Try to change screen resolution in the bw setup. Exe

In Crossover I just use "Unlisted program", choose Win10 64bit.

So my friend, I just quickly installed B&W2 on Crossover. It works well, but your cursor course does happen on this installation too. I checked also my PortingKit B&W2 installation and it also has the "cursor curse". At this point my best suggestion is to try Discord B&W2 forum.

I just tried again the "changing daytime" you describe. It just does not work on my setup. And actually never heard of this feature mentioned by anyone else. When I put my cursor to the horizon or sky it gives the rotate or tilt option nothing else. Oh for gods sake you are playing B&W 2...

Change settings in the setup.exe Maybe check/uncheck windowed option, change resolution.

Yes, I still run the game on WS11WineCX64bit 22.1.1-12. Never heard of the "changing daytime" control combo. Tried just right now, it doesn't even work on my setup at all.

the double cursor is sometimes happens with me too, though very seldom. I just ignore it or save and close then reopen and the cursor goes away.

I was never interested in BTG. So I never tried installing it. Try the “install add on” method. As a rule ALL my B&W installations are on their separate folder on C:, not in Program Files or such folders.

I am glad it worked. We need some MAC representation on this board. Now if you want you can add the Ultimate mod. That gives you , among other things, a HARD option, if you get bored to beat the regular game.:p;)

The author of Ultimate is Shane. You can find him on B&W Discord. You should ask his opinion on this.

Did you install the game outside the Program files folder? If not install it to C/Games/B&W or C/B&W. Also did you enable Infinite Draw option?

I see from time to time a few interested questions regarding playing B&W on MAC machines. The original MAC version of the game from the early 2000's was for PowerPc, and never was updated. I played the game when it came out and I relly bonded with it. I am and never was a big video game person...

Can you run the vanilla game?

I am running B&W and Ultimate on a M2 Mac using PortingKit (that is Wine based), flawlessly I might add, with the Windows version of the game. The Mac files were for PowerPc and are obsolete now.
