Tenderfoot Thahd Avernite #651 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi I downloaded the First Avernum Trilogy from Humble Bundle a few days ago. But I can't seem to play it. I'm using Macs and have tried it on 10.7 (which I know wouldn't work but tried anyway), 10.4, OS 9 using an emulator and even on an old computer still running OS 9. I've been able to play Avernum before and even now when I download a demo from the Spiderweb Software website I can run it. The files I got from Humble Bundle comes in a zip which extracts to three .app files (InstallAvernum1.app for example). That's when I hit a dead end as these files can't seem to be opened. I'm wondering if anyone else had got a copy from Humble Bundle and if they got theirs working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora waldo Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I had luck downloading the windows version and getting wineskin to allow it to run on OSX 10.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora rurouni.alex Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I had luck downloading the windows version and getting wineskin to allow it to run on OSX 10.8. Could you let me know how you did it? I tried doing that but when I play the game, the screen is black unless I put another window over it and it sort of refreshes to whatever menu is on. I have to do that whenever I select something. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean you also couldn't get the Mac version working? Could you let me know how you did it? I tried doing that but when I play the game, the screen is black unless I put another window over it and it sort of refreshes to whatever menu is on. I have to do that whenever I select something. =( I had that problem when using Wineskin for another game. I forgot how I solved it but it took a while. I was probably just playing around with the settings till it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 This is a problem to contact Jeff about: support@spidweb.com. Maybe Humble Bundle support as well? —Alorael, who can at least try to comfort you with the fact that Jeff is very good about making sure people who buy his games can play them. Making it work with Humble Bundle might be trickier, but it should happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Jenekee Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I had this problem too. I contacted both Humble Bundle and Spiderweb support. Humble Bundle support told me: "Sorry, there is nothing we can do." Spiderweb support was helpful and plans to contact Humble about fixing the Mac installer.

Tenderfoot Thahd Avernite #651 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 I just checked and received a reply from SS. They gave me working files. THANK YOU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
