Hey guys. I'm having a blast playing this game (about 4 hours in) on my PC, but my brother is trying to play this on his Mac, but unable to install. I'm not in the same city as him, and he's a bit computer-illiterate. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

I would assume one would just double-click the .dmg file(s) to install? Again, if anyone could help, that'd be much appreciated. Was unable to find info on the Mac version elsewhere.

Thank you.

He must be quite new to the Mac to not know this; most Mac software is distributed as .dmg files.

.dmg files are disk images. You double-click the file, which mounts the image; it then shows up in Finder as another disk drive. Either on the desktop or in the Finder window's sidebar, depending on how his system is configured.

Some .dmg files will automatically open a window when you mount them; this is a Finder option, and might be turned off.

Once he finds the image, click on it, then run the installer inside the image.

Yeah, he knows it's distibuted as a .dmg file. This other poaster had the same issue as him which seems unsolved as of yet.

I didn't give much info in the OP: apologies for that.

He's download the installer a few times, like the other poster, but can't seem to get it working.
