Shorah b'shem everyone,

I'm posting an update for the new Windows 11.

To create a new VM using Windows 11 , follow the instructions in the prior post and instead of downloading the Windows 10 ISO, download the Windows 11 ISO from here .

Note that I haven't tried to install a Windows 11 VM ...

Shorah skweebop and welcome to the forums (almost a year later than your post, unfortunately).

I'm having the same trouble as you with TOC, however there is no official support for it anywhere anymore.

For using Deep Island on a Mac, I have a totally new solution that I give full credit for to ...

Shorah oh powers that be!

I'm installing the Gehn client on a VM running Windows 10. I'm able to run gehn_shard.exe and log into the server successfully. And I get past the splash screen just fine. However, when the client attempts to update, I'm continually stuck at "Loading Global ..." and cannot ...

Shorah again Bob,

I agree, I think my GOG hotfix version was to make it compatible with Win10.

I’m finding all the gatekeeper workarounds to be unreliable in the end. For the last two days, my logins have gotten stuck without fail. :-)

Your test with the gatekeeper is very helpful! I’ll see if I ...

I've documented everything in a separate PDF document and put it into Dropbox. Let me know if you have trouble with the link.

I will update the document as I learn more.

Also, please feel free to let me know if there are mistakes or if I should add more information.

Ok, this is weird (I think), but it's worked twice so far.

When I start the Deep Island bottle and also open the Security & Privacy app, the non-responsive screen (from prior post) immediately changes to the shard screen when I click on/activate the Security & Privacy app screen. It's as if the ...

Shorah again Bob,

Ok, here's what I've learned so far (using Crossover 19 and the GOG version of Uru: Complete Chronicles):

All bottle versions except Windows 10 don't install DirectX correctly (throw error messages)
A Windows 10 bottle works fine on the first run; I can log into the DI shard and ...

Shorah Bob,

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "the bottle popups also included the option to run anyway"

Originally when running the DI bottle, when it tried to run both msvcp60.dll and Uru.exe, it would pop up a message with the two options of "Cancel" or "Move to Trash". Hitting "Cancel ...

Post Scriptum:

In my Launcher, all the bottles show as individual icons (not in a folder). The ones with generic icons are my old Wineskins (which no longer work). Not sure where the difference comes from between my Launcher and Bob's.

Shorah again Bob!

I won't have time to do much with your latest DI install suggestions until this weekend, so I'll post status here then. However, I did find (quite by accident) that there is a more moderate option for managing the restricted permissions issue.

If you have the Security and Privacy ...
