Ventura 13.3 Update broke Homecoming Launcher


Recommended Posts

Been troubleshooting this for a few days, uninstalling Wine, the launcher, etc. Has anyone else updated to 13.3 and have the game just up and break? When I open CoH Launcher, it stays on the dock for a bit and then disappears. However, there will be 5 or 6 wine64 items in Activity Monitor that are just sitting there, taking up processing.

 

Any ideas?

Looks like a Wine issue with MacOS Ventura.  https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/1261ic4/problem_with_running_wine64_at_macos_after/


Wine-Devel has a fix, prob. not useful to say "hold off on that update, folks", but that.  Wine-Dev branch has the fix if you want to try to fix it on your own.

I am not a chat bot, I think.  I just drink a lot of caffeine and type too damn much.

Can confirm this issue on my system.  Exactly as described in OP, wine64-preloader stalls and "Launch CoH" exits without the client loading.  Successive runs just opens another copy of wine64-preloader.

My Mac isn't the primary driver I use to game on, thankfully.

I tried this in the terminal

$wine64 /Applications/Launch\ CoH.app

and got 

 

zsh: permission denied: /Applications/Launch CoH.app

In Privacy & Security  Launch CoH has permission to use Desktop Folder. But that's the only permission I can find...

In Privacy and Security, did you give Launch CoH permission to open files and folders?

Full disk access should not need to be enabled.  I have it off on my Mac, and it runs fine without it.  I think the most critical permission is Network Volumes, since Wine reaches the COH folder in Applications as a Z: drive (I could be wrong.)

I uninstalled "Launch CoH" app and "coh" folder. Then downloaded from here today (when I posted this): https://islandrum.powermad.net/mac-installer.zip

 

and installed... and now the game loads up just fine! I had uninstalled and downloaded 4 days ago, but it didn't work that time...

thanks!

 

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

Did you change your host? I thought you used something else before? Not that it Matters, but curious.
