lacymorrow/crossover v3.4.9

3.4.9

on GitHub

3.4.8 never went out, so this is the first release with crosshair presets and the rest of the 3.4.8 changes below. On top of those, 3.4.9 fixes the Linux packages.

New

• Crosshair presets. Save a crosshair you've tuned under a name and switch between saved ones with a hotkey, so you stop rebuilding each setup by hand. (#334, #110, #219, #286)
• The keyboard hide key can hold, toggle or press. Hold hides it while the key is down and is still the default. Toggle hides it until you press again, and press hides it until the next time you aim. (#340)
• One switch in Keybinds turns off every global hotkey at once. Lock and Reset keep working, so you can't strand a locked crosshair. (#299)

Fixed

• On macOS the crosshair draws over fullscreen games again. It used to stay behind on the desktop Space and vanish as soon as a game went fullscreen. (#546)
• Follow Mouse keeps tracking while you hold a mouse button. Before, the crosshair froze in place for as long as the button was down. (#542)
• Hide on ADS hides duplicate crosshairs too. They stayed on screen while you aimed, which made the feature look broken if you used more than one. (#536, #539)
• Show on ADS works with Resize on ADS turned on. Letting go of the button used to bring the crosshair back when it should have stayed hidden. (#539)
• Duplicate crosshairs now react to the hide hotkey, Hide on keypress, Resize on ADS and tilt. Before, they stayed put while the main one moved. (#560, #561)
• On Wayland, CrossOver tells you why global hotkeys can't fire instead of leaving every key silently dead. Builds on a current Electron restart themselves on X11, where hotkeys do register. The official builds are still on Electron 14, so you have to do that relaunch yourself for now. (#456)
• The Crosshair Actions note in settings used to say these features don't work on Apple Silicon. They do. It now names the two things that actually block them: macOS Accessibility permission, and games with kernel-level anti-cheat. (#539)

Linux

• There's an Arch package (.pacman) in the release now. It depended on http-parser, which Arch dropped, so pacman refused to install it. It installs on current Arch. (#597)
• The .deb starts on minimal Ubuntu and Debian installs. It didn't list the sound and graphics libraries Electron needs, so without them it quit at launch with libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file. On Ubuntu 24.04 it asks for libasound2t64. (#597)
• Hide on ADS, Follow Mouse and the hide keys work in the Snap Store version. The snap shipped without the libraries the mouse and keyboard hooks need, so those features silently did nothing. (#598)
