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) 🙂

 

 

This worked perfectly for me as well. Thank you so much! Was really worried there!

Right now I tried opening the game. I'm getting the messages "Beginning update," "Creating Holding Area 100%", and it's blinking saying "Scanning," but nothing has happened for about an hour now. I did update homebrew and wine.

The 1st Fist of Light is on Indomitable, we are a RP supergroup that have been together since Everquest back in '99, moved around from game to game sticking together, and we spent the most time in one place here in CoX.  Still getting organized and calling all our old timers, but we are here, and looking for anyone who wants to join.

 

I'm on Indomitable and would be interested, but after reading this I'm wondering if I should re-create my characters on Everlasting.
