LODEELOLO Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Will TEW 2020 also be available for Mac users? I discovered TEW two years ago and had a blast with '05 until my computer had a disagreement with the Winetricks, so I have been TEW-less ever since.

TLLK Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Believe Adam has said it's just Windows. Most of the Mac users on here, including myself, has found that Parallels with a free (and legal) download of Windows is the way to go. It's practically flawless once you get it set up.

TeemuFoundation Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 You can play it on a Mac, but since Visual Basics is a Windows-based app, you're gonna need to run it through a Windows emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LODEELOLO Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Wow, those are speedy replies!! Thanks homies, much appreciated. Unfortunately though, I was doing some research in the meantime, and it seems that my case is a lost cause. I have Catalina, so Winetricks won't work because of some 32bit compatibility issues (I guess Wines are outdated for this processor), and the Parallels option is rather pricey. Once again, I appreciate the efforts to help, but the mods can feel free to delete/lock this topic as there isn't much left to be done here.

MegaCity1 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 <p>I'll swear by Crossover forever. I bit the bullet and purchased it to play TEW on my Mac. While I did not know how to get the program set up in Crossover, their Customer Service is excellent and one of their techs got it together for me and I was off and running.</p><p> </p><p> While it might seem pricey between getting one of these programs and TEW, I simply justified it as if I were buying a Collector's edition of a video game. It's all roughly the same price.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bombadil Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 When I had a Mac I partitioned it so I could run Windows. I'd like to pretend TEW wasn't the biggest reason, but it kinda was lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEW and WMMA are the only reasons mine is partitioned tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fvzzfvzzfvzz Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I got sucked into TEW2016 in the last few weeks because I saw some pals getting hyped for 2020. Long story short, I've installed Parallels on my Mac and TEW 2016 works flawlessly. Can confirm mods and everything work as they ought to as well.

JJArocho Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 If you have a Mac, use Boot Camp Assistant to make a Windows partition. Just create a 30-40 GB partition and either Win 7 or Win 8.1 will work fine. Windows, by itself, will use about 7 to 15 GB. Install it, use your license key and run the TEW installer. You'll thank us later. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need to buy a Windows licence as well for it to work? I read that a limited free version of Windows comes with Parallels but I don’t know if that’s enough to run the game.

TLLK Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Do you need to buy a Windows licence as well for it to work? I read that a limited free version of Windows comes with Parallels but I don’t know if that’s enough to run the game. From the thread about this in the 2016 forum... ——— https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO Get the Windows 10 ISO. You can download it now without needing a Windows computer. Before you had to download a media creation tool to download Windows 10. You'd use the tool to create a ISO for a disc or a bootable flash drive. This downloading the ISO directly is completely new. Windows 10 install through Parallels is flawless. Just skip the product key for Windows. You can use the full version of Windows without using a product key (with preferences and settings not able to be changed). Microsoft allows this on purpose. If they didn't want people to be able to test out the OS, they wouldn't allow you to bypass the product key in the first place or they'd lock the OS after a set amount of time, which they don't do. I own two different Windows computers in my house, which is how I had the ISO file originally. I just bought this MacBook in late October and I was scrambling to figure out the TEW fix due to Catalina. This isn't a real fix due to the price but its a really nifty program that runs flawlessly and allows you to do much more than TEW on a Mac. ——— Can confirm this way works for TEW. You just have to deal with the watermark, the “hey, license this” popups and no settings changes. If you’re just using Parallels to play TEW, installing it and using Parallels’ Coherence feature to play is super smooth. Can just create a link to your desktop or applications folder and, boom, the game pulls up in its own window like you’re running the game on Wine.

I’ve gotten Wine working for the game (we’ll 2016 at least but I don’t see it changing for 2020) on Catalina. I’ll post a walkthrough tomorrow when the demo comes out.

Did you try the OVSBooleanControls.ocx fix in the tutorial thread? I know buttons have problems without that fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
