I like gaming so of course first post will be about installing a Windows game on Mac OS X (and Linux). I have been gaming for a long time and got a decent amount of games at Steam.
Survival games are all the rage on PC, but there aren’t a ton of options on Mac. Thankfully, Apple fans only need Rust. Rust is one of the best survival games ever made, with brutal survival.

Mac Os Sierra Compatibility
A few years ago I deleted Windows and installed Linux on main computer which I use as a server, I also bought a Mac for my daily work. The bad thing about stop using Windows was I “lost” about half my game on Steam, because they are Windows only.
Last week I wanted to play Anno 1404, I haven’t played it for years but it’s a Windows only game. I didn’t want to install Windows again, and I have tried to play games through Virtualbox, I didn’t like it. So the only real alternative was to use Wine. Wine is not an emulator, instead it translate Windows API to POSIX used by Linux and Mac OS.
Next problem to solve was to install the game. I got a legit copy of the game through Steam but both Mac and Linux clients are locked to the OS and you can’t install games for another os. Download the game from a torrent site didn’t feel right, and I wanted to use Steam. A simple solution would be to install Windows Steam with Wine and then download the game, but I didn’t like the idéa to have two Steam installed. SteamCMD is Another way to install the game using command line.
SteamCMD are a command line program for Windows, Mac and Linux written for easy install dedicated game servers and it’s maintained by Valve. You really don’t need any GUI if the machine only gonna run game servers. The best part, you are not bound to install game servers, you can install any game you own on any operating system. Valve provide binaries for all three operating system.
1) Install Brew and Wine
The easiest way to install Wine on a Mac is to use Brew. Brew describing itself as the missing packets manager on Mac. You can install command line program just like Linux.
2) Install SteamCMD
On a mac you need to create a directory to Steam and download the binaries.
3) Login and install a game
To install a game with SteamCMD you need a GameID. Simples way to obtain this are from Steam store URL. I use Anno 1404 as an example. http://store.steampowered.com/app/33250/Anno_1404/
Anno 1404 got GameID 33250
We only need three commands:
force_install_dir – if we need to change default install dir. I wanted easy access so I force it to install the game directly under Steam. Usually Steam install games buried deep in sub-dirs.
@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows – The game does not exists to Linux or Mac OS so we need to use windows platform type.
app_update 33250 – install game, with the ID from steam store URL.
Then running steamcmd.sh first time, it will update, it can take a while.
UPDATE:
It seems like SteamCMD go back to default config after you close the program, so you have to change platform every time you use it. Plus you can only install the games you own, and free games.
4) Setup Wine with Winetricks
Anno 1404 got some dependencies. It need directx 9 and directx 10 to run and you probably need Windows fonts (corefonts). We only need to run winecfg to check if everything is working and it’s running Windows XP or Vista. (Best support for XP).
5) Run the game =)
