Open Crossover, click install, browse ".Net 4" and when it asks where you want to install it select "New bottle" then proceed to select the win 7 64 bits. This would be a different method to create a bottle, rather than create the bottle and then start adding software to it.

First two .net will install fine, then it will install .Net 4 and extended (its a bundle) and the errors you mentioned will pop, just click close each time (I counted 4 of them)

This is the result:

Perhaps there's something messing around when you create first the bottle and then install it afterwards..tried to contact you in discord but you were not available, let me know how it goes :)
It sounds very plausible that it's related to .Net - but I've tried various versions, both from Crossover's software list and directly downloaded from Microsoft, in various bottles and none of them seems to "fix" it. I also tried your suggestion above - with the same end result. When I try to launch the game, the game client pops up in my dock for a few seconds and then closes down with no error messages or anything. It's almost like something isn't connecting as it should. Bummer :( Are there any firewalls or something like that on Mac, that I'm not aware of?

I also replied to you in Discord with a bit more details, so check that when you get the time.

And thanks for your help in trying to figure this out!
Same issue here. Also with PlayonMac, Wineskin & Crossover.
Did you solved it?

Hi there, we did try many things to solve that problem but he kept having troubles..I keep believing its a .NET issue and its not downloading stuff properly...could you retry the process but under another routher / connection? I wonder if there's some issue with that.

Sorry for the late reply - only just noticed this.

But no, never managed to solve it, so gave up on getting the game to run directly on MacOS through Crossover etc. Instead I went back to making a Windows partition and installing the game there.

If you manage to get it to work, by all means post the solution here!

Maybe the new Apple Game Porting Toolkit will perform better than CrossOver/WINE?

Worth a shot if you don't mind the complicated setup:

*won't be trying myself anytime soon since I'm not using Mac at the moment

Apple Game porting kit only works for dx11/dx12 64 bits game... in top of that you need to install Beta Sonoma.

and btw its still a crossover wrapper (wine) with some new libs to translate directly dx into metal.

Got the same launcher issue as stated before on an M2 Pro MBP 2023.

Something is messing with the .NET framework installation.

Just installed it on the M2 Max and it runs quite well! actually its amazing how well it runs...i'll upload a video, at 2x speed and with some loading screen time cutted specially during the Net. 4 install that takes a very long time (up to 15 mins after the last skipped error)
