In PlayOnMac, window "Manage Wine Versions" the last available versions I find are 4.3 or 4.11.

The last fixed script requires wine 4.12.1 and obviously it stops saying POM can't find wine 4.12.1. Am I doing something wrong?

What is your PlayOnMac version ?

version 4.3.4, the last one available. I already tried redownloading and installing a fresh app, to no difference.

I don't know on PlayOnMac 4.3.4 what is the latest Wine version available.

 

In your case, you may copy  the script from its web page then copy it into a text file ".POL", then edit it and change the Wine version, save it, then use it manually from POM (menu Tools -> Run a local script).

Tried using up to 4.11 (most recent wine version POM can find), and also have tried every time deleting the install directory first, to have a fresh start, but apparenty it doesn't work still.

At first, the wizard would stop at choosing language for the installation - the script instructs to open a window to choose, and what I got was instead a window with "Choose language" and then blank slate. I made a modification to skip that issue by commenting out the lines in the script, and set just lang=en-US from the start.

######################
# Language selection #
######################

#POL_SetupWindow_menu "Choose a language:" "$TITLE" "English|Français|Deutsch" "|"
#if [ "$APP_ANSWER" = "English" ]; then
    lang="en-us"
#elif [ "$APP_ANSWER" = "Français" ]; then
#    lang="fr-fr"
#elif [ "$APP_ANSWER" = "Deutsch" ]; then
#    lang="de-de"
#fi

At this point it proceeds, lets me run the installer but stops immediately after, saying the xml is corrupt (?) and it can't find launcher.exe.

N.B. I installed the game in VirtualPC from the very same installer exe, so I don't think it can be its fault.

I suspect it might very well be an issue with the wine version, yet I don't know what else to try. Is there a way for me to install a 4.12.1 manually?

No, until it appear in the POM's list.

Ah, well, I'll wait then, hopefully it will happen at some point. Thank you for your help!

I'm also trying to play SWTOR and running into the same issue. I don't understand why it requires 4.12.1 if it's not even available?

Because the last person that updated the script did not think/test about OSX users, or thought (like me) that the 4.12.1 release would come fast.

I downgraded the script to Wine 4.11, and made some little changes.
