then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:02 AM

well, it won't change anything

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:03 AM

I will keep trying

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:22 AM

@TheGoldenGem YOU WON'T BELIEVE GPT CHAT HELPED ME XDDDD

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:22 AM

and I'm probably the first one to have such a problem

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:23 AM

I'll just send you what the gpt chat told me and what helped me

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:24 AM

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??

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:24 AM

yes XDDDD

popular-magenta•2/8/25, 1:24 AM

thats

really funny wtf???

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:25 AM

I'm sorry if you took it wrong because in my country gpt chat is considered something that never helps

then-purpleOP•2/8/25, 1:26 AM

However, in this case it turned out to be gold
