Recent versions of MacOS are causing problems for some players.

Recent versions of MacOS (10.15 'Catalina' and 11.1 'Big Sur') are causing problems for some players. We've found no information about what has changed, but here is what has worked for those players:

  1. Find the actual WolfQuest app on your computer:
    • If you have the game from Steam, it would be in your Steamapps folder, and you can find it via Steam by right-clicking (ctrl-clicking) on the WolfQuest 2.7 game name in your steam library (left sidebar), then choose Properties, then Local Files tab, then Browse Local Files.
    • If you have the non-Steam version, find WQ: AE game in your Applications folder. Right-click (Option-click) and then choose Show Package Contents. Then in the folder that opens, go into the WolfQuest folder, and there'll be another WolfQuest game icon -- that's the actual game app.
  2. Double-click the game app to launch it.
  3. When the Resolution popup appears, click that toggle button that says 'Only show this dialog if the option key is down.' Then try clicking Play. It may crash, but if it does, try running it again and it should not crash.
  4. In the future, you can probably launch the game normally (from Steam or via the WQ game launcher) and it will probably run. If you do need to change the game resolution at some point, hold down the Option key when launching it.

If the Resolution popup doesn't appear at all, then on the second step above, hold down the Option key and then double-click on it. That should force the Resolution popup to appear. If it does, then follow step 3 instructions.

Did you use a zip file when following the tutorial (for example, right-clicking on a zip file and then clicking Get Info)?

If that doesn't work, or you don't have any zip files on hand, you can instead manually extract the zip file with Unarchiver without setting it as your default, it just means a couple more steps depending on the browser you use.

For Safari and I think Google Chrome also, it will automatically unzip the file with the default app (which probably is Archive Utility). You can stop this process by right-clicking wherever the download process is being tracked on your browser, and then clicking Stop. Make sure to do this after the actual download is complete, so as soon as it says anything along the lines of 'decompressing the file'. If done properly, you should be left with just the zip file of the game, which you then can open in Finder. Right-click it, click Open With, and then choose Unarchiver.

If you use Firefox however, you can choose from the start which application to open the zip file with, so you can just skip all these steps and just download the game normally, but this time choosing Unarchiver instead of Archive Utility.
