Issues with Mac
« on: August 20, 2020, 05:04:42 am »
Is anyone else having issues with downloading this onto a Mac? I've looked at all the threads and followed them step by step to no avail.

Hi there, Amaranthe!

Personally I have no issues with downloading it onto my Mac. May I ask what tutorials you are following and what program you are using to install FH onto your Mac?

I was trying to use PlayOnMac and Wine but those seem to be outdated at the moment, so I've switched to Wineskin. Now the problem I have is I get a message saying "no new executables found". I really can't figure out what the best way of installing this game is as it's been 6 months and I'm getting no where

Have you downloaded the most recent PlayOnMac update? When Catalina was released FH wasn't able to work on PlaceOnMac, but they've updated their program recently to fix that issue.

I downloaded the latest version and when I open it says "Playonmac has encountered a fatal error and will now terminate".

 I've heard of that error before but it's not often it appears. Try downloading PlayOnMac again. It's a big file and if it hasn't downloaded completely, then it won't run properly.

I redownloaded and still get the same error message. Think it's time for me to give up haha.

Can you post a screenshot of the error message for me? Also what model of Mac are you using?

Is your Mac's system up to date with the latest OS version?
