Title: OpenXcom milestone on Mac
Post by: The-Motboy on December 05, 2017, 01:17:12 pm

Hi all,

So, I own the xcom games on steam but as I am on a mac I cannot download them.

I need the files so I am able to play the milestone on my mac.

Does anyone have any workaround or advice that can help me?

Thanks,

Tom

Good luck

1. Is it a modern x86 Mac or something ancient? If modern, you can install WINE or Crossover and download any Windows-only games. Wine is free. Steam client works fine most of the time, even if the games don't.

2. You can run Windows in a virtual machine.

When I installed OpenXcom (actually OXCE+ but it's thr same) on my Mac, I just uploaded the necessary files from Windows/Steam into a Google drive as ZIP and then downloaded them into my Mac from Google drive.
