FOnline: 2238 under MAC OS X
Teri_Jane:
I play for about a week. Since today, only at home, because in my workplace we work on Macs. I was looking for a way to launch the game on my Mac, but everyone said its impossible. Of course, I could install Windows on my machine, but I have to have my OS X open all the time, because my boss likes to check what we are doing, from time to time.
After long, long search i finally found a way to play on my Mac in OS X, so I want to share it with other Mac users. Hope it works for you too.
(I'm on an Intel machine, so probably it may not work on PowerPC machines. But it never hurts to check.)
1.
--- Code: ---http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
--- End code ---
This is an application which enables Windows programs to run in OS X. You have to get the app, one way or another. Install the application and run it.
2. Download FOnline client, and run it. Since you have CrossOver installed and running, it should automatically detect Windows app. Install FOnline (installer will look exactly the same as in Windows).
3. Finder window will probably pop up with the Launcher.exe. If the Launcher works for you - great. But it didn't work for me. If you have problems launching Launcher - like me - go to folder where FOnline is installed.
4. Launch Updater.exe. If it works for you - great. But it didn't work for me. If your Updater won't work - copy FOnline folder to a pendrive and find someone with PC. Updater.exe should work well on Windows :) Update your game and go back to a Mac. Copy FOnline folder to the same place you've installed it.
5. Launch FOnline.exe.
Now this worked for me, I am playing FOnline on my Mac, in OS X. I can easily hide my window if i see my boss :D
If you need to configure your FO and the launcher won't work, you can launch FOConfig.exe - of course with CrossOver running.
Since I'm not a Mac Expert - I cannot help you much if this way won't work for you. But if it works - great, see you in the Wastelands :)

Thanks! Sticky :P

CrossOver is commercial and somewhat upgraded Wine, so if you want to save some money, you can try just Wine:

Since Wine refused to work for me - I used CrossOver, you can find older versions cheap and still will do.
