- Download the DMG file: FTP Site [1]
- Double-click the DMG file to "mount" it (it acts like its own little hard drive) [2]
- Double-click the disk image to open it
- Drag the app to the Applications folder [3]
- After launching the app, it connects to the updater and downloads content, just like the Windows version.
Notes
- For those who were beta testing, Ghost Falcon posted instructions on how to turn your beta installation into a live installation. (These instructions can be reversed to change a live install into a test install.)
- The client will be available at no extra cost (as a download) for anyone that has an active CoH Account.
- Those who use the Mac Client will connect to the same servers as those connecting with the PC Client.
- It is not actually a full client written natively for the Mac; it is a "wrapper" program like Wine and CrossOver, but more specialized.
