May 27, 2011 If it works as well for you as it has worked for the hundreds of current Mac and Linux e-Sword users, come back to this page to purchase CrossOver with a 25% discount. Aug 01, 2012 I have the CD version of Civ IV and the expansions. I installed all of those, as well as DirectX9 and the XML parser (version 6) via Crossover. However, when I launch the game, I get a Wine program crash popup with the message 'Internal errors - Invalid parameters Received'. I am running Crossover 11.0.3 on Linux Mint 13.
This tutorial discusses how to upgrade a pre-existing installation of e-Sword on your Mac. If you don't already have e-Sword installed on your Mac, do not follow these directions as they will not correctly install a fresh copy of e-Sword.1. Download the installer
To upgrade an existing installation of e-Sword 10 or 10.0.5 on your Mac, first go to the e-Sword website and download the update for the latest version of e-Sword (as of the writing of this article the latest version was v. 10.1):http://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html
2. Launch and setup Crossover's Software Installer
Now, launch Crossover and head to the 'Configure>Install Software' menu:Choose 'Other Application' from the list of software (do not choose 'e-Sword')
Now, click on 'select an installer', and then 'choose installer file':
Browse to and select the 'update1010.exe' file that you downloaded in Step 1, and click 'Use this installer':

3. Select the pre-existing e-Sword bottle
After choosing the installer file, you'll need to select your pre-existing e-Sword bottle as the destination source, rather than a new bottle. Click on 'will install into a new winxp bottle 'update1010.exe':

and select the pre-existing e-Sword bottle from the list (it will be below the options for 'new' bottles):
Click 'install' after selecting the bottle.
4. Proceed through the e-Sword install wizard

(Major props to stefand for his patient babysitting on irc while I got this working)
I have the retail version of Civ4:BtS working on my MacBookPro under Crossover Games. Steps I took:
1) I had a complete up to date install (including nocd hack) on my bootcamp WinXP partition. I copied this over to the bottle.
2) Start Crossover Games, then select the Program|Run Command menu item. Turn logging on, then navigate to your BtS exe. When you run it, it fails with an Error 53. Look in the log and see which version of the d3dx9_xx.dll you are missing. Mine was d3dx_33.dll, yours may vary. A quick google for the file will find it - download it and install into the windows/system32 directory for your bottle.
3) Now if you try to run BtS it should get to the initialization screen (this can take several minutes, be patient!) and eventually error out with the infamous 'can't load shaders' civ bug. You need to download this specific version of directx and install it into your bottle using the Program|Run Command menu item (pointed to your dxsetup.exe)

4) In your home directory under Document/My Games/Beyond The Sword directory is a Civ4.ini file. You probably want to set fullscreen=0.
5) Run Civ4:BtS (remember, it takes a while to load) and play!
