CrosBox hubs upon starting on Mono 4.8

Elements Elements Bugs
1

Steps:
Install VisualStudio on macOS wich installs Mono 4.8
After this CrossBox does not work anymore because it stop responding upon starting up

A workaround is to reinstall Mono 4.6 however I did not verify how it affects VisualStudio for macOS

4.8 is still beta, right? can you elaborate on “doesn’t work anymore”?

3

mono 4.8 not support CROSSBOX

don’t use unsupported alpha builds of Mono that have bugs.
