SD site > Game download link 404


(Satcong) #1

Hi guys,

on the Games Download page ( http://www.splashdamage.com/downloads ) the link to the full macosx 1.5 ETQW download is dead ( target link http://support.aspyr.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&root=233 ).
I’ve not been able to play ETQW for years since I moved to apple products. I learned there was a mac client last night at a LAN party and I want to play!

I will appreciate any help you can give me.

Why on earth would you play games on a MAC?

Here you go: Letmegooglethatforyou

Amusing that you would ask such a silly question. First of all, the game exists on my OS of choice. Second of all, what makes you think I would feel compelled to explain my motives to you?

I understand that you feel that you’re at the top of the internet food chain but please refrain from trying to contribute useless answers without digging a bit. I’m asking here for answers and assistance, not silly trolling. For your information all the links returned by google are mislabelled linux downloads or the mac os x patch partial name search match.

nope, first one is mac patch, remember these are just 1.5 update patchs, not the game itself

Still doesn’t answer my question about why the FULL client download link doesn’t work, does it?


(Rex) #6

I think that’s a question for SD. :wink:


(Aristotle) #7

Because it’s not a free game and you have to buy it first?


(Satcong) #8

Good point. I do have a CD from my windows days. And my account should still be valid. Just want to play on my Mac. If SD confirms I need a new account/key for this client, I’ll gladly buy one.

Oops, quoted the wrong post (mild case of iPhone induced blindness) but Rex, you are right. It was mostly a question for SD and a crazy hope to have someone with a link or a procedure to reinstall the game.

the SD link, actually to Aspyr , was still just the 1.5 patch for the full game, full game meaning not the demo. The question isn’t for SD unfortunately, it would be for Activision or Aspyr

you will also have probs if you run newer than 10.7 as there are issues with punkbuster


(Satcong) #11

OK thanks for the clarification. I shall try to set it up when I sober up a bit.


(Kl3ppy) #12

The pb issues can be solved with a setting in the cfg

I just bought the mac version on amazon for 11 euros. Should bring me some fun on them lonely august nights while my kids are off on vacations :>

I hope you enjoy! Welcome back! :slight_smile:
