    Post here if you're a Mac user having trouble with Island Rum after the August 22 update

    Trying to install everything on a third Mac, of which I am an admin. Updated IR is installed, but now getting this when I try to install Homebrew via terminal:

     

    ==> Downloading and installing Homebrew...

    error: could not lock config file /usr/local/Homebrew/.git/config: Permission denied

    fatal: could not set 'core.repositoryformatversion' to '0'

    Failed during: git init -q

     

    Any idea how to fix this? I'm an admin and have read and write privileges, so I'm stumped as to what to do next.

    This is what worked for me, based on Manga's instructions (updated two Macs - a MacBook Pro and an iMac, both running Mojave):

     

    1. Make sure Island Rum is updated to version 082220191. Shut it down.

     

    2.  Install Homebrew and Wine via your Terminal (located under Applications/Utilities. You need to run it as the admin for your Mac as it will ask you for your Mac password).  Follow the instructions at http://brew.sh first, and after Homebrew installs, run "brew install wine" in Terminal.

     

    3. When all that is done (take a few minutes), re- open Island Rum. You should see some progress bars updating and installing. If you don't, open the first drop-down menu (the palm tree) and select RESCAN. (You could probably rescan either way, just to double-check). When that's done, close Island Rum and re-start your Mac.

     

    4. Upon re-boot, re-open Island Rum, make sure "Homecoming 64-bit" is selected and proceed as you normally have done. 

     

    That should do it! (I hope) 🙂

    OK. I've got it working! Hallelujah. The missing instruction was " Click on the Palm tree and reload everything. by clicking RESCAN"


    I got it working by selecting RESET PATH and pointing to the new Applications/coh folder, so it looks like we’ve come up with two troubleshooting possibilities.

    Island Rum updated fine, installed Homebrew via Terminal with no problems, then installed Wine with Homebrew and started up Island Rum again. Selected 64-bit client, get the green check mark, and then nothing. Island Rum closes out and CoH does not open/load.  Tried manually moving the files from the previous CoH directory into Applications/coh as suggested in Manga's post, but still nothing. I'm running Mojave on a MacBook Pro. Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to what I'm missing.

    Island Rum updated fine, 64-bit client option was a bit greyed out. After reading the post here I installed Wine with Homebrew and started up Island Rum again.

    Worked just fine now with the 64-bit client. Tested on both my Macbook Pro laptops (2018 and 2013 models) which runs Mojave and it worked great!

    No problems so far.

     

    Thank you very much for this update!

     

     

    This is hopeful. I’ve done all of the above but when I try to launch the game from Island Rum (also a MBP running Mojave), IR just quits and doesn’t load CoH. Not sure what I’ve missed.
