even on the Windows platform you need those files as games didn't do build in network based gaming for the most part like they do now. that being said DDO may 'run' but you need the Direct X files to do so. It may be compatible but it depends on which version of the Mac OS. Mac is closed ecosystem that is constantly changing its BS system (yes its better privacy and mostly stable OS) it causes issues with stuff that isn't nativly supported by the mac OS aka OSx by default even most linux users have to use a 3rd party program/workaround to run some programs.

Sadly DDO was made using C++ (its basically windows based) back before there was all the cross plat form stuff going around and sense mac is IIRC modded Unix (could be modded Linux can't remember). if the software is mac compatible, which DDO is said to be, it should be playable on a mac without having to do this. I'm in no way a computer expert, but this makes absolutely no sense to me. They said you have to install 3rd party software such as wine, which pretty much just lets you use windows compatible software on a mac. Originally posted by robertsalzwedel:I did check the mac section of the forums. I wouldn't trust the devs figure it out in under 8 months if you paid them. Like taebrythn said check the mac section on the forums they are more likely to have the answers you need.

I'm with you on the 2nd part (windows user but still CS is ♥♥♥♥) trying to get actual help from DDO's staff to actually help and not just brush you off is like trying to win the loto and even then you have better odds at that now days. I should not have to download more software to trick the computer into running windows software when it is supposed to Mac compatible.

If anyone knows how to run the game on a non-Catilina Mac OS, without having to download other crap to make it work please let me know.

For apple instal Iron Dungeon
