the game does not start and shows the following error: r::PackFile - data_packfiles._ep100-000-generic-ar is of an unsupported version (464389, current is 9)
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.
