Tutorials/Banished on Mac and Linux

It is requested that an image be included in this article to improve its quality.

Even though native Mac support is not currently available, there are ways to have Banished running on your fruity computer.

Requirements

• Any Wine distribution for MacOSX - I achieved a running Banished with Wineskin but the critical tool is Wine, in its 1.7.10 version at least
• A DRM-free version of Banished, 32bits

Steps

1. Install your chosen Wine package
2. Launch the Banished installer using Wine like this: wine BanishedInstaller_1.0.0_x32.msi
3. Once installed, go to the drive_c/Program Files/Shining Rock Software LLC/Banished and rename VideoDX11-x32.dll to VideoDX11-x32.dll.old
4. In this same directory, launch the Application-x32.exe like this: wine Application-x32.exe

The defaults should work, and going through the 5 first tutorials went flawlessly.

Using Wineskin have the added convenience to transform Banished into a self-contained application.

As Wine is originally a Linux tool, this solution should work too.
