Guild Wars Client for Mac

[Heyzus]

Hi,

I'm having some problems installing GW on my mac. I downloaded the client no problem but then when i try to install the application i get the following message: "ERROR! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume. This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file."

I have just switched from PC to Mac and i am a new user so i am unsure if this is a problem with my Mac setting sor what, but if anyone knows how to fix this i would appreciate and help.

Make sure to drag the application to the applications folder before running.

The primary difference between 1.4 and 1.5 would have to be the wine version, so ultimately it really depends on what works better for your system.

On my Mac versions before 1.5 are not working.

Now new version 1.7.

new engine: WS8WineCXG10.3.0

Then I will explain step by step how to install.

If that does not work, repair your permissions (google!)

New Versions are out.

Updated everything to the latest versions. Also created two different version for this release, one is Crossover Games oriented, which some people have requested. The other is an updated version of the wine I have been using. Use whatever works better for you.

I have not played for two years due to my switch to mac. Now I just came here all of a sudden and found this thread. Big thank you!

Anyone else having problems with this?
I've tried every version, even done the -image command to download all of the content before playing, and every time I run the game, the login screen and character selection screen work fine, but the second I get into the game, it lags like crazy and then crashes my whole machine..which is more than capable of running this (play Gw2 on med settings).
I have GW working fine on my windows partition, but having it on my mac would make it a lot easier, any help is appreciated. (I've tried using a combination of graphic settings, even running everything low and turned off and it still crashes, meaning I have to turn my mac off using the power key...)

why not try crossover games? It works great with playing gw on mac.
