Mac Support

[swiller]

I would preorder if a mac version is in development at some point? I can play Windows on the desktop for now, but I would love to play on my MacBook. All their other titles made it over. I even played the first Heist on my iPad.

Thirding wanting Mac support; I played and still replay the original on Mac, it's disappointing that it's not been mentioned yet. Meanwhile the original's being remade again for Switch this time.

No mac version, the first part is 10 times cheaper with mac version...sad

I'd second a MAC version!

Sign me up for Mac as well!

[Mercotroll]

We need mac support!! I was so excited to play this, and went to buy it and was so disappointed...

Would love to see mac version also. I had some hope for one since the first on is Mac compatible. Sad to see they dropped it.

Thanks everyone. It's definitely something I can go to the team with and make as a suggestion, but I cannot sadly make any promises that it will be implemented.

Nice! Looking forward to your decision!

+1 for a Mac version

I've been playing this on my M1 Pro with Wineskin Winery, and it works almost perfectly. The cutscenes don't play correctly, but everything else seems totally normal.

It's not exactly easy , but I'm not an expert in Wine at all, and I got it working in about 15 minutes. Here's what I did:

1. Install Wineskin Winery. Open up Terminal and run this:

 brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wineskin 

Instructions from this github page: https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer#homebrew

2. Open Wineskin Winery, and you should see a simple UI with a blank list of "Installed Engines". Click the + button and a list of engines should come up. I just chose the one at the top of the list (WS11WineCX64Bit23.6.0_D3DMetal-v1.1). I assume you can try different engines if the first one you try doesn't work.

3. Click "Download and Install" and then wait for it to finish.

4. Click "Create New Blank Wrapper", name your wrapper whatever you want (I used "WindowsSteam.app"), and then click OK and wait for it to finish. For me it took several minutes minutes. It's normal for your cursor to beachball while it's working.

5. While you're waiting for the wrapper to install go to the Steam homepage and click "Install Steam". Instead of downloading the default Mac version, click the small Windows icon. It should download SteamSetup.exe.

6. Once your wrapper app is finally created it, find it and open it. Click "Install Software" then "Choose Setup Executable". Find and select SteamSetup.exe.

7. It should open the Steam installer. Just install with all the default options. At the end of the setup, it will ask you whether you want to run Steam. I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I unchecked that box and finished the installation.

8. When it's done installing, it should ask you what executable to run. Choose Steam.exe.

9. Quit wineskin and then open your new app (e.g. "WindowsSteam.app"). It should open the normal Steam UI. For me everything works totally normally except the Friends & Chat popup.

10. Open your library and install the game normally (or whatever other game you want).

I've been doing this for a while, and it works almost flawlessly for simple 2D strategy games like this. I assume you could buy the game, try it out, and refund if it doesn't work well for you.

^ this didn't work for me (though I do successfully play other windows games), getting "could not determine a suitable graphics adapter". I'll try to figure this out but will probably have to refund :(
