hey guys, valve announced that dota2 will be on the Mac. does anyone when it'll actually be released? the Win version has been out for ages. when will the Mac version be out?
thanks
thanks
I've read it won't be out until Dota 2 is officially out. At the latest that should be the end of December, as someone worked out.
wow, december?
anyone else have an idea?
The International (or TI 2) is the second annual professional Dota 2 tournament held by Valve. It actually starts next week I think so you should check it out
anyone have a better idea?
Original tutorial is hereFirst you going to need Wineskin:-
Wineskin is a tool used to make ports of Windows software to Mac OS X.
Mono:-
An open source, cross-platform, implementation of C# and the CLR that is binary compatible with Microsoft.NET
3rd STEAM For windows
How to Install:-
1- Install Wineskin
2- Install Wineskin Engine WS9Wine 1.5.26 (latest stable build for the time I wrote this)
3- Update to the latest Wrapper
4- Create a New blank Wrapper And Name it Steam
5- after its done you will see a message tells you its done creating ... click on view the folder.
6- it will show you the folder of the wrapper you created usually found in /user/applications/wineskin/
7- right click and click on show package contents.
8- click on the wineskin icon and select Install an application
9- Choose the first one which is Executable... then search for the Steam file which you downloaded earlier... note that steam version must be for windows
10- do a normal install.
11- after you finish the installation click on wineskin and go to advances .. make sure that the file path is set to the steam.exe file
12- Install Mono for mac OSX
13- Run the steam wrapper file to allow steam for win to run on mac
14- log-in to your account
15- right click on dota 2 - properties - set launch options and type this[/COLOR] command line.. must be exactly the same..
Code:
-novid -windowed -nod3d9ex
i typed the -windowed command to make the game starts on a window screen because if you dont type that you wont be able to use the keyboard in-game
16- start the game and go to settings - video - change the display to full screen and choose the best resolution to display and now you are done.
ps:
Known issue: fonts invisible. 'dwrite' disabled via 'wine steam.exe -no-dwrite'
