HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[Duncanator583]

My wineskin wrapper has worked smoothly for over a year now. and all of a sudden yesterday it stopped opening when I click on it. Just nothing happens.

When I go in and try the suggested work around of, turning off Auto Detect GPU and updating Winetricks. Winetricks tells me it is unable to connect to the website. Anyone else having this issue, or have another solution?

Thanks!

I've noticed my wine wrapper often dies. Just stops working. can be random, however i've noticed if i go LD or the wrapper crashers, it often will never work again.

My solution has been to keep a master wrapper, and duplicate it. I only ever play the duplicated files (you can do this be right click -> duplicate).

I've never found a way to stop this from happening in like 7 years or so.

macOS 10.13.6

Weird! ok thanks!

I'll try rebuilding my wrapper then and keep a master copy, thanks for the advice!

Yup, sometimes it'll last a year. Other times twice in one night. I've gotten into the habit now. Oddly enough, my master one was made in like 2012.....

Good luck, I still haven't quite figured out how to copy my UI/settings around properly, sometimes I'm looking at an older, slightly different UI setup. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You didn't happen to do an update? (Assuming you are on mac)

[Duncanator583]

Negative.

Macbook is from 2012 so can't handle updates....

Currently running High Sierra

I'm sure a lot of people have already considered it - but Bootcamp was an easier option for me. Not perfect, but I have it running without too much issue

Anyone else on M1 using Parallels encountering this reddish tint to certain environments? EC tunnel being a huge one

Hello,

I have no experience with Wineskin or anything, I downloaded it and when I opened it, it shows a small box showing an empty list named "Installed Engines" and then below that it says "Wrapper version" but there is nothing installed, it also is showing a button where I can download packages manually. I have been clicking around and there are many threads talking about wrappers and such but I do not know how to go about using these to get the game to run.

After downloading Wineskin, what are my next steps to get the game installed?
