Using the #Myst25 macOS Uru:CC port for Deep Island
Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2019 8:15 am
The anniversary update brought an official macOS port (wrapper) for Uru:CC. This wrapper can be used to play on Deep Island!
Warning: the sav folder is not in the wrapper itself, but in your user folder. Details below; the gist is that the avatars are shared, and once you start DI they won’t work with regular Uru: CC, unless you swap the user folder.
To set up the client, make a copy of the Uru Complete Chronicles app, then right-click on the game and select Show Package Contents; now navigate to (it’s deeply nested!):
You’ll find the typical Windows Uru:CC folder; extract and drop the content of the DI patch here. Now remove UruSetup.exe and rename Uru.exe as “UruSetup.exe”. Climb back to the game, and maybe rename it.
The wrapper should now pick the replacement client, and ask for your GoW login. Done!
The macOS port should also work with Drizzle.
