mojave on mac and BA2

[domblas]

Hello team,


I just uploaded the Mojave new system on my mac and BA2 seems not to work anymore. Do you have any explication and suggestions ?

Unfortunately I am guessing that Apple have removed support for 32 bit applications in this version of the OS? They don't seem to care about supporting the applications that people have paid for if removing such support makes their life easier in developing their OSes.

Cheers

Any chance that a 64-bit update to BA or BA2 could be made available to us loyal fans? I love the game and would hate to lose it.

I'm afraid not.

If you wish to keep playing the game you will need to do so on a Mac running 10.14. Please note that you can create a separate APFS volume with macOS 10.14 Mojave on your computer:

Alternatively, you can also install Windows via Boot Camp:

Dear slithering team,
i can't play anymore BA 2 while you didn't adapt your system to 62 bits. Sad, because i loved the game and was a regular player since 2015. I wouldn't have bought it for iOS if i knew you wouldn't follow system changes.

You can still play the game if you partition your computer into a 32 bit Mojave or earlier and a 64 bit partition for Catalina. The instructions are all over the internet for example https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/p ... c-3619175/ One benefit is that your don't have to erase your hard drive to partition. The issue is space on your hard drive, my advice clear out all of your old dmg's you have downloaded.

Btw, the upgrade to Mojave blew up many 32 bit programs. My BA one still works, but my SimCity $ does not. Apparently the change in the file structure was very destructive to som programs.
