Newbie here, so please forgive me if I'm being particularly clueless, but here's my issue.

I have a 2017 iMac running OS 10.14.6. I love EAW and have spent many hours of COVID lockdown alternately blasting rebel scum or bringing freedom to the galaxy, all on the original 2006 Aspyr Mac release. I thought that was as good as it could get on a Mac.

My eyes have been opened now. I would like to download the GOG EAW package to my Mac and then install the Remake mod (and/or others). I have found guidance on porting the base game to Mac using Wineskin, etc., and instruction on how to install mods on a PC, but I haven't yet found anything on whether it is even possible to add mods to a PC native program that has been fooled into running on a Mac.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone know for sure whether or not it is even possible? I'd like to know before I download the update from GOG. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, GOG version of EAW gold pack works perfectly using a Wineskin wrapper made from The Porting Kit on a Mac. I know that OS Catalina however may be an issue due to dropping 32 bit support but I use High Sierra on a 2011 iMac and it runs perfectly.

More importantly, earlier this evening I successfully got the Thrawn's Revenge and Empire at War Remake Mods to work too using the Wineskin advanced menu options. It's all to do with setting the target file mode to the.bat file used to start the required mod AND editing said .bat file using textedit to make sure the file path is correct.

Oh and you'll need to update the foc.exe with the 4GB patch in a Windows environment otherwise the game will crash if you have over 2GB of Ram. The patch comes with most of the MOD packages as standard. I updated the exe in Parallels before copying it back into the correct place inside the Wineskin wrapper.

Hope this helps!
