okey hahah
I'll try to reinstall the game, maybe it will help, I'll get back to you in 9/10 minutes
well, it won't change anything
I will keep trying
@TheGoldenGem YOU WON'T BELIEVE GPT CHAT HELPED ME XDDDD
and I'm probably the first one to have such a problem
I'll just send you what the gpt chat told me and what helped me
This error is often caused by the presence of "macOS" support files in the game's folders that start with .. macOS creates such files (so-called resource forks) when copying data to systems that do not support extended attributes. In your case, the game (when launched via CrossOver) tries to read such a file as a data packet, which leads to an incorrect reading of the version (i.e. "464389" instead of the expected "9").
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
Delete files starting with .:
Go to the folder where the game is located (specifically the datapackfiles folder) and delete all files whose names start with . - in your case at least the .ep100-000-generic-ar file.
Automatic removal (optional):
If you have access to a terminal, you can go to the root of the game and execute the command (make sure you have a backup or are sure you are only deleting unnecessary files):
find . -name '.*' -delete
This command will search all subdirectories and remove files starting with ._.
Restart the game:
After deleting these files, try restarting the game via CrossOver. This should eliminate the "unsupported version" error.

this worked??
xenial-blackOP•9mo ago
yes XDDDD
national-gold•9mo ago
thats
really funny wtf???
xenial-blackOP•9mo ago
I'm sorry if you took it wrong because in my country gpt chat is considered something that never helps
However, in this case it turned out to be gold
but most of all I would like to thank you because if it weren't for your answers, I would probably give up after 5 minutes

and now its work
to summarize for everyone who encounters such an error
1 go to the game folder through the terminal:
cd (and enter the folder location here or drag)
2 Enter the command that will show hidden files:
ls -la
3 Enter the command:
find . -name '._*' -delete
4 open the heroic launcher again and start the game
