Crossover’s response is perfectly reasonable, in fact similar to L&L policy on OS betas. Hardly any company will expend effort on compatibility with betas. Too many things can change. The fact V3 beta worked for 2 years is a bonus. The people at Crossover are very helpful in my experience. Aski...
I have to say that I agree with the OP, especially since the beta/RC period is taking as long at it is. At the very least, there should be an 'override' option that allows you to use an expired beta for another one or two weeks, giving you time to find a place that has a good (and fast!) internet co...
As multiple people have noticed, the latest Scrivener beta crashes in Crossover 20/Wine 5.X. After running a few tests, I discovered that the crash occurs when Scrivener tries to load the text-to-speech engine. As a workaround, rename the subfolder 'texttospeech' inside the Scrivener folder to somet...
I have found the cause: Scrivener crashes if it tries to load the text-to-speech engine. As a workaround, rename the subfolder 'texttospeech' inside the Scrivener folder to something like 'texttospeech_old'. This will prevent the application from loading the *dll file, and allow the application to l...
I just solved this on my system, so I thought I'd post the solution here. Ibus was installed on my computer using Kubuntu 19.10, but I still ran into the problem where Scrivener would produce the same character every time I tried typing an accent. I.e., if I first typed é, every accented character t...

Thank you for your reply!
What do you mean when you say a 'mix' works? I'd like to try out your approach on my Windows PC.
I have a Scrivener project folder which I have been using for the past ten years or so as a repository for notes concerning the various sources that I work on as a scholar. This has always worked well. By allowing me to organise, edit and look up information in one and the same interface, Scrivener ...
You are welcome! This appears to be a permissions issue. EDIT #1 - odd: I was able to edit a text that had a comment by running the programme as an administrator, but was able to do this only once. No further edits held - they were gone when I restarted Scrivener. EDIT #2 - I am no longer sure this ...
I think I've discovered a very substantial bug in the new beta: If you add comments to a text you can no longer edit it . To replicate, * Create a new project; * Add two identical texts to either 'draft' or 'research' (use e.g. lorem ipsum); * Add a comment to one of the two texts (shift-F4); * Save...
