Using Reloaded on macOS is hard/undocumented

[zyneir]

Im new to the modding community and need help, been trying to figure out reloaded all day. Im on mac using whisky I can get other programs to run like steam but every time I try to run reloaded-ii.exe nothing happens. Ive also read running it through dotnet 48 would but im given this

I feel i may have a similar issue to https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/Reloaded-II/issues/92
Feel like im hitting my head against the wall so any help is very appreciated

I can't really say what the exact issue is; I don't know anyone who has previously set this up to run on macOS.

I assume you're trying to make work with the Linux Setup Guide I hacked up over a weekend a long time ago.

After running the winetrick for dotnet48, make sure to run Setup.exe via Wine (or I guess 'whisky' in your case); that normally would do an install to Desktop. On Linux that does produce a shortcut, i.e. .desktop file, but I'm not sure if the macOS Wine port would.

You should see it inside either your Desktop or the desktop inside the WINEPREFIX, i.e. inside the Bottles/16F ... folder (as seen in your image/log).

Lastly, update your version of underlying version of WINE if possible. Current Reloaded is built on .NET 8. .NET 8 had issues on Wine 7.X under Linux; I'd assume macOS may be the same.

After scouring so many different forums discords and reddit posts I genuinely dont think its possible to get it to run 😔, if anyone in the future is able to get it to work or if theres some type of fix id love to know.
