Fellow Mac users who want to play Ion Fury - in case you're waiting for the promised macOS version of Ion Fury, I wanted to share the instructions on how to run the game on macOS today.

See updated guide here: https://github.com/boggydigital/mac-gaming-guides/blob/main/games/ion_fury.md

Hope this helps!

Not a macOS user, but you can skip the innoextract stuff – the Linux installer is a shell script with a zip archive concatenated to it. You can simply unzip the whole thing.

Hey dude,

Cheers for this.
Managed to get it up and running after passing the .def etc over from a windows machine.
Seems to be running fine.

Just one thing though... I can't save.
It occurs to me there is no folder to save to.

Any chance you could help me out please?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Can you please provide more details? I just tried in my install and here is what works. During gameplay press Esc, in the menu select Save game, (New save game) or existing - type some name and Enter. I was able to load that game.

How d you save and what's not working for you?

Ugh, sorry to hear that! Happy to brainstorm with you on what could have gone wrong. I wouldn't expect Steam or GOG versions to have any differences for those files. Here are md5 for files I have (from GOG 1.2 Windows version):

MD5 (fury.def) = 68f4b7e312bbaf6e7fd564ca2ba552ad
MD5 (fury.grp) = 24ff590a9bc6f4a69e3536f76ca53d50
MD5 (fury.grpinfo) = c44a3221fe69c1860102b50c30bd9674

Couple more things you could try:
1) EDuke32 shows that it's looking in few more locations (e.g. ~/.config/eduke32/) - perhaps one of those would work?
2) Did you extract those files on macOS or copied over from Windows? I can't think of specific possible issue, but in the latter case, perhaps it's some attributes that make EDuke32 miss the files? In this case - I can share what attributes I have to compare
3) It's not evident from your screenshot, but in case you're on Catalina, perhaps you can try giving EDuke32 permissions to access the folder where the files are of full disk access? I double checked and I didn't have to grant anything - but with Catalina you never know :-)

Thanks for your quick answer.

Today, tried again - success. Trouble been in application, which i used for copied files to internet from another windows PC - ForkLift. Once i switch to native finder - all worked out.

As promised - I buy the game (screenshot attached). The Steam version was a gift (please forgive me for using pirated version for tests -_- )

Great to hear, enjoy the game! I'm not affiliated with GOG, but it's great that you've decided to support them :-)

Really good guide! However, I can't get the black screen thing to work. No matter which resolution I select I get a black screen with sound in the background. I'm on Catalina.

EDIT: Got it working. Had to update eduke to the newest version.

I still CANT SAVE?! Do i need to create folder for Ion fury to store the save files?

Sorry to hear that you can't save! Is there error that eDuke displays? Perhaps you can try granting eDuke Full Disk permissions - System Preferences... > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access, but I'll admit I didn't have to do that.

If there helps here is what I see on my machine:

- I have eDuke32 in /Applications
- I copied Ion Fury files to ~/Library/Application Support/EDuke32
- According to the logs (~/Library/Logs/eduke32.log) EDuke32 is saving games to ~/.config/eduke32 and I see a bunch of save000x.esv files there

Hey man! Thanks for the guide but I've come into an issue as I followed your instructions. I think I did everything right until you wanted me to run "innoextract setup_ion_fury_1.02_(32556).exe" after opening my downloads in the terminal. The code says: "-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('". Could you help me with that?

That's weird! Can you perhaps post a screenshot of what you actually used as a command? There is no `( in the command, so it shouldn't complain.

Does innoextract work by itself? If you run just "innoextract" what does it say? Should say "innoextract: no input files specified Try the --help (-h) option for usage information."

Perhaps you can try "innoextract ./setup" then press tab to autocomplete to the full file name you've downloaded?

Thank you again for the quick response. Basically, I've tried to navigate to my downloads from the terminal (where the offline backup game installer is) by using "cd ~/Downloads". Innoextract by itself works cause it displays the same message as you wrote. Here's a screen of what we see exactly.

I see, seems like "(" in the file name is breaking things for some reason. Can you try renaming the file to just "setup.exe" and try extracting that?

Done! Thanks for the tip. You managed to make me run it flawlessly :D
