As long as the Wine version only runs for people who have valid keys, I of course don't mind if you share it. People should just not expect us to offer support for issues with Wine.


The previous was a quote from Joost, who has allowed me to share the Mac Wrapper for Awesomenauts. If you have any problems, message me, NOT RONIMO!

You will need:

A Steam Account with Awesomenauts Beta redeemed on it

Mac/Linux Newer Than the 2006 models (That's my rough estimate, let me know if anybody has anything definitive.)

My Wrapper

If you do not trust downloading the Wrapper, that is perfectly okay. I will link you to a tutorial on how to make your own, that runs the exact same way. Just comment and let me know.

Wrapper Download Here!

Instructions:

1. Download Wrapper from link. The Wrapper is a PC version of Steam that is run in Wine. Using this, you can install many PC games that will work totally fine, though I cannot guarantee that all will work. After downloading, you should have a .zip file. Double click it to unzip. There should now be an application named SteamPorts. This is the Wrapper.

2. Place the wrapper anywhere on your Mac. I keep mine on the desktop, but you are free to place it anywhere you find convenient.

3. Double-click to launch it. It will ask for your Steam login information. Afterwards, it will believe you are logging in from a new location. Check your email for the access key, enter it, and hit okay.

4. Go into your Library, and find the Awesomenauts Beta. The Wrapper already has it pre-installed, but in case it is not there, click Install. NOTE: If you do not have Beta access, you will NOT be able to launch the game. I repeat, if you do not have Beta access, you cannot play the game.

5. Click Play and enjoy! I have not tested all of the resolutions and settings, but everything should work fine! Let me know if you have any problems!

Alrighty, everything is uploaded and ready to be played! Thanks for checking out my Wrapper guys, even if it isn't the most advanced wrapper in the world.

Glad to hear it! This is my first wrapper that has worked perfectly, at least for now, and hopefully it will remain relevant in the future!

Thanks for using it! Let me know if there are any bugs, I'll be happy to sort them out.

It logs me in as you first time, I think that might be a little dodgy letting other people log in with your steam account.

Wait, it completely logs you in as me? No login credentials or anything? That will be fixed VERY soon...

Nooo... It doesn't log you in.

It just defaults with your username in the field. (at least for me)

I didn't get a request for a password when I started up, it even showed me your Steam Wallet and library, I logged out immediately though because logging in as someone else ain't cool.

Thanks for the download! I managed to get it to run for a bit, but unfortunately I'm using the 2006 macbook that it's not recommended for, so Awesomenauts runs pretty slow and causes my macbook to become some sort of panini press.

Well, thanks for letting me know Thane! I'm remaking the wrapper, only the new one won't have Awesomenauts preinstalled, simply because it was hogging up space in my Dropbox. The new one is simply Windows Steam in a Mac/Linux Wrapper. You can then download Awesomenauts quite easily.

Let me know if there are any problems!

Alright, so my username and password should be out of the system, let me know.

Also, Awesomenauts Beta is not installed by default. I thought maybe a clever hacker could get into the Beta without a key, so I am not including with the wrapper any longer.
