Данчо Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi, I have a 2GHz Core Duo MacBook, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD. I installed CrossOver version 6.2.1 to run uTorrent. Everything works fine for a few minutes, but after that uTorrent kind of freezes (can't press any buttons, nothing moves/changes, completely frozen), but at the same time I see the bandwith meter reads that it's downloading at 200k/sec. When I look at the processes, "wineserver" and "wineloader" take up 70% of CPU power, about 35% each, then the exhaust fan hits 6200rpm, etc, etc, but uTorrent still doesn't respond. Sometimes it starts to respond real slow, but most often I have to end the process from CrossOver's task manager. Other times, uTorrent hangs completely, not even dowloading. I tried several versions of uTorrent, other torrent programs, even different "bottles" (winXP and win2000), but still the same happens. Is there something wrong with CrossOver? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Данчо Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 No ideas yet? It seems that the uTorrent window freezes after I minimize/hide it, or I drag other windows on top of it... maybe it has to do with graphics? btw I forgot to mention that I'm on Mac OS 10.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Данчо Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 thank you, but with this one it crashed totally... however after i installed darwin it seems to be more stable, but still freezes eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vareba Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'm having the same issue. I've tried all sorts of different configurations of X11, Darwine and CrossOver. It seems as if the program is still running, itself, but is no longer responding to /any/ input from the user, such as typing, clicking, dragging, or even trying to move or resize the window itself. For example, if you were running mIRC.exe, you could still see messages from the server or other people, but the window will not accept your input. CrossOver seems to be independent of the native X11 installation or version, though it has the same effect of "freezing" (but still actually running). When using X11 (2.2.1)/Darwine, it happens less frequent, but still happens. It appears to be happening with X11 itself, as xterms have the same "freeze" effect, and it will not work until X11 is completely restarted.

Данчо Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 I noticed that it works, i.e. it doesn't stop responding if don't minimize it (hide it).. i guess something gets screwed up when i maximize it (restore it)... do you get the same thing?

CEpeep Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 If anyone is still having this issue, try going into winecfg and telling it to run in a virtual desktop window. That fixed the issue for me in Crossover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
