Is there a way to play PWI on a Mac using Crossover or Wine? Crossover requires the install exe but I'm guessing that has something to do with ARC.

Since I already have the folder of the newest client, I also tried to add Sylenthunder's string but wasn't sure how to change the target of the element client on a mac to bypass ARC.

    Not sure if you can reliably do it using Wine or Crossover anymore. Running a VM is better, but finding a functioning DX9-compatible driver for the VM can be a PITA too. Easiest is dual-booting to Windows.

    I personally haven't bothered running it on Linux since 12.04 Ubuntu and the Decent update.

    i use archlinux and wine. i've never downloaded arc to that system. the game plays fine except for a few issues in primal world. the water around where u do heroic warsong and liu su's plea is not showing but gameplay is fine. i have to use the button to do meridian. in FSP i fall through the steps at the start so i dual boot to windows to do that. other than that every thing seems to work fine. it' takes a bit of work to get it setup but works fine. i usually do a manual patch but through the patcher works fine also.
