I managed to fix the problem, finally. It appears that wine-preloaded had crashed, and the process was never killed. So it was still running in the background, and thus prevented running the game again. I opened up Activity Monitor, and clicked on Process Name to sort the items by the name of the process. I looked for wine-preloaded, and saw that one of them was in red, and marked as "(Not Responding)". I clicked on that line, and then clicked the left-most button on the button toolbar (it looks like an x in a circle). It asked me what I wanted to do, and I selected "Force Quit", which made it disappear. After that, I ran Tequila, and was able to start CoH again. Happy day!

For me, the wine-preloader showedwith the CoH logo, and quitting it didn't solve the problem. Nor did deleting my wine profile. Now, I don't even get the two windows, wine just hangs there. I guess I'm going to give deleting the entire thing a try, and have Island Rum download the game again.

I run Island Rum occasionally, to have it check for new files, but despite sometimes getting new stuff downloaded I have not yet seen any changes. I still get the two windows, and Win just hanging out doing nothing. I'm glad I have a spare Windows PC I can run Homecoming on, but I'd really rather run it on my Mac. 😞

I'm experiencing the same problems, as well. It was working fine before I updated to Catalina 10.15.4, but now after I updated the Mac OS it isn't working. As far as I know, Wine is still used to run CoH on Macs. The process running is the called the wine64-preloader, and the menu bar shows the app calling itself Wine.
