CoH for Mac M2

[MasterAdun]

Ive been trying to get homecoming on my Mac (just got it) with M2 chip, I downloaded and used the launch cat but for whatever reason it briefly opens the window, says " checking update" and then just force closes. Any help to get homecoming up and running??? thank you in advance!

I'm pretty sure you'll need emulation software like Parallels. PC games won't run natively on M2 chips.

Launch Cat is a Mac specific installer that grabs the required libraries needed to run City even on Apple's M* series of chips @Manga May have more info for this, or may need logs / etc.

If anything strange happens with LaunchCat, the best place to start is rename the coh folder inside Applications and launch LaunchCat again.  Rebooting first helps sometimes, too.

Rosetta 2 handles this for free.  Parallels sub not required.

 

To install it via Terminal (or find out if it is already installed):

 

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

Yes. Install Rosetta 2. The install will work great

Heh, that's on the Top of my old M-series installation guide, but I think your coding may bypass the need to click prompts.
