OK, I finally made OctoLauncher fully working on macOS without a VM.

Since WoWSilicon already works perfectly for the game itself, I only needed a way to run OctoLauncher for patching/updating. Here is how to achieve that:

1. Install Sikarugir and create a wrapper.
2. Install OctoLauncher inside it.
3. Set the Windows app to:

Code: Select all

"C:\users\Sikarugir\AppData\Local\Programs\OctoLauncher\OctoLauncher.exe" --no-sandbox --in-process-gpu --use-gl=angle --use-angle=vulkan

The flags are important — without them OctoLauncher runs but the GUI doesn't render.

I keep WoW in

Code: Select all

~/Games/WoW

and point OctoLauncher to:

Code: Select all

Z:\Users\<username>\Games\WoW

Then I use WoWSilicon as usual to actually launch WoW.

So: Sikarugir = OctoLauncher, WoWSilicon = WoW. No VM needed.

Thanks all for tips and help.

And community strikes again. I was notified of an option I missed - WoWSilicon during profile creation supports 3rd party launcher. You can just select OctoLauncher there and run everything seamlessly in WoWSilicon. I guess I can actually play the game now xD
