Support
Post here if you need help with the macOS download from https://warcraft2.online/downloads/
Hotkeys
[Option] + [Return] = Switch between windowed and fullscreen mode
[Command] + [Tab] = Unlock cursor
[Option] + [Fn] + [Down Arrow] = Maximize window
Note: these hotkeys only work in game, not in the battle.net lobby
Supported macOS versions
macOS Ventura 13.4.1
macOS Monterey 12.6.7
macOS Big Sur 11.7.8
macOS Catalina 10.15.7
It might work on newer macOS versions too. If not, post here and report the issues
-
Nice ;)
Might be worth adding a link to downloads page, to this thread.
-
Thanks a lot for making this Mac version! It was working great for the last 2 weeks and then suddenly seems to have stopped working with this new error message after the bnet login part:
"war2mod.dl file not found"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-
Oh lol so it seems like new update for auto download random maps
I tested it on windows and Linux Ubuntu it was ok, but seems like not working on Mac hhmmm
Need more testing but I not have Mac lol
So seems like it wasn't able to get file out from mpq, or it wasnt even able to copy it at all?
Do you have war2mod.mpq file spawn nearby in folder after join serv?
Maybe not had rights to write file in folder?
Check if u have this file
-
Hi Mistral,
The war2mod.mpq file is in the folder. I don't see permissions to write in the file/folder being blocked anywhere though. Anything else we can do to fix this?
-
I working on fix with fois now
-
ok we fixed
there was problem not exactly on mac but on HD version itself
wasnt able to get file out of mpq cuz was diff adress
-
I had to do some bigger changes to make it working with mistrals new update, I hope everything else is still working fine (Please let me know!)
Unfortunately everyone will have to redowload the app. I updated the links for the standard edition in the first post (Will reupload the full version soon too).
-
Wow cool the standard version works now. Thanks for fixing it so quick guys!
-
Super! I installed it. It works, but can't connect to multiplayer. Single player I can game, but when I try to connect to the server the app closes. I don't know anything about computers so ye...

are you using the latest version and not the "old version"?
What version of macos do you have?
-
I am surprised and impressed for the warcraft 2 combat community and developers. Still making breakthroughs and innovations to better reach all operating system users. Nice all for supporting MAC Users! :-* :peon: :thumbsup:

Hey,
I'm using my MacBook from 2017 and runs Ventura 13.6.1.
I downloaded the latest version I think. The one in your first post.
Really thank you! Even if it doesn't work big thx to all of you guys for making this game available :)
Grtz,

@JcNoob4Eva I could never reproduce your bug, but I updated the download now with the latest files, maybe it'll work now
Other updates:
Comes now with latest widescreen patch
Changed widescreen resolution to a 16:10 one (960x608)
Window size is now bigger (Option+Return to enable)
Fixed issues with the map preview in game room (it wasn't working sometimes)
-
Oh waw, I'll check it!
And post printscreens if something is going wrong.
-
It's working! Big up fois!

It's working! Big up fois!
nice :newthumbsup:

Installed the latest macOS version of the game. The game doesn't start. Nothing is happening when I launch it.
UPDATE:
It was due to faulty Wineskin configuration (logs showed 'you are not owning file' error). Created my own Wineskin app and now the game works.
-

What version of macOS do you have? You need at least Catalina (10.15) for it to work
-
macOS 14.6 Sonoma. It wasn't the problem. The problem was wrong Wineskin configuration of the app.
-
Ah, that'S strange. Normally such permissions errors only happen when you copy the .app around. That's why it was wrapped in a .pkg file to avoid such problems

Created a forum account just to say thank you @fois this macOS release is amazing! I wasn't able to play for many years because I switched to macOS. Now I can play again and it works better than Windows 10 install did 7 or 8 years ago. I love how it minimizes while in chat and fullscreens when in game but I can also do the keyboard shortcut to open Spotlight which unfocuses the mouse cursor then I can change my song on Spotify on the other screen etc.

Nice! Glad to hear it's working well for you! And yes, I tried a bit more modern setup here with borderless mode for easier task switching. On the windows install we couldn't do that, too many would complain about it because they don't like changes :D
BTW, I just updated the first post with some additional info about the macOS download (there are some useful hotkeys)

Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum. I have a MAC running High Sierra 13.10.6.
I downloaded and click on the new icon and it doesn't do anything.
I don't see this listed but saw people run newer versions without issue.
Any advice and help is appreciated.

Unfortunately High Sierra is not supported anymore. The tools I'm using dropped support for it some time ago.

Does it support latest MacOS Sequoia 15.1? just wanted to check before upgrading (currently works using 13.4.1)
