@CladStriffe @adilutp Hello, I have updated this script to work once more! I've also included a bit to refresh your bottles for you! Hip hip hooray! curl:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Prexry/evil-crossover/refs/heads/main/refresh.sh)
it says preserving original CrossOver -> CrossOver.origin
mv: rename CrossOver to CrossOver.origin: Operation not permitted
does this work for linux (debian)?
please dm me on discord if you cant send it here

@mariomaaren
No, if you're on linux, you have no reason to use CrossOver.
You can use Proton via Steam or just use Wine
use proton, crossover is not easier on linux
proton for games, wine for everything else. simply install the package and voila.
Thank you
@zeinib00 what script did you use? I've been trying all that are on this thread but no one worked anymore on Crossover 26
Hola funiconal , sigue funiconando para bajarlo en mi mac m4

@cassettesgoboom I saw this script somewhere, use it for educational purposes only:

Crossover for Mac
CrossOver Mac includes a Windows program library of Windows programs that it can run. You will find very popular applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Quick or Windows Media Player. Keep in mind that you will still need the installer to install any application.

Please do not follow the instructions on this link. The code is base64 encoded TWICE. The variable names are heavily obfuscated as well. It's A TRAP

This repo activates Crossover for 99999 days, not a trial reset
Feel free to look at the source code, it is basically the same as totallynotinteresting/crossover
Hi there,
First of all, thanks for rehosting this repository!
It seems that the current patch script (patch.sh) might be outdated or no longer working with the latest version of CrossOver. When running the installation command, the trial period doesn't seem to extend to 9999 days anymore.
Could you please look into this and update the repository with a working script when you have some free time?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, I appreciate your generosity, but currently I do not have time to test. But, I have made an edit to the script to try and dynamically find the CrossOver app to patch, please try out this script version and let me know what changes. Thank you!
