Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 Island Rum 111720191 I’ve been running Homecoming 64 bit fine for a while. Recently on attempting to launch, I have started getting a city of heroes window which is all black with another tiny cow window on top of it. The launching graphic shows as well, but it hangs there. I noticed from the thread several other members having this issue. I don't have a solution...yet, here's what I've tried. One change is that I used the terminal commands required to get Mids Reborn running. This went fine and have been able to use Mids and Heroes. This may have contributed to my CoH ceasing to function, if not being the direct cause. For Mids Reborn, I followed a post: MacOS Install Guide *Catalina Not Supported* Install Homebrew using this command in the terminal: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" This should allow for the installation of both Wine and Winetricks, which'll go as follows. Install XQuartz, required for Wine to work: brew cask install xquartz Install Wine and Winetricks: brew install wine | brew install winetricks Install the .NET 4.7.2 libraries via Winetricks - follow the prompts that appear: winetricks dotnet472 Download the macOS/Linux Mids ZIP file, and extract it. Open a terminal up at that location, and then run this command: wine "Hero Designer.exe" -Courtesy of Korvinagor- Edited October 21 by crytilis After this sequence, Mids Reborn worked fine, as did CoH Homecoming. I also have an Application CoH (5.5GB) that has the CoH icon and was in the applications folder. Others have had success moving it to the Coh folder, which I have tried. I also noticed it "moved" to the documents folder at one point. I tried moving it back, and on suggestion placing it in both applications AND the coh directory. Also, at one point, the 64 bit version was greyed out. This last positioning of the application, and using island rum resetting path and rescanning finally got new game files to download, 40-50, and 64 bit became active again. When launched, got an error, below. I Downloaded the app new from the link http://telstar.eekstudio.com/macclient-wineskin.zip and it resulted in a CoH app under 500 mb. The one I already had, dated 4.19, as mentioned, is 5.5 GB. Not sure which is the one to use, and where they should reside. I tried each in all permutations of locations. I have no idea what the application is for, as I understand the game exists in the coh directory. I have: deleted .wine directory. Used various capitalizations of the CoH, coh directory in applications. Don't know which it should be. Issued "brew remove wine" , got: brew remove wine Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/wine/4.0.2... (8,874 files, 653.7MB) Not sure what the latest status of this install should be. Happy to provide any info I may have neglected to give and to take any suggestions to help get back up and running. My other Macs, various OSs, are still working fine. Thanks tons! -Techulon 11/24/2019 I am able to play. When the loader shows me the tiny window on top of the larger window, I select the smaller window and push return on the keyboard. Popped right into the splash screen then login as normal. It was there the whole time, waiting for an enter. How did I figure this out? Desperation and trying everything. Hope this helps.

Made the same, also looking for advice.
