seek help! Regarding the running of Fallout 2 Traditional Chinese version on macOS, the macOS system is Monterey 12.7.6, the CPU is Intel Core i5, and the Fallout 2 game files are installed using Fallout 2 Traditional Chinese ISO. After installation, the folder contains the following file data:, ereg，critter，fallout2.cfg，fallout2，master，readme，uninst。 Can I run this game on MACOS?

[roginvs]

Should be ok, just use .dmg from releases from this repository or from the fork https://github.com/fallout2-ce/fallout2-ce/releases/tag/continious

Could not find the critter datafile. Please make sure the FALLOUT CD is in the drive and that you are running FALLOUT from the directory you installed it to
What should I do if this prompt appears?

[cambragol]

Which release did you use? Also, a screenshot of your folder could help.

[xiaocui85]

Chinese Traditional version iso This is the version I adopted The picture shows the files extracted after my installation.

[cambragol]

What version of Fallout2-ce is that? Did you try the link provided by roginvs? Or did you try the link from the releases of this repository?

After that, my first guess would be that your fallout2.cfg is not providing correct paths to your master and critter dat files. You should those pathways in the cfg file, and make sure they point correctly to the master.dat and critter.dat

I tried using the software provided by Roginvs and modified the path pointing, but I am not familiar with the path of an Apple computer, so I am not sure if the modification is correct. Here is the path I have modified.The problem has not been resolved. Please correct me. Thank you

Here is the lower section of a .cfg file that works on macOS. The game is installed in the 'Applications' folder:

music_path1=data/sound/music/

Copy the game file to the application under macOS, change the file path, and still can't start.

[cambragol]

Try a different version of Fallout 2 CE. Redownload, because something is wrong. Maybe your OS version? Which is it? Also, what is the exact message when it fails?

[xiaocui85]

macOS configuration and system version as well as game version： Regarding the running of Fallout 2 Traditional Chinese version on macOS, the macOS system is Monterey 12.7.6, the CPU is Intel Core i5, and the Fallout 2 game files are installed using Fallout 2 Traditional Chinese ISO. After installation, the folder contains the following file data:, ereg，critter，fallout2.cfg，fallout2，master，readme，uninst
Running both versions of Fallout2-ce get the same prompt：Could not find the critter datafile. Please make sure the FALLOUT CD is in the drive and that you are running FALLOUT from the directory you installed it to
I've tried to follow your setup method, but the game still doesn't work

[cambragol]

Hmm...Well, that message 'Please make sure the FALLOUT CD is in the drive and that you are running FALLOUT from the directory you installed it to' usually happens when one of the .dat files is not found.

Maybe there is some incompatibility with the Chinese version. You might want to see if an English version works.
