TEW16 on Mac OSX Tutorial (Wine)

[Sorin]

Thanks for the reply Alex - I figured it was something to do with drivers not quite lining up. Fingers crossed for a fix with a wine update!

Can someone help me and tell me how to unlicence when using a mac? I don't get it <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I have never tried this so I'm not sure if it'll work, but theoretically you should be able to right click on TEW 2016 and click "Show Package Contents". Open up the Wineskin app inside that and then click "Advanced". There should be a field that says "EXE Flags" where you can unlicense it.

Same issue for me, would love a remedy of some sort.

<p>Edit: I figured out how to unlicense on mac using wineskin. Here's the steps for anyone who can't figure it out.</p><p> </p><p>

1. Go to the Wineskin TEW 2016 shortcut that you use to play the game.</p><p>

2. Right click -> show package contents -> drive c -> program files -> GDS -> TEW 2016</p><p>

3. Duplicate the TEW2016.exe</p><p>

4. On the Duplicated version rename it "TEW2016.exe -unlicense"</p><p>

5. Right click on that duplicated version and 'Make Alias'</p><p>

6. Drag that alias to the desktop</p><p>

7. Once it's on the desktop (or just in a different folder than the original) rename the alias to "TEW2016.exe -unlicense"</p><p>

8. Drag that alias from the desktop to the Wineskin shortcut that you normally use to play the game. Doing so will temporarily change the .exe file that it opens to be the file which you dragged onto it (in this case the TEW 2016.exe -unlicense).</p><p>

9. TEW will open and ask you if you want to unlicense just like on the PC.</p><p> </p><p>

Et voila. You probably don't need to do the duplicating bit but it's a safety measure in case you mess up a file path when unlicensing. I'm going to relicense to my mac at a later time.</p>

Drag and play

 

I'm having to drag TEW.exe to the premade Wine Wrapper. I cannot locate program files on my early 2015 Mac no matter how many times I've tried the install. I gave up and just placed it on my desktop. It was driving me batty. Anyway, does anyone know if there's a way to bypass the dragging and merging of icons and get back to the basics of just double clicking TEW.exe in order to play? Also, a cosmetic loss that I'm experiencing is no more icon for the TEW2016 game itself. I was under the impression that it'd become an app basically after I installed it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. But thanks for sending me into the right direction of viewing the game on my MacBook Pro. Thank you!

<p>Help me guys</p><p> </p><p>

I'm trying to run TEW 2016 on my 11inch Macbook air and I can't get it to run and get the minimum screen resolution message (even though I manage to get the screen resolution right) please help!</p>

[Hassan]

<p>Ive now used this method for both TEW and WMMA4 and it works great</p><p> </p><p>

But when I go to install a mod for WMMA4, it says I must make sure im in admin mode, how do I do this on the Mac?</p><p> </p><p>

Posting it here due to the greater traffic, sure the principles will be the same</p><p> </p><p>

Cheers</p>

Hi! I used your tutorial and it was great and easy to make the game work.

 

I am facing now an issue with the workers´pictures. When I click to change their picture from the profile, the game freezes. Just stops working, no error window, no crash, nothing. Just freeze. I have tried every database and check if I have more than 32,000 pictures (I don´t) and I have the same problem every time.

 

I am not sure if this started with the Sierra upgrade, but it is around that date for sure.

 

Has anyone suffer this? And more important, has anyone solve it?

 

Thank you!!

[Beast9885]

Anyone have any success using Wineskin with the new OS Sierra?

 

I used this process, found that it worked and was about to purchase TEW 2016, but literally minutes later updated my OS and now I can't get wineskin to work with the TEW files.

 

But at least I have Siri on my computer now which I'm never going to use....

[d12345]

If you hop on the Wineskin forums you'll see them mention issues with updating to the new Mac OS and using old wineskins/wrappers/etc..

 

I have no plans on upgrading for this specific reason.

 

But if you are good with wineskin you can try to make a wrapper for it that works with the new OS maybe

<p>THIS WORKED AMAZING!</p><p> </p><p>

One question... Does anyone else have any issues with not being able to change worker photos? It errors out through wine, and closes me out.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I seem to have figured out an resolution, change the engine used to WS9Wine1.9.10</p><p> </p><p>

This has worked thus far. Hopefully I don't run into any other issues.</p>

[JimmyStyles]

<p>No new executables found!</p><p> </p><p>

Maybe the installer failed...?</p><p> </p><p>

If you tried to install somewhere other than C: drive (drive_c in the wrapper) then you will get this message too. All software must be installed in C: drive.</p><p> </p><p>

I keep getting this overtime I click choose setup .exe</p>

[HumbaBumba]

<p>I'm having trouble installing mods. When I create a database, the database appears in the game. However, when I quit the program to move the TEW2013.mbd file to the appropriate folder, then re-load the game, I get the error message: </p><p> </p><p>

"Warning! Connection to C:\Program\Files\GDS\TEW2016\databases\2014\TEW2016.mbd has failed (Not a valid password.). The program must now close."</p><p> </p><p>

Any advice?</p>

[junkstuff1111]

I'm sure this is user error, as I've never really used a Mac before, but I've failed to even install the Wrapper from Method 2. I got it unzipped but when I try to install it, it tells me I can't copy or move a folder because I either don't have permissions or there's already a file with the same name in the Wrapper's program files folder. I adjusted the permissions via Finder, but that hasn't worked.

 

Thank you for your hard work on this! Can't wait to be able to play TEW again!

[timthemusicman]

So i keep getting to the point where it installs but then i dont know how to acutally launch the game...
