Project Zomboid works great on a Mac, but only when not running in a browser.

Playing without browsers

First, make sure you have logged in at least once with your account details using Safari, so that you have downloaded the client.

Next, open TextEdit (In /Applicatons) and create a new file with the following text:

#!/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:

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.

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