I have started a beta cycle for the next generation of LaunchCat (click the underline to download it). This new version is lighter weight built in .NET Maui for MacOS only without any baggage from the Unity game engine. It also fixes a couple of bugs in previous versions - but it may have new ones, which is why it's in beta! It also requires at least MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) to run, but Wine 9.0 now requires that as well, so they're perfectly aligned.

Wine is not infected, it was sourced directly from WineHQ. It's a false positive.

If anything strange happens with LaunchCat, the best place to start is rename the coh folder inside Applications and launch LaunchCat again. Rebooting first helps sometimes, too.

Beta has concluded! There are now full signed and unsigned versions of LaunchCat available.

New version was released yesterday that improves the self-update mechanism. If you have trouble with it self-updating, use the link above to re-download LaunchCat.

I added a new Mac tool to the arsenal of Mac tools at the Homecoming for Mac site. It's a new beta tool called LaunchCat (you can download it by clicking the name). LaunchCat replaces the Homecoming for Mac installer, and downloading all of the necessary pieces to launch the HC Launcher after it's installed. Therefore it can be fully signed with Apple Developer ID, leading to less complaints and workarounds on modern MacOS systems. It is also capable of keeping Wine, and itself, up to date. There is also an unsigned version for older MacOS systems that don't support Developer ID: LaunchCat (Unsigned)

Try it out and see if it works better for you!

Go to the Security panel in Settings (the MacOS Settings), and select Open Anyway.

I updated the post at the top of this thread with newer and simpler instructions.

Open the Security settings panel and click "Open Anyway". That happens because the package includes Wine, which can't be signed without building it from source code.

I'm migrating away from eekstudio.com because unfortunately someone else has that name copyrighted.

Little known fact about that installer, it does try to repair permissions to the best of its ability. So sometimes a reinstall helps.

Re-download the Mac Installer: https://islandrum.powermad.net/mac-installer.zip It has a fix for that.
