    Before you access the 64-bit Homecoming client on a Mac, you'll need to do the following:

     

    1.  Your Island Rum should update automatically to version 082220191.  If it doesn't, download it here: http://telstar.eekstudio.com/islandrum-mac.zip

     

    2.  The preferred new way to load the 64-bit client is to install Homebrew and Wine.  Follow the instructions at http://brew.sh first, and after Homebrew installs, run "brew install wine" in Terminal. After that, Island Rum should move all of your CoH files to Applications - if it fails to do so, you can right-click on your old Wineskin client, select Show Contents, and find your CoH files in drive_c/Program Files/coh.  The auto-copy is not supported for the Cider client, so you will have to move those manually (they should be in Contents/Resources/transgaming/drive_c/coh).

     

    3.  If you wish to use the Wineskin client, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT WITH THE 64-BIT CLIENT, OR WITH CATALINA.  If you still want to use it, rename it to CoH.app, and move it to Applications.  Occasionally, the Wineskin client might break; in that case, re-download it from http://telstar.eekstudio.com/macclient-wineskin.zip and put it into Applications (move your existing one out of the way if needed).  You can move your CoH files into the new copy if you wish by right-clicking the app and using the Show Contents option - the CoH files are in drive_c/Program Files/coh.

     

    4.  If you wish to use the Cider client, it's much the same warnings and method as above, except it's called "City of Heroes.app" instead.  Also, it's no longer available for download, because I lost it.

     

    5.  Island Rum defaults to the /Applications/coh folder by default when using Wine.

     

    I apologize for the difficult installation process; Getting it all working and tested properly before the 64-bit client went live at Homecoming was a herculean task.  I do have plans for Island Rum to handle the entire Wine installation itself, but there simply wasn't time to get that part working properly.  So I took the simplest route I could with the time I had.

    Using your link for island rum I am getting a different working version, 082220193. I have deleted and re-installed a hundred times, tried brewer, don't understand the wine thing and am totally lost and can not play!!! I'm on mac Mojave 10.14.6. hardware is a MacBook Air 2ghz i7 with 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB. Please let me know if there is something else I can do or, help I can possibly get from someone else. I really want to game... I just moved into my new house with better internet and want to put it to the test... PLEASE HELP ME!!!
