Project Zomboid works great on a Mac, but only when not running in a browser as far as I can tell.

== Playing without browsers ==
== Running Project Zomboid on MacOS ==


First, make sure you have logged in at least once with your account details using Safari, so that you have downloaded the client.
# Head to the Project [https://store.steampowered.com/app/108600/Project_Zomboid/ Zomboid Steam Page on steam]
# Install the game (Must own the game)
# Click Play!


Next, open TextEdit (In /Applicatons) and create a new file with the following text:
== Offline/Online mode ==
#!/bin/bash
DATA=$HOME/Library/Caches/Java/cache/lwjglcache/cloud.projectzomboid.com/ProjectZomboid;
java -Xmx1024m -Djava.library.path=$DATA/natives -cp $DATA/zombie.jar:$DATA/lwjgl.jar:$DATA/lwjgl_util.jar zombie.GameWindow


After you paste in the text, click on '''Format''' in the menu bar and click '''Make Plain Text''' (unless the file is already in plain text). Then save the file as '''ProjectZomboid.command''' in the location of your choice. Next open Terminal.app (In /Applications/Utilities). Type in the following text '''and make sure you leave a space at the end''':
Project Zomboid offers both online/offline gameplay. The only difference between the 2 is whether you can connect to online multiplayer servers.
chmod u+x
Then '''drag the ProjectZomboid.command''' file from the Finder in the Terminal window, which will paste the path to it, then '''press enter'''.


Please remember that when you use this method your version of Project Zomboid will '''NOT''' auto-update, and you will have to login again using Safari to update your client.
Steam will only allow you to play offline (single-player) or online (multi-player) if you have installed the game prior.


Now ProjectZomboid.command can be started by double-clicking on it in the Finder.
