Groovelle Midnight Runners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Subscribers Posts: 762 Joined: Jul 15, 2009 What happens when you try to run it/what error are you getting? You may have to play around with the Wine version, and you may have to install a separate version of steam in playonmac. Sometimes I've had to use a way older version of Wine to run an older game. Honestly, if you jonesed bad enough, you can buy almost any old thinkpad (think $150 - $200) and throw on a free linux to play. Darkwind actually works better on Linux than Windows, across a few different linux distros (Mint and Manjaro). If you go the linux route Manjaro is decidedly simply, but I hear Mint may be simpler. For amount of software that works with turning on the AUR, or community repositories, I pick Manjaro (easy Arch) all day. ......................... vet wv0,2,0 Posted Jul 19, 2024, 8:34 pm

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,605 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 Okay - will keep that in mind! Just got in off the road and the win7 iso d/l was SUPER fast - so I'm installing that via UTM for Mac and we'll see what happens... Hopefully my next post will be from it. :-) ......................... vet marshal deathrceL1 wv community combatL1 Posted Jul 20, 2024, 1:26 am

I'm copying over the d/l darkwind complete folder - taking a while - but hopefully it will run! ......................... vet marshal deathrceL1 wv community combatL1 Posted Jul 20, 2024, 2:10 am

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,605 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 well that didn't last long... I found an old MacBook Air - had to find a cable for it... Can't get the site to load in the browser (bad gateway) but I can get it on my main machine, then play on that one... just launched an SS scout now... ......................... vet marshal deathrceL1 wv community combatL1 Posted Jul 20, 2024, 3:04 am

Groovelle Midnight Runners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Subscribers Posts: 762 Joined: Jul 15, 2009 Was it a 502 bad gateway? Check if the Macbook Air is headed to the https site, and clear the cookies for that site, then try again. I believe a 502 Bad Gateway isn't your computer's fault. ......................... vet wv0,2,0 Posted Jul 22, 2024, 8:17 pm
