Quickstarts, Mac, and Steam

enuttage · 06-23-2018, 01:07 AM

Can anyone help with how to use a downloaded custom quickstart with Steam on a Mac?

I 100% HATE Apple products, but my work software only runs on a Mac, so that's what I have to work with.

It appears you have to be a damn brain surgeon to crack Apple's file structure to be able to put a downloaded quickstart file into the QS folder and access it through the game.

I can't even find the Steam folder, much less the OOTP one. Even the data path dictated in OOTP is inaccessible.

I have looked online, in the forums, everywhere I can think, and I am still missing something.

Can someone please help. I just contributed my yearly Heinsohn living wage donation, and I'd REALLY like to actually use the software.

TIA for any help,

I've found while hitting the PC and screaming at it doesn't work, it does make me feel a lot better.

I gave up and imported my game on my Windows box.

My laptop is great for work, but Apple can go jump in a lake for "knowing what's best" for me.

From the home screen, go to Go > [hold option] Library > AppSupport > OOTP Developments > OOTP 19 > quickstart_games

Just remember to hold the alt/option button when looking at the "Go" dropdown, as you wont see "Library" if youre not holding it down.
