legends of runeterra for mac

a better płayer·Oct 19, 2019·61 votes·27,780 views

asking for some mac representation when legends of runeterra comes out, it looks like a really fun alternative to other games but I only have a mac and dont want to go through the bootcamp process to run windows.

I'm also a mac user and I also hope they will make it available for mac soon :)

For the people who dont understand why some people have mac and not windows, there are a lot of legit reasons for this. Musicians, photographers, excetera usualy go for a mac because it works best for the software they have to use. That was why i bought a mac (studied music and had to learn to work in logic/ableton/protools for recordings). So saying "you should have bought a windows" is kinda rude. Not all people go for a mac "because it looks good" or because of the prestige, i just bought one because I kinda had to

I just hope it's not a 32-bit application, or if it is, they'll figure something out with Catalina... same as MtG:A. It would suck so hard to not be able to play this because of the dropped support from Apple.

Only reason I’m still using High Sierra. It’s such a shame when popular frameworks get dropped. XQuartz comes to mind too.

CodeWeavers are working on actualising Wine: they already got a few Steam games running. By the end of the year, or early 2020 at the latest, the next Crossover will run on Catalina as well as Wine does on Mojave. Assuming you were referring to Wine (weren't you?).

Another alternative is running Parallels Desktop: performance-wise, it's insanely better than VMware and the latest version even supports Direct X11. Coherence mode is a big plus, too.

I really doubt it is 32-bit honestly, as it is a new game. 32-bit support was dropped for a reason (I'm not saying it wasn't too early) just like 16 and 8-bit systems were. I'll check now if I can though.

I too have a mac and would really like the game to be compatible for mac. I watched many streamers play the game and would love to try it out sometime. Please consider this request Riot, it would mean alt to all mac gamers (if you could call us that xD)!

Honestly Riort Games been negelecting MAC user for a while now. Not to mention they have not fix the MAC user game voice for league yet. But hope they would soon release a mac version of League of Runeterra for many mac users

It sucks cause all they need to do is ask the Mac for permission to use our mics.

Riot got it right with League of Legends, hopefully they put their experience into releasing a mac client as soon as possible after the new games launch. I mean, they say, they have been working on all the other titles for years, so it COULD be possible :P

Good news for all who can't wait to play! If you download Wineskin Winery and create a wrapper with the WS9Wine64Bit4.20 (haha, 4.20) engine, the game runs out of the box without having to mess around with anything.

I only got to the launcher since my account confirmation is still pending. When I can actually play the game I will do some light testing to see if things like Fonts and other stuff all work nicely.

Hi Xzayler,

I've been running into problems with using Wineskin Winery to launch Legends of Runeterra (fairly inexperienced in using Wineskin). Put simply, nothing happens after I open the application. Did you run into any issues like this when making your Wrapper? Thank you in advance.

I'm also new to Wineskin, did you find the "WS9Wine64Bit4.20" he was referring to because I haven't!

I did not find version 4.20, but I did find another one (maybe 4.3). There's a public repository for all of the engines you can use, which is where I found that one. (https://portingteam.com/topic/10896-wineskin-engine-repository/) Also, if you're using High Sierra, there are some Winetricks you might have to run for anything to work at all. Look up videos on fixing the High Sierra bug. Regardless, I did not get it to work. :( Please let me know if you can get it running!

Hey man, I tried everything I could to locate this "WS9Wine64Bit4.20" but I can't find it. My Wineskin app got to the install window on version 2.22, then crashes after. Please help!

On the FAQ page, it says that it will be released on mobile etc and "coming soon" but on the mac, it says "Not supported" Got a bad feeling us Mac users won't get to play it for a long time unless you go through Bootcamp/use a mobile or tablet :(

Bruh yall need to chill, its in beta; its going to be out for the better platform first (kidding, but not). More people use windows, and to programmers, it is most likely much easier to program.
