Run MTG Arena on Mac OSX

Magic: The Gathering Arena is now in open beta.
Don’t have windows? Here’s how to play on 🍎 Mac OSX.

Getting Started

MTGArena is officially only available on Windows, yet it’s possible to run the .exe on mac osx using 🍷wine.

Needed Files

For this tutorial, you’ll need the installer MTGAInstaller.exe and the wineskin MTGArena.app .
Make sure you have at least 5GB space available. The final size after running the installer will be around 3.15GB.

3.6MB | or download directly from Wizards.com

Steps

1. Unzip MTGArena.zip and drag MTGArena.app into your /Applications/ folder
2. Right click the Wineskin wrapper (MTGArena.app) and select «Open.»
   
3. Before installing software, select «Set Screen Options» and turn off «Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D»
   
4. Select «Install Software» and then select «Choose Setup Executable». This is where you load the 3.8MB MTGArenaInstaller.exe
   
5. The windows have graphical glitches. Simply click through the bottom right buttons. Follow these graphical steps:
   
6. Wait for the program to install. Ignore any warnings about Path not found.
7. Click «Finish». If the window appears frozen/isn’t responding, force-close the installer (not the wineskin!). Wait 10 seconds.
8. A «Choose Executable» window should appear. Select «MTGA.exe,» NOT «MtgaLauncher.exe.» Then Quit.
   
9. Open the Wineskin Wrapper, and viola! You now have MTGArena on your Mac.

Change the Icon

The most important finishing touch!

Open the Applications window. Right click on your Wineskin wrapper and select «Get Info».

Представляем MTG Arena для macOS

Posted in Magic Digital on 22 Июнь 2020

By Wizards of the Coast

Все та же игра. Все та же коллекция. На новой платформе.

Рады сообщить вам, что благодаря сотрудничеству с интернет-магазином Epic Games игра MTG Arena скоро будет доступна для macOS.

Как скоро? Уже на этой неделе.

Начиная с 25 июня 2020 года игроки смогут загрузить MTG Arena для macOS из интернет-магазина Epic Games. Наш релиз для macOS будет иметь полную межплатформенную поддержку наравне с нашим клиентом для Windows, в том числе и для грядущего «Базового выпуска 2021». В версии для macOS игроки найдут те же карты, форматы, мероприятия, матчи и функции, что и в версии игры для Windows.

Если вы уже играли в MTG Arena, вы сможете войти в игру, используя данные вашей учетной записи Wizards, и получить доступ к вашей текущей коллекции, а также картам, протекторам, золоту и самоцветам. Для загрузки клиента для macOS потребуется отдельная учетная запись на сайте Epic Games.

Мы очень рады объявить дату релиза игры для macOS, так как мы готовимся к тому, чтобы в этом году MTG Arena стала доступной на еще большем количестве платформ.

Минимальные требования для macOS

• ОС: macOS X/10 (64-разрядная версия Intel)
• Процессор: Intel Core i5.
• Память: 4 ГБ.
• Графика: 1024 МБ VRAM.
• Разрешение: минимальное разрешение экрана 1280 x 720

Вопросы и ответы

Почему вы выбрали интернет-магазин Epic Games?

Если коротко,то это был самый быстрый способ обеспечить нашим игрокам полнофункциональный встраиваемый клиент для macOS. Благодаря партнерству с Epic Games и совместной работе по поддержанию нашего релиза для macOS мы смогли гарантировать то, что игроки как можно раньше получат клиент для macOS, который ни в чем не будет уступать клиенту для Windows.

Когда будет доступен клиент для macOS?
Клиент для macOS будет доступен вместе с нашим июньским обновлением, которое запланировано на этот четверг. Следите за нашей страницей статуса — там мы публикуем свежую информацию о периодах техобслуживания!

Планирует ли Wizards поддерживать отдельный клиент для macOS?

В настоящее время — нет.

Есть ли разница между игрой в macOS и в Windows?

Различия между версиями для macOS и Windows будут незначительными, так как эти два разных клиента разработаны для двух разных платформ (например, использование клавиши Cmd вместо Ctrl).

Кроме того, наша цель — обеспечить пользователям одинаковые впечатления независимо от того, на какой платформе они захотят играть. Обратите внимание, что некоторые настройки игры сохраняются локально на вашем компьютере, а не на наших серверах (например, выбранные аватары и питомцы), поэтому вам может потребоваться изменить их!

Что если раньше я играл(а) на Windows, а теперь хочу перейти на macOS?

Вам ничто не помешает! Ваша текущая учетная запись Wizards и учетные данные будут работать на любой платформе.

Мне попалась ошибка! . Что делать?

Хороший вопрос! Так как это новая платформа, существуют некоторые известные проблемы, которые возникают только в macOS. Большинство из них это просто незначительные визуальные проблемы, но мы все равно решили выпустить эту сборку, потому что знали, как много игроков ждали этого.

Матчи доступны игрокам с разных платформ?

Да! Вы сможете играть со своими друзьями и соперниками независимо от выбранной ими платформы. Мы будем поддерживать эту возможность для macOS и Windows и планируем делать то же самое для нашей мобильной версии игры, релиз которой в настоящее время запланирован на этот год.

Как осуществляются внутриигровые покупки?

Точно так же, как и в нашем клиенте для Windows. Транзакции будут осуществляться по той же схеме и оформляться в игре через наш клиент.

Куда я могу обратиться, если мне нужна поддержка?

Если у вас возникнут проблемы с загрузкой, установкой или запуском клиента для macOS через интернет-магазин Epic Games, обратитесь в службу поддержки магазина.

Bringing MTG Arena to More Players and Places This Winter

Posted in News on August 19, 2019

By Wizards of the Coast

At Gamescom today we were excited to announce that we’ll be bringing MTG Arena to millions more players around the world. And that all starts with Epic. This winter we’ll be partnering with Epic to bring MTG Arena to the Epic Games Store on PC, and shortly after we’ll be introducing a Mac version. We’ll have more info on both as we get closer to the release dates.

What does this mean for existing players?

Nothing changes for anyone currently playing Magic: The Gathering Arena. When MTG Arena launches on the Epic Games Store, it will continue to be available for direct download from MTGArena.com. Existing players on the Wizards platform will not be required to create Epic accounts.

Will MTG Arena be exclusive to Epic Games on PC?

We are thrilled to be partnering with Epic to expand Magic‘s reach to new gamers from around the world. The Epic Games Store will be our exclusive third-party PC download partner (you will still be able to directly download the game from MTGArena.com).

Can friends play together if they download via the Epic Games Store or directly through the MTG Arena site?

Yes, you will be able to play with one another regardless of where you downloaded the game.

What about other platforms?

The plan has always been to bring MTG Arena to millions of players around the world. Currently, we’re fine-tuning the game during its Open Beta on PC, but bringing the game to the Epic Games Store will be a great first step in taking Magic to new places.

After our launch on Epic, we will follow shortly after with a release for Mac.

In the meantime, if you haven’t yet tried MTG Arena, now is a great time to get started. Simply visit MTGArena.com to learn more and download the best way to play digital Magic.
