dubiousintent Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) You are mixing apples and oranges here. XCOM for the Mac (ported by Feral Interactive), and the LW mod for it, are designed to run under OS/X (i.e. Linux), not WINE. If you are going to use WINE then you need to treat everything as a Windows program and use Windows versions of mods. You should look in the "forum section" of the "Long War" download page to see if there is anything about LW under WINE. (I can't recall any, but I don't track it's progress anymore since the forum restructure. The LW devs handle it there.) None of the LW developers have a Mac, but some do use Linux. If anyone can help, they will be there. That is also where I would ask about the advantages of OS/X versus WINE. Regardless of which way you go, you need to follow the instructions of the "Basic Guide to installing mods" in getting your system ready for XCOM. But bear in mind that it's instructions for the Mac are for OS/X. With WINE you just act as if you were using Windows. -Dubious- Edited September 7, 2015 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
