War in the West on Mac
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2015 7:22 pm
Just wanted to chime in and say I have WitW working on my mbpro. I used the playonmac (search google) installer.
I did have to do the following:
- use the "install non-listed program" feature
- installed with the standard downloader (war in the east may work from steam out of the box)
- downgraded the wine version to 1.4.1
- setup wine to have a much larger virtual desktop than the standard 800x600
- installed the latest WitW patch
Issues:
- latest version of wine crashes whenever I use the arrow keys, so don't use it
- expanding the mac window scales the graphics and creates mouse offset issues, so don't do that
Everything else seems to work, performance is great, but I have not tried played very far into the game yet. If anyone wants to try the out, feel free to ask some questions here. I'll do my best to help out. This is one of those games I always wanted to play in bed on my laptop, and now I can!
