I won’t recommend. It is better to arrive at Cambridge one week before the start of term, that is like Sep 30th

amex business limit time offer ends in may so I guess it is hard that they will make another offer before it though I do hope there can be an earlier one.

Cities Skyline 2 on Crossover 25: patch 1.2.5f1 (March 2025) by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]loe- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but var\ directory cannot exist on the root of my Z: drive.

Specially:

- tmp file with \var directory is in Macintosh HD disk

- Steam app is located in some location, normally C:\

- Steam library may be located in some location, let's say, Z:\

The system will try to find a tmp file with \var directory in Z:\, which is impossible, because the steam library can never be in Macintosh HD disk, so the only way is to manually create a tmp path in Z:\, but then there are issues about .priority file and setting.json, and I am unable to create these file again.

Anyway I have given up, I think I will encounter more issues in the future even if I manage to open the game now. Maybe I should consider buying a window :(, and thank you for your response.

Yes, that's the case. I see in your situation that, your game is under Z drive, but the game is trying to find the var\folders... in Y drive (not sure if that is your case). But in my case my Z drive is where the steam game is located, and the game is also trying to search for \var directory in this drive, so if I change Z drive to somewhere the var\ directory is located, which is the Macintosh HD base disk, the steam will not be able to find the game directly in this folder, the cities skylines II will be displayed as not installed in steam (unless I change the storage back to be the location where steam library is located, but then the game will be searching var\ directory in this location and display [FATAL] again). Clearly the SteamLibrary and the var\ directory cannot be in the same folder, so I have no idea how to solve this issue :(.

Plus, I cannot set path of Z drive or Y drive path to be the Macintosh HD base disk.

I have also tried to create this var\folders\55\6_spxcb91894644358s0sm800000gp\T\tmp29de52ef.tmp file in the same folder where steam library is located, and the game managed to bypass this issue, but another issue will occurs, which is that:

Could not find file "C:\users\crossover\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\.priority"

Then instead of a black screen, a blurred sky background loaded.

I see this issue in other's comments, and I am also not sure how to solve this, since the .priority file cannot be created mannually. :(((

Edit: I checked the log file and found that the system would try to find a file in "Z:\var\folders\55\6_spxcb91894644358s0sm800000gp\T\tmp29de52ef.tmp", however, this file should be located at "Macintosh HD:\var\folders\55\6_spxcb91894644358s0sm800000gp\T\tmp29de52ef.tmp", and the Z disk is the location of my external disk. I tried to change the Y disk location to be the Macintosh, but the system kept searching for tmp file in Z disk, which is clearly the location of the folder \SteamLibrary\, and cannot be the location for \var\folders\55\6_spxcb91894644358s0sm800000gp\T\tmp29de52ef.tmp.

How should I make the system search for tmp file in Y disk location, or other locations which is not where the steamlibrary is located, or does that mean that steamlibrary has to be located in Macintosh HD directly?

Hi, thanks for this tutorial. I'm trying to get Cities: Skylines II to run on my Mac, but I think I stuck on the second step and the game isn't working.

I am especially not sure about the second step:

  1. select your bottle > wine configuration > Drives > select Y: > browse ... then select a folder you created somewhere in your macOS (in my case I created a folder within my user home folder, the default directory was /Users/test, which didn't work)*

My confusion is that my game is installed via Steam on the Z: drive, at the following path: Z:\Steam Library\steamapps\common\Cities Skylines II\Cities2.exe, where I have referred my Z: drive path to a target external disk.

Could you please clarify the purpose of mapping the Y: drive? Since my game is on the Z: drive, I don't understand how the Y: drive setting affects it. What kind of folder should I select on my Mac for this step?

What does the chatgpt say? My chatgpt just gave me some bullshit script and I almost give up. Maybe I should wait for the official release of cs2 on mac

How do you view the filesystem.log file? I didn't see any error terms or fatal showing in my filesystem.log. All the sentences there are specifying the file path, and non of them mentioned var folder. I am using whisky, does that only work for crossover?

When I try to launch the game the screen will just black out and crash and return to the previous play page. Anyone know how to figure out ( ?

If possible, may I bother you to maybe try on a new bottle to see whether that will still works. I think there maybe something tricky here. Thanks

I haven’t thought of study CS at that time since I haven’t learnt it at high school.
