A little help
getting started.
Read the documentation How do I get started?
Download Crosswire, open the disk image, and drag Crosswire to Applications. Open the app, complete any setup it requests, then choose your Windows installer.
On first launch, Crosswire may ask to install Rosetta 2, an Apple component. This needs an internet connection and takes a few minutes.
For setup and macOS security prompts, follow the getting started guide.
Where do I find an installer?
Get the Windows version from the software’s publisher or your game library. Choose the downloaded installer (.exe, .msi, .bat or .iso) in Crosswire.
What if an app does not open?
Use Launch with Diagnostics from the app’s page to capture a log. Read the troubleshooting guide for the next steps. Some apps and games are incompatible.
For bugs or feedback, contact Casita Software.
