Describe the bug No game actually runs. They install just fine, but after pressing Play, the Play button usually returns to "Play" again after a little while. Nothing pops up, no error message, absolutely nothing happens.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS Monterey 12.0.1
• Heroic Version [e.g. 22]
• Game: any (tried Abzu, Ape Out, 20XX, Blair Witch)
• Wine/Proton version: Crossover 21.1, Legendary binary 0.20.18 (builtin)
• Hardware specs (RAM, CPU, GPU): 2015 iMac 5k (i5 6600, Radeon M395x, 24 GB RAM) and Hackintosh i9 10850k, 64 GB RAM, RX 580

Additional context I'd install Wine manually but there's no mention of this in documentation, Crossover should have its own Wine libraries and the official server says Wine supports only up to MacOS 10.14.

This looks like an issue with Crossover. Check if this path exists: Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin/wineboot

Also, check if this bottle was created, try to start it manually or run other software on it. Check if on heroic, on the wine settings, the bottle name is correct and the crossover path is correct as well.

After manually creating a Heroic bottle in Crossover, I'm able to run many games! So that seems to have worked. Thank you so much!
