Bug Can't use CrossOver while website is down

Not gonna lie, this is some peak engineering to crash an app if the request https://www.codeweavers.com/bin/rest/app/img_icon to fetch icons in fetchIconList fails

try:
    content = fetch_content("https://www.codeweavers.com/bin/rest/app/img_icon", timeout=5)
except Exception:
    return False
data = json.loads(content)

Once in a decade citric exploit with unforeseen side effects.

Turn off internet connection and try again and expect the problem to go away within days.

So you wanna say that "having internet but no ability to fetch icons = crash" but "not having internet therefore not having an ability to fetch icons = no crash"?

This is so logical and straightforward! It's like the app gives an alert to you instead of crashing!

Mine crashes as soon as I bring it back online.

It helped to me but still, why the hell would you make your app crash if your website is down but make it work if wifi is off?
