Hi,

I just picked up SS2 for the Mac and was trying it on my mid-2011 MacBook Air running 10.8.3. When I run the program from the Applications menu, the message I've attached appears (and I cry). I re-downloaded and verified both copies were identical [MD5 (system_shock_2_1.0.0.5.dmg) = f2da47242dd58977cd6c2b0218162d03] but it still says damaged.

When I 'Show Package Contents' and run the Wineskin app directly, the game runs great (and I cheer).

I'm not an expert with wrapped games, could someone give me any tips to get this classic to work from Applications?

Thanks!

There are two known workarounds:

a) Redownload the game using the newest version of the GOG Downloader:
https://secure.gog.com/downloader
To download, make sure the "GOG.com Downloader mode" is switched to ON before clicking the "Game installer" button. After the download is complete, reinstall the game.

b) Use this workaround if using the Download didn't help:
- Go to Applications -> Terminal
- Type in:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
but don't press Enter.
- Drag the application to the Terminal window, this should add the path.
- Press Enter.

Hope this helps :)

This worked for me thanks.

b) worked for me! THANK YOU!!!
I tried a) and the downloaded version was the same checksum and same result (tears)

Perchance could b) be put as a small script on the install dmg for those with issues? It doesn't require root so should be safe enough for grandma to use.
