figured it all out installing wmma now! thank you brother hopefully tew 2013 works with this, hate using my old laptop again thank you!

 

This is the exact problem I am running into. If anyone knows the fix let me know, can't be too difficult.

 

 

And yes, I've tried them in the DOS prompt and still get nothing. Not sure about popup blocker.

 

 

LOL I may be talking to myself, but I got it up and running! no idea how, but whatever.

 

 

MY NEW PROBLEM is I cannot figure out how to install the patch or any mods. I have downloaded the most recent patch, I copy it but the File manager in Wine does not allow me to paste? I'm sure I am missing something simple here. I'm so frustrated lol

<p>Hey guys,</p><p> </p><p>

I am trying to install patches and mods onto the game through wine on mac. </p><p> </p><p>

Thanks to this guide I have managed to get the game working. </p><p> </p><p>

That said I still cannot patch (am playing version 1.0) and cant get MW6 to work either. </p><p> </p><p>

1. I have tried swapping the files (exe and database/picture etc) </p><p>

2. I have added new databases through the game however the files do not appear</p><p> </p><p>

When I try to install the patch it just installs without the game. I don't know how to install it into the game. </p><p> </p><p>

I know its possible and I am sure that I will get it working. </p><p> </p><p>

Really struggling would appreciate some help.</p>

It will ask if you want to replace the current one, say yes.</p><p> </p><p> Databases</p><p> 1) First you need to install your database from the forums.</p><p> 2) Then you need to open the game and go to the editor. From here click on create database and follow the given steps (ie. naming the database folder)</p><p> 3) Go to downloads in finder and copy your database/picture files. Paste them (and replace the old files) in the folder that you named earlier.</p><p> </p><p> If you are still having issues try and let me know what steps you're struggling with so I can get a better sense of where the problem may be.</p>

Hey mate,

 

This is the problem.

 

I have replaced the patch and it doesn't make a difference. without the patch the database wont work. I think when I get the game patched I will be fine!

 

Thanks for your help hope there are alternative solutions!

Id recommend asking Adam for patch help in the Tech Support Thread if you're having difficulty getting it to work.

<p>Im having difficulty getting this working, having had TEW working through Wine on a previous MacBook.</p><p> </p><p>

Hopefully someone can help.</p><p> </p><p>

When I install Wine and go through the stages and try to install ie6 and the rest, the pages aren't opening up that did the last time, where it looked like a windows set up and you run through it and it installs. This time, it just says winetricks applied succesfully. Is this working, or should I be getting the Windows screen to run through it?</p><p> </p><p>

Then, after the 4 are installed, how do you choose to use the exe file?</p><p> </p><p>

I am trying to get the demo working and if I do I will buy the full game, as I'd just be able to change the exe file to the full game right?</p>
