ET on a Mac hasn't been the easiest to get going for a while, so I thought I'd pull a tutorial together in case anyone does want to get ET up and running on a Mac Current Issues Official ET install: The official install of Enemy Territory has been incompatible with Mac since OSX Mavericks, as Apple removed support for certain key functions that are required. It is not possible to run the official ET install on Mac on Mavericks or later. ET Legacy: ET Legacy will no longer run on OSX since Catalina, as Apple removed support for 32 bit applications. Prior to this, ET Legacy for Mac was incompatible with many mods including SilEnT. Should a 64 bit version be released in future, this will work, but will not be compatible with mods other than Legacy Wine could previously be used to run Windows applications on Mac. This is also no longer an options as Catalina's removal of 32 bit support also put an end to this method. The Solution Fortunately there is a workaround using Play On Mac, and some tweaks to enable mouse support to work properly. Install Play on Mac + Download ET Legacy 1) Download and install Play in Mac from here: https://www.playonmac.com/en/ 2) Download the Windows* version of ET Legacy from here (do NOT install it yet): https://www.etlegacy.com/download *Do NOT download the Mac version. It will not work. Install ET Legacy 1) Open Play on Mac and click "Add" 2) Select "Install a non listed application" 3) Locate the ET Legacy file you downloaded and click next. 4) Follow the prompts and ET Legacy will install as if you're on a Windows PC Fix Mouse Issues Mouse behaviour will be very erratic and unusable. To fix, carry out the following; 1) Click the Apple logo, then System Preferences 2) Select Security and Privacy 3) Select Accessibility 4) Click the padlock icon and enter your admin password 5) Tick Play on Mac in the list to allow accessibility access. Launch the Game To Launch ET, open Play on Mac, select ET from the list, and click run. Notes - You can complete the above and use the ET 2.60b official installer. However, this seems to have performance issues. PunkBuster will also not run under Play on Mac so you will be kicked from any PB enabled servers. - ET Legacy does not include PunkBuster, so you cannot play on any PB enabled servers. - ET Legacy is incompatible with ET Pro, as the mod will only allow clients to connect from the official 2.6b installation. - FPS performance is lower than a native application. As ET is a very old game however, it shouldn't have any major performance issues on a modern install.* *I have tested this on an early 2013 non-retina Macbook Pro and FPS runs around 60-70 when uncapped. The native ET client ran at around 100-125 FPS when it was still compatible.

Hey all. Anybody got an idea why i can run older silent mods on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard but game crash on silent 0.9.0 on any server i connect to? (Silent 0.8.2 runs fine) About the same happens when i try to connect to ET Pro servers. Shouldn't all mods be compatible to this version of OSX? (I'm running this old system since on newer systems like El Capitan i would have to use ET Legacy afaik and there i have the same problems on even more mods and bad fps and no punkbuster support) Here some error message logs, though i think those are pretty common/random and occur on different problems so might not tell me much about the actual problem. -> When the game crashs I get the error message: VM create on UI failed -> Wolfenstein console log brings up nothing but: logfile opened on Mon Jun 12 13:22:15 2017 Sys_ShutdownNetworking(); -> my console system.log sometimes says this: com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[129] ([0x0-0x4f04f].com.activision.rtcw_et[481]) Job appears to have crashed: Bus error -> Wolfenstein crashlog shows (excerpt - showing the most important lines i think): Process: Wolfenstein ET [699] Path: /Applications/Wolfenstein ET/Wolfenstein ET.app/Contents/MacOS/Wolfenstein ET Identifier: com.activision.rtcw_et Version: 2.60b4 (2.60b4) Code Type: X86 (Native) Parent Process: launchd [129] Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000 Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Thread 0 Crashed: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread 0 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x000e3e12 0x1000 + 929298 1 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x0007a5b5 0x1000 + 497077 2 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x00052cbf 0x1000 + 335039 3 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x0004208b 0x1000 + 266379 4 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x000427bc 0x1000 + 268220 5 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x00055bf7 0x1000 + 347127 6 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x000566b8 0x1000 + 349880 7 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x000404e0 0x1000 + 259296 8 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x0007b5a4 0x1000 + 501156 9 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x0007b67e 0x1000 + 501374 10 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x000e4e76 0x1000 + 933494 11 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x955e8a3b __CFRunLoopRun + 8059 12 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x955e63c4 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 452 13 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x955e61f1 CFRunLoopRunInMode + 97 14 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x9458ce04 RunCurrentEventLoopInMode + 392 15 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x9458cbb9 ReceiveNextEventCommon + 354 16 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x94715084 _AcquireNextEvent + 54 17 com.apple.HIToolbox 0x9470ad40 RunApplicationEventLoop + 228 18 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x000e3cc2 0x1000 + 928962 19 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x00002456 0x1000 + 5206 20 com.activision.rtcw_et 0x0000237d 0x1000 + 4989 Thread 0 crashed with X86 Thread State (32-bit): eax: 0x00000000 ebx: 0x00110ebc ecx: 0x97537c47 edx: 0x00000008 edi: 0xbfff63a8 esi: 0x00000000 ebp: 0xbfff5348 esp: 0xbfff4e00 ss: 0x0000001f efl: 0x00010216 eip: 0x000e3e12 cs: 0x00000017 ds: 0x0000001f es: 0x0000001f fs: 0x00000000 gs: 0x00000037 cr2: 0x00000000 Thanks in advance for any help or ideas on solving this issue
