Korbian Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 From another thread. Might be what you are looking for... Sorry for reviving this thread, but I want to post the fix/workaround for anyone else who comes across this. You need the unzip the CoH client before it installs. Otherwise IslandRum will download the files, but it has nowhere to put it, so waste a lot of time doing nothing. Install IslandRum. Make a "City of Heroes" folder in your /Applications folder. Run IslandRum. It will ask if you want to download the Game Client. Click OK. When IslandRum finishes downloading the Game Client, you will see "macclient.zip" in your "City of Heroes" folder. Unzip that file and it will create a file called CoH with Statesman on it. Quit and restart IslandRum. IslandRum will download the files and add them to the CoH launcher. You will know this is working because the CoH file size increases with each downloaded file. Mine started at around 460 MB and ended at over 5.44 GB. Once it finishes downloading, you won't see the "error loading plist" message anymore. IslandRun will try to launch CoH. If CoH still doesn't load after this, try running the WineskinLauncher app inside CoH. If you look inside the package contents it's at Contents/MacOS/WineskinLauncher. Good luck to anyone reading this (and hopefully the Mac client still works in 10.15) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_anger Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Good luck to anyone reading this (and hopefully the Mac client still works in 10.15) It won't stiil work in 10.15 btw. So don't upgrade in the fall (unless they figure something out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingAries Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Now it IS possible to multi-boot different versions of MacOS on the same machine BTW. It'll take more work than I'm ready to re-research, but it's just as simple as using bootcamp and with less troubleshooting (because you're on the same platform). But like has been said, do NOT upgrade beyond Mojave.

FlySaab Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Once I have the full CoH downloaded, can I run it directly, or should I launch it through Island Rum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
