I installed Wine on my Mac, and I'm able to open up the launcher, but when I click start, the game window opens and then closes. Is there a way around this?
 
Rather than opening a new topic, I allow myself to use this one since the subject is relatively similar 😁

For your question @HQThe1 difficult to answer you, not knowing how you installed Wine and your bottle. Do you have all the prerequisites for it, like Visual C++ ? 🧐

For my part, the game works well on macOS and two methods are possible:
  1. In a Windows 11 virtual machine with VMWare Fusion
  2. With CrossOver in a Windows 10 64-bit bottle
Method No. 2 still has a slight disadvantage, the texture representing the grass does not seem to be loaded 😅
If anyone ever has an idea of what is missing in the Wine configuration or other? I have not yet tested if the problem is present on Linux.

When I wrote my previous message, I was still on my iMac 5K with Intel Core i7 and AMD Radeon 5700 XT.
Today, I switched to a MacBook Pro M5 Max, but I haven't retested DBO since.

Honestly, the game is old, so even to play in a virtual machine, you don't need a high-end configuration in my opinion.
What is your current configuration?
 
I used to be able to get the game to reliably run within VMWare fusion, but now when I go to log in nothing happens, and when I try again it says "This character is currently connected"

Any ideas?
