Mac High Sierra Updates for Fantasy Grounds
The latest OSX update for Fantasy Grounds prevents Fantasy Grounds from launching properly. We have resolved this with the latest installer on our website but updating for people who already have it installed may take some manual steps in order to preserve your custom campaigns and personal data. For now, we recommend holding off on the High Sierra Mac Update.
Important: Before doing anything else, please make a backup of your FantasyGrounds.app file. Your custom campaigns and creations are stored within this file and you can access them to copy them over from one app package to another (described later).
Installing Fresh:
Use the Downloads > Mac OSX Installation and follow the instructions there.
Updating an existing WINE wrapper or installation:
- Locate your FantasyGrounds.app file in Finder or in your Applications. If you are on Steam, launch Steam, go to Games Library and then right-click on Fantasy Grounds
- Right-Click on Fantasy Grounds
- Click on Show Package Contents
- Double-Click on Wineskin
- Click On "Set Screen Options"
- Uncheck "Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D"
- Click "Done"
- Click "Quit"
- close All the windows
Fantasy Grounds Should now Launch
Copying contents from a backup copy
- On the current version of Fantasy Grounds, launch Fantasy Grounds and then click on the Folder icon on the launch screen. This will open a Finder Window and put the folder into the location where your custom content is stored. Look for folders like campaigns, portraits, modules, extensions and tokens. Make a note of the path within Finder.
- Right-click on the FantasyGroundsBackup.app (your name might be different) and then click on Show Package Contents. Navigate to the same folder structure as the step above to find your old Data Folder. The starting folder should include a "drive_c" folder within the WINE package.
