Running WoW with Whisky on MacOS 14.2.1

[Esto]

Hi there.

I'm currently trying to set up one of my macs with the launcher from wow-mania.
Unfortunately I can't install wine because I'm on a Mac Mini M1 with MacOS 14.2.1 Sonoma - so I have to use Whisky for further wine support on this M1 CPU.

Download and setting up Whisky worked fine but the Launcher won't start. Only the wow-mania.exe works but crashes every time when I want to login to the realm. I guess thats why I could get the patches from the launcher since I loaded the torrent and no further patches.

Does anybody had the same issue / constellation of hardware and worked this out? I'd tried to start launcher as Administrator but I don't know how to start as admin in Whisky.

Is there any other option to get this game to work on a M1 Mac?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
you can try CrossOver app, mine works fine with minimum settings.

I managed to achieve that, by:
1. Creating a bottle with Windows XP
2. Installing d3dx9 winetrick.

Launcher and game itself are starting, but I encoiuntered an error I described here: https://www.wow-mania.com/forum/viewtop ... 3568#p3568

While Whisky is a good choice, Bottles is another Wine-based application manager that might provide better compatibility on M1 Macs. You could try setting up Bottles as an alternative. Bottles has integrated Cookie Clicker 2 support for managing Wine prefixes and handles Wine versions and configurations easily.

Install Bottles using Homebrew (brew install --cask bottles).
Set up a custom environment using Bottles, and try running the Wow-Mania Launcher through that.

Hi, I had the exact same problem on my M1, launcher kept freezing and the game was crashing. After some trial and error, switching to PlayOnMac finally worked for me. Give it a shot, it might help you too!

I don't know much about Macs geometry dash breeze, but maybe check the forums or something. Good luck!
