If it helps, the Wine that I have packaged with the Mac version is "frozen" at 9.0. Sometimes later versions of Wine can break things for a while until they get fixed again. If you can, downgrade Wine and see if that works.

I'm still working on self-update not working when permissions on the Applications folder are too restrictive. In the mean time, just download a newer version here: https://launchcat.powermadsoftware.com/launchcat.zip

Heads up for Linux users... problems with WINE versions > 9.20
GM Manga replied to mechahamham's topic in Help & Support
If it helps any of you, LaunchCat and Island Rum are frozen on the Wine 9.0 version currently, and it’s working fine. -

This is why I test and freeze the version of Wine that LaunchCat and Island Rum use. I've run into rogue Wine versions before that don't work. -
LaunchCat: Homecoming for Mac installer replacement
GM Manga replied to GM Manga's topic in Open Beta Testing
Try rebooting first. If that fails, sometimes renaming the CoH folder in Applications and installing LaunchCat from scratch fixes that. -
You’re welcome!

There are TWO ways to install City of Heroes Homecoming on your Mac: 1. The preferred way is to download the LaunchCat (which uses the Homecoming Launcher) here: https://launchcat.powermadsoftware.com/launchcat.zip. 2. An alternate way is to download Island Rum for Mac, here: https://launchcat.powermadsoftware.com/islandrum-mac.zip. Both packages automatically install everything you need!

Try the above, and also check through your laptop's proprietary settings (they might be BIOS or EFI settings you have to access at boot) and make sure the laptop does not use any kind of energy saving mode for graphics, and uses the nVidia processor full time. Otherwise it might use it only on-demand to save energy, which means the game might not detect it.

Turn off any VPN's and make sure you're either not using any "nanny firewall" (whitelist firewall) in your wifi router or cable/fiber modem, or whitelist powermad.net in those. -

I can't even duplicate that, my only guess is you have a VPN that's filtering it or a network firewall blocking it. -

LaunchCat: Homecoming for Mac installer replacement
GM Manga replied to GM Manga's topic in Open Beta Testing
Awesome! The new things are: It adds separation of https statements so they can't time out and run into each other, and it will now attempt to forcibly correct the permissions of the coh folder on launch if they are not correct. -

@Shadow Kitty I posted a new LaunchCat today: https://launchcat.powermadsoftware.com/launchcat.zip It incorporates a lot of different fixes and a few new tricks based on what I learned yesterday, hopefully it helps.
