Hide on ADS
Choose a mouse button to use as your ADS button. The crosshair will be hidden while this button is held down.

A handful of users have reported FPS issues with certain games (#70), CrossOver should not add any FPS or latency so if you experience it, toggle this setting on or off and disable Hide on ADS
Start on boot
You can automatically set CrossOver to start when your system starts on your gaming PC, so you're always ready to pop heads.
Automatic Updates
By default CrossOver will automatically keep itself updated with bug fixes and improvements. You can disable this in the settings to prevent all network requests.CrossOver will only connect to GitHub to download published releases and does not send or store any personal data.

Keep in mind that keybinds may conflict with other programs so be careful about what you choose. There's no real mechanism for preventing you from setting two conflicting keyinds within the app, so don't do that.
