    what mac are you using (graphics card)?

    if its intel, there is a rendering issue with CUO (OSI client works just fine then)
    if ifs not intel, then CUO will very likely work (i ve had a couple confirmations)

    downside: you need a license of Crossover (38$)

    Open crossover
    import the DOWNLOADED Archive

    Double click “LauncherLite”

    from the laucher program, open a new session of CUO (up to 3 max on UO Renaissance)


    After installing

    To import your existing macro & profiles from razor copy your current to

    uo renaissance\classicuo\CUO\razor

    Thanks! I am using a MacBook Air Early 2015, with a Ontel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB graphics. Do I need then to follow your steps to install UO, using crossover? Does it include Razor also? Is there any chance you might be releasing a native downloaded ready to use version without the need of using crossover? Thank you again for your help

    crossover is the only way i was able to get it work.
    both CUO & OSI client are with razor indeed.
    im afraid your intel graphics card will have rendering issue in CUO like me & 1 other person faced. the osi client works though, just not CUO

    Yeah - with the Intel card, I can't get CUO to work. I have gotten it to work on Parallels, but only once, the other times it does not work - trying to figure out why it works sometimes and not others. CUO will work with Bootcamp, but the rendering is poor and the mouse action is offset weirdly. Sticking with OSI client on Parallels for now.

    I'm trying to update the files so I can see all of the new player dungeon, Ocllo stables, etc on Mac OS X High Sierra. Can anyone help me with this? I can't seem to locate the system files.

    Also -- a GM informed that a new Mac OS X client would be available this past weekend. Any update on that release?

    OK @Labeler , I will try the crossover path.

    Where should I download the OSI client then?

    I guess the google drive link you shared here is for CUO client right?

    Thanks again!!

    My son has got a few friends with Macs (Overpriced BS as far as I'm concerned and I have to use one for work) is there any progress on the Classic UO installer for Mac? Anything I can do to help? I'm happy to test or debug or whatever.

    Just follow the instructions for manually downloading the zip and updating it. If you have UO running on the Mac already you just need the updated files.
