I personally haven't experienced this. It may be an issue with the game or it may be with Wineskin it's hard to tell. If you want to rule out that it's a problem with Wineskin you can create a brand new wrapper and copy your savegames across, to see if that helps.

The recommended way on Macs is to create one Wineskin wrapper per application. So if you're looking to do TEW 20 you'd create a blank wineskin wrapper from scratch, and it won't affect your EWR wrapper. For versions older than Catalina, the tutorial on the 2016 forums should work (just make sure to use the latest versions of Wineskin and the engine).

Sorry if this is a dumb question but when you say you tried adjusting your resolution do you mean the scaling in system preferences. For the 13” the final “more space” option should work for TEW.

What mac are you using. The model and year would be really useful (e.g. 13 inch 2015).

Derek’s way is probably the safest for sure. However I just ran the demo-full version installer .EXE using the “Install Software” option in the wrapper and that did work.

Yeah sorry I’m running on Catalina, and I can’t reproduce this. The only suggestion I’d have is the make sure you’re using the latest version of the wineskin engine and wrapper. You can update on the Wineskin Winery app. Also, if you’re able to move to Catalina at some point, you’d probably have more luck.

Yeah the pre-made wrapper from 2016 is quite out of date so I suspect that won't even work on older versions of MacOS. What Mac and MacOS version are you running? If I can, I'll try to create a pre-made wrapper for you - just we'll have to be on the same version for it to work properly

This is a good point. I'm planning on editing the original post with some alternate options and the pros and cons of each methods so I'll add this as one.

My guess is one of the dependencies wouldn’t have instilled properly. It might be good to create a blank new wrapper and install the dependencies again. The most likely candidate is wine-gecko, so keep an eye on that.

I would disagree with that. SIP is a fairly useful layer of protection but Macs existed for decades without it and things were fine. I certainly wouldn’t liken it to brakes in a car! However yes if you’re uncomfortable doing it by all means use another method. I personally don’t like virtualisation as I don’t want the overhead associated with running an entire OS for one app. Wine works faster and uses less resources and to me that’s more important. If you’d rather an extra layer of integrity that SIP offers then it’s totally understandable.

What are you doing for this error to show up? Like what exactly are you clicking on to open? Regardless, find the wrapper in Finder, right click and click Show Package Contents. Open “Wineskin” and click advanced. Check the startup .exe is TEW2020. Once that’s sorted go back to the wrapper in Finder and double click it as if you’re opening any other Mac app.

No worries man! You’d start from the “Download Wine Engines” step, however as you’ve already updated the engine and wrapper version, you can just open Unofficial Wineskin Winery” and “Create new blank Wrapper”

If you run into any problems or need some help I’d suggest replying to this thread rather than a DM, just so others who may run into the same problems can see the potential fix

Wow

Hey guys, Following on from posts I have made in previous years, here is a tutorial for TEW20 on Mac OSX. Now, versions prior to MacOS Catalina (High Sierra, Mavericks etc.) will probably still work with the old method (link) If you're on Catalina you'll probably know that Apple has stopped support for 32-bit apps which has made the process quite a bit harder. But some smart people have released some cool projects, and after countless hours I finally managed to get TEW20 running on Mac. The install process will take between 30-60 minutes depending on your system. Important Notes - Check your Mac Os version by clicking on the Apple Symbol > About This Mac. The newest version of Catalina (10.15.4) has an extra step that older version (10.15.3, 10.15.2 etc.) don't have. - Please make a new wrapper for TEW 2020 and don't share it with another GDS game. This may corrupt some files and won't work. Before you start download the TEW Trial exe from GDS. STEPS - Diable SIP The patches to Wineskin to allow it to work on Catalina are community driven and as such are not "signed" by Apple - as this costs money. Apple doesn't allow unsigned code to run by default, so you need to disable SIP to allow it to run. To do this: 0. Please know the exact version of Catalina you are using 1. Restart your Mac 2. When your Mac is booting hold CMD+R to enter recovery mode 3. Login to your main user 4. Click utilities in the title bar and click "Terminal". Type the following commands csrutil disable After you enter that a success message will show Now IF you are on a version of Catalina that is 10.15.4 or later, there is an extra step here. Type the following command into the terminal. nvram boot-args="no32exec=0" There will be no success message, if there's no error you are fine. Download wineskin The hardest part is now done, the rest is quite similar to previous methods. Download the "Unofficial Wineskin Winery" from the link below. This is a community patched version that will work on Catalina. https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer/releases The most recent stable version is V1.8.4 please download this. You want to download the file named: Unofficial.Wineskin.Winery.zip Unzip the app, and put it in /Users/<yourusername>/Applications (It is recommnded to put it here over the regular Applications folder) Download Wine Engines It is super important to download the right file here so double check carefully. Open the Unofficial Wineskin Winery app. You need to download a new engine. Click the "+" button next to the "New Engines Available" prompt. Scroll right to the bottom. The engine you need to download is "WS11WineCX64Bit19.0.1". Double and triple check this. Download it. Once that's installed, update your wrapper version using the button in the same app. The current version is Wineskin-2.9.0.6. If you already have this, you're fine. After both updates click "Create New Wrapper" and name it TEW 2020. A prompt should show up to install something called Gecko. Accept that and install it. It is a required dependency. If no prompt came up, there are manual instructions at the bottom of this tutorial. DO THIS BEFORE CONTINUING. Install dependencies Go to /Users/<yourusername>/Applications/Wineskin in finder. Find the wrapper (TEW 2020) right click on it, and choose "Show Package Contents". In here there is an App called Wineskin - open that. Click "Advanced", then go to "Tools" in the menu. Click "Winetricks". There are 4 things to install. Please do these in order. Search for them in the bar and click "Run". - vb6run - jet40 - native_oleaut32 - allfonts (put the kettle on, this takes 5-10 mins). Install TEW 2020 Now the fun part. Close winetricks and click on "Install Software" at the bottom. Find your TEW2020_Trial.exe and select that. The installer will show up. Install TEW as normal. Once it's done you will be asked to choose the startup EXE. Make sure you choose TEW2020.exe and not UNWISE.exe. You can now click "Test Run" in Wineskin to make sure it's working. The app should boot to the menu. If you've gotten here congrats!! You're done. Tips: - To run the app, just navigate to /Users/<username>/Application/Wineskin and double click the TEW2020 wrapper. - To install mods, right click on the wrapper and choose "Show Package Contents". There is a folder called "drive_c" which mimmicks the Windows file system. Go to drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GDS/TEW2020 and install mods like usual Manual Gecko Install Only do this if you weren't prompted during creation of the wrapper. Refer here: http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-index.php?page=How+do+I+install+Gecko+in+the+Official+WineHQ+way Basically download the latests Wine Gecko file from Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Wine%20Gecko/ At the time of writing this is 2.40 The file to download is named: wine_gecko-2.40-x86_64.msi Find your wrapper in finder (again /Users/<username>/Applications/Wineskin). Right Click, and show package contents. Click into Contents > Frameworks and find "wswine.bundle". Right click this file and go "Show package contents" Click "share" / "wine". Make a folder named "gecko" (lowecase). Copy the .msi you donwloaded into here. Now go back to the wrapper (/Users/<username>/Applications/Wineskin) and again Show Package Contents. Click on the wineskin app. Click "Advanced" and choose "Tools" from the top. Click "refresh wrapper". This will install gecko without prompting. To check the installation was successful, go to "drive_c/windows/system32/gecko". If that folder exists your good to go.

I’m curious as to what button functions aren’t working? Did you try the OVSBooleanControls.ocx fix in the tutorial thread? I know buttons have problems without that fix
