Posted by Manga,

Note:  Since the FAQ is linked here, I'm modifying this post very late in order to keep the latest info here.   There are TWO ways to install City of Heroes Homecoming on your Mac:   1.  The preferred way is to download the LaunchCat (which uses the Homecoming Launcher) here: https://launchcat.powermadsoftware.com/launchcat.zip.   2.  An alternate way is to download Island Rum for Mac, here:https://launchcat.powermadsoftware.com/islandrum-mac.zip.   Both p

for Mac users

Posted by Manga,

All 3 of you (and anyone else having trouble) follow these steps:   1.  Type "brew remove wine" in Terminal   2.  Type "rm -R ~/.wine" in Terminal, and type it very carefully.   3.  Move any copies of "CoH.app" or "City of Heroes.app" out of the Applications folder (skip this step if you want to use Wineskin or Cider).   4.  Download this beta: https://telstar.eekstudio.com/islandrum-mac-beta.zip   5.  This is where it forks a bit...

Make sure you're using the correct manifest: http://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml

confirmed I am using this manifest and not being given these options.  on Win10, not MAC

 

never mind, total user error.  blaming lack of coffee.  for some reason, I was expecting to be "asked" which version to use.  seeing the options at the top left of the login screen, duh 😏

Hi, my Mac is old (version 10.11.16) but I tried to install Homebrew (just in case...), indeed it did not work.

I can play now only with the Homecoming safe mode and I really hope you will be able to find a solution. Thanks for the help (and the good work)

Is Windows 7 considered modern?

Because there is a city in the Midwest that is continually threatened by a silver backed gorilla and is protected by a man who can run faster than the speed of light.

Joshizfly,

 

Once I re-did the shim I was able to Get the first homecoming one and the HC Beta Safe one working. I thought I had lost all my characters lol.

I've plugged the Homebrew code into my mac os terminal and it's asking for a password at the bottom.

Enter your Mac’s password.

Island Rum updated fine, 64-bit client option was a bit greyed out. After reading the post here I installed Wine with Homebrew and started up Island Rum again.

Worked just fine now with the 64-bit client. Tested on both my Macbook Pro laptops (2018 and 2013 models) which runs Mojave and it worked great!

No problems so far.

 

Thank you very much for this update!

This is hopeful. I’ve done all of the above but when I try to launch the game from Island Rum (also a MBP running Mojave), IR just quits and doesn’t load CoH. Not sure what I’ve missed.

I don't seem to be able to use my right shift key as a modifier in the keybinding anymore? I use the numpad keys 0-9 bound to tray 1 and rshift+numpad keys bound to tray 2. Please tell me this isn't permanent?

We will look into this. Please use the Safe Mode client for now until we can work on this more.

Any chance the Roleplayer tag color could be brightened or lightened up some?  That purple shade is a bit dark and hard to read at times, something a little lighter or closer to a pastel would be more eye-friendly and pop better against the game's environments.

Thanks. I'll give that a go. I've used the same control layout forever, the idea of changing brings me out in a cold sweat!

Same for me -- I use RSHIFT for Sprint/Super Speed.  No longer recognised in either 64- or 32-bit versions.

Just to add, that's RSHIFT on its own for me that's not being seen, not even as a modifier.

 

Funnily enough, the chat engine does still recognise both L and R Shift for capitalising letters.

So, with the new client ... is it a different install?  Do I just pick  the (64 Bit) line before pressing Play, or is there anything else I need to do to make sure I'm using that, and not the old 32-bit client?

Nope, just pick it.  Unless your computer is super old and not running 64-bit Windows. 😉

You have to run it from an account that's an administrator.
