9times13: Hello GOG Community!

I'm a long-time member and first-time poster. Hoping someone might be able to help me.

I downloaded Temple of Elemental Evil (one of my faves) and it won't launch for me! The first message I got was basically "Apple doesn't recognize this developer - no run". I went into system prefs -> security, and there was a button there that said "run ToEE anyway", so I clicked it. Now, whenever I double-click the game icon, it bounces in the typical mac-app-opening way, but then nothing happens! My system log says something about "SIGkill" for every attempt. I don't know what to do. Please help.

Thanks,

Mr.Mumbles: ToEE's Mac version is a non-native, Wine-wrapped Windows game. New Macs only support 64bit apps, and both the original game and the Wine wrapper are 32bit.

As stated at the bottom of the game page's system reqs: "Mac notice: The game is 32-bit only and will not work on macOS 10.15 and up."

eric5h5: You can buy Crossover, since they managed to get 32-bit Windows apps to run in macOS 10.15. Then download the Windows version from GOG (probably easier than extracting it from the Mac Wine wrapper) and run that using Crossover.

rampancy: ^ This.

For a lot of games on GOG, the Mac version is really just the Windows version packaged in a wrapper using WINE. As eric5h5 said, it's worth getting CrossOver (a commercial version of WINE) to run it.

nightcraw1er.488: Ditch the Mac and buy a PC is the simple answer. Can’t understand why anyone would want to buy them (except hipster architects). iPads, iPhones, ok, but a Mac??
