I didn’t choose my pc, my dad doesn’t want me to use windows soo… to bad _(T-T)_/
Sorry for the late reply, but do you know if it is possible to do this with the standalone client? is there any way without using a parallel software (I am happy to use wine or something similar though)
probably but idk, if you use parallel desktop you prolly can, but it’s not free, and I wouldn’t recommend doing this because if you only use the free trial, it’s just no sustainable
BTW : Parallel Desktop is 70€
You apparently are because you don’t know the difference between a windows executable (.exe) and a macOS binary.
back in the 90’s we already called macs “1 button bandits” because, like slot machines (one-armed bandit) the only thing they do is make you money, but let you believe you’re in a winning cult.
i’m sorry what?
I don’t think you understand what i have written.
Everyone understands
Then your comment doesn’t make sense.
What i have written isn’t wrong.
if you knew anything about compiling an program to run on windows, or macos, or linux, you’d realize you are.
same way a PS5 game doesn’t work in an xbox.
I have never claimed to be able to RUN the file, only OPEN it with a separate program, two very different things.
If it was that easy, OP would have already done it.
The fact that you couldn’t explain that in your first 10 responses looks to me like you’re moving goalposts. You have no idea how computers work and have to learn while trying to defend yourself instead of admitting you’re wrong.
I feel like i have said EXACTLY that several times.
I have said to TRY it, not that it would definitely work.
I have never claimed to know precisely how it works.
did you even read the entire thread?
dude, again, you apparently think Steam is some magic translator that can take a Windows executable (let’s say English) and automatically translate it to MacOS (let’s say Arabic)
did you even read the entire thread?
yes, and it hurts to watch you flop around.
It very well COULD have is what i was saying, it was a very fast and easy thing to try. i didn’t know if it actually would work.
You can write a plugin/portion for basically any program out there to make a translation between files and run files it otherwise wouldn’t have. Granted it would in many cases not be easy, but you can.
I’m now curious about your education/work/background.
I would consider myself VERY cautious when stating things and self aware about my limitations in knowledge and i don’t think i have stated a single thing in this thread that is wrong. Feel absolutely free to point any faults out to me and i will gladly correct them.
I’m now curious about your education/work/background.
Bachelor in Computer Sciences, smart enough to work for NATO and the US DOD, and on equipment cleared for the CIA and other intelligence agencies. I was one of two technical supervisors from a major network manufacturer of emergency secure equipment delivered to 9/11 rescue workers. I have enough clearance to be in the same office room as Collin Powell and Hillary Clinton when they were secretary of foreign affairs. I was working with Macs probably before you were born.
This reads like a copy pasta but in going to assume it isn’t.
So I ask again, kindly point out where I have stated anything wrong and I would be happy to edit.
you get the game through steam, put CDK from wiki into the war thunder steam install folder, start game through steam.
as far as i know that should work. but i don’t use mac so i don’t actually know, i just did 2 min of google search.
the CDK is only available as a Windows executable.
Althought Steam can run on a mac, it doesn’t run any windows games. Just as a Nintendo switch doesn’t run PS5 games, or a PS5 doesn’t run xbox games.
while there are windows emulators available for macos, at this point you are buying more and more software and licenses (OP already complained about it) and it would require him to run a completely separate windows environment, with all the performance drawbacks and hassles to actually share files between the two environments.
So, let me fix it for you, downloading it through steam just gives him WT on his mac through steam.
The CDK installer can be downloaded but can NOT be installed on his mac
This means his CDK cannot be updated.
This reads like a copy pasta but in going to assume it isn’t.
It isn’t, but it shows how far outside your comfort zone you are.
which i didn’t know at the time but do now, and as i stated
So i have technically not stated anything wrong here.
The ability for steam to run a barebones windows emulator as a background process to be able to run windows executables isn’t really that far fetched of an idea. That functionality very well could have existed (but now i know it doesn’t) and i never claimed it to be absolutely so.
Thanks for the information, something i didn’t know at the time. But honestly, with my knowledge at the time of making those posts being what it was, to at least test it takes 2 minutes and would have taught me the information i now got from you. but instead OP refused to even entertain the idea that it would be a functionality that could have existed and became obstinate and rude.
To repeat, i haven’t claimed to actually know that it would work, I asked them to test it to see if it did. So i haven’t stated anything wrong here.
I might be in comparison to your background, but probably not as far as you seem to think.
I went to school for “Technology” with a focus on telecommunication, programming (which my school chose F****NG visual basic for -.- so not much knowledge in the big ones other than some VERY minor self though python. but it still gives quite a solid understanding of the basics), electronics and 3D-CAD as a focus during the last 1.5 years. Granted that was 14 years ago but i have haphazardly kept it up every now and then. I have just finished a year of renewal for my grades in math, physics and chemistry and am about to start engineering in 2 weeks.
I bought a 3d printer a year ago and i have recently compiled my own firmware based on a known creators firmware. I read through the code, thought myself the things i needed to know about marlin and changed parts of it to my liking and printers quirks. I am far from technologically inept but i don’t have a hard time acknowledging that i’m not an expert, in any shape or form, either.
And honestly, i’m not a fan of your “know-it-all” attitude, even if you might actually know it all, its not a nice look to have.
mf i litterally said Steam can’t take it, Mac OS needs to support it.
because it is a stupid idea, Mac players know the pain of searching the whole internet just to get 1 plugin for you game
for exemple :
when I was playing Minecraft ; I wanted to download mods, and oh boy how HARD it was, not that it was complicated, it’s just that it’s completely undocumented with only 1 video about it on YouTube that dates from 2015.
Also I didn’t become rude, I just said it prolly won’t work, and when I believed in it I was happy and thanked you.
this thread was a waste of time because other people can’t now see that we don’t have the CDK and that this is an unresolved problem.
remember : you are not the victim
