Eternal Lands for macOS - Download here!

[Ben]

Introducing the brand new 64-bit Eternal Lands client for the Mac!

 

The client is compatible with macOS 10.14 Mojave and onwards (yes, we finally have a client for 10.15 Catalina!), and for the first time ever has been both signed and notarised by Apple to ensure it’ll run without any compromises.

 

This client also introduces a beautiful new High Resolution mode for Mac users with modern displays. High Resolution mode is automatically detected and enabled for systems which support it, but does use slightly more resources. If you’d rather forego the beautiful crispness in favour of performance, you can disable High Resolution mode via the method described here.

 

As of 1.9.5p8, the macOS client also includes the minimal BurnedMaps pack by default, eliminating the need to install it separately. If you'd prefer to use an alternative (such as the full BurnedMaps pack), please follow the instructions here.

 

Moving forwards, updated Mac builds will be made available regularly alongside those for other platforms where possible - keep an eye on the download link below or the general chat forum for new releases.

 

Big thank you to Bluap for all the hard work he does to bring us new features, and to VinoVeritas for assisting with bugs and testing - you guys rock!

Great job!

Out of curiosity, is it necessary or just nice to have a signed client?

Btw, once more people test it, I want to put it on the download page.

Since the new MacOS its like jumping through a lot of hoops to get an unsigned Program running. People get several times Warnings that its unsafe to do so, and the buttons for continued running are hidden. To discourage people without deeper knowledge of an Operating System to not start it.

Exactly. Until 10.14 Mojave it was considered best practice to have an app distributed outside the App Store signed and notarised by Apple, and users would receive a dismissible warning when opening the app. As of 10.15 Catalina, the only way to run a non-notarised app is to completely disable various system protections first (bad idea), which makes it necessary for those apps to now be signed and notarised in order to run

Really great work on this Ben, Vino, Bluap and the team. This is making a big difference.

Such a delight! Well done everyone!

Thank you for the feedback guys, both here and in-game. 

 

There'll be a new build (1.9.5p8) likely coming in the next few days with bug fixes from Bluap for some minor HighDPI bugs and the alt+s = ß issue. The next release will also include Burn's minimal map pack by default (thanks, Burn!), and I have been working on a small launcher app to make it easier for Mac users to run multiple clients/access other servers.
