| I just thought I'd drop in to let people know about a fix I found while I was having issues using Wine to use MUSHClient on Mac.
I am using OSX Mojave version 10.14.6. I also used Wineskin Winery as I always do when creating Wine wrappers. Multiple times when I tried to run the client after setting up the wrapper and either giving the wineskin an installation exe OR placing an unzipped folder into the wrapper, I got a page fault. I couldn't get it to run, and I couldn't find anything about how to fix it online, despite many reports that MUSHClient should run fine in Wine.
The fix was to use an earlier engine version. Specifically, I used WS8Wine1.1.5. WS9Wine2.22 and 2.21 didn't work, and neither did WS9WineStaging2.16. I saw somewhere that the client worked on 1.0.1, so I tried using as early a version as I thought appropriate, and it works fine now. Thought I'd post this so someone else having this problem later can find it. | | Top |

| | Those versions of Wine are suuuuuuuuper old though. These days I don't bother with creating wrappers. I just install the latest official macOS Wine Staging build from https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html which makes all windows exe's runnable without any extra work or per-app specialization. |
