Create a World for Mac Tip

Question/Help

Hi! Sorry, not sure what flair to use, but since this came up for me, I figured it may come up for someone else. I haven't fully tested this out but I got past the error screen for CAW on Mac.

I use Crossover, by the way and have my the CAW tool installed in the EA bottle I have. It is also running with Windows XP with Wine Graphics. And when I kept trying to launch CAW, I kept running into an error screen. The only thing that worked for me was installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 in the bottle. It lagged a bit and kind froze during installation, and so after waiting a while, I forced crossover to close. Then when I relaunched and tried to get CAW going, it finally got me to the workable screen to start creating a world!

Granted, this is early stage trying it out but I got further than I thought I would so, just thought I'd share.
