Editorial note: This page is extremely incomplete. Most of the text here is shamelessly copied without review from Installing WA on Linux. If you have successfully installed WA on Mac OS X (with wine or otherwise), please edit this page. You may revamp it however you see fit.

This page details how to install Worms Armageddon on Mac OS X via wine. Please note that, unlike in previous versions of Worms Armageddon, 3.6.30.0 and above require no special patches to wine in order to run satisfactorily. However, there is still a number of things you may need to do, depending on your configuration - and there are still some known bugs. This page should provide a good guide to get you started. Do not be put off by its length - much of it probably won't apply to you.

Getting started

Version requirement

First of all, you need to have a recent version of wine, as there have been some relatively major wine-side fixes recently. If your wine version starts with 1.3 and is 1.3.3 or later, or it starts with 1.2 and is 1.2.1 or later, you already have a recent enough version of wine to run Worms Armageddon to a satisfactory standard. Please skip ahead to "Using a CD" or "Using a disc image" for how to continue from here.

If you are not sure about which version you have, MonkeyKing, tell them how to find their wine version in OS X here

This should report your wine version. If you get an error message of some description, you probably lack wine entirely - in which case, carry on with these instructions. If your wine version starts with 1.3 and is 1.3.2 or earlier, or it starts with 1.2 and is 1.2.0 or earlier, also carry on with these instructions.

Installing Wine

Now, if you're still reading, you either have a version of wine that is too old, or no wine at all. Please find the subsection for the distribution you use:
