OctoWow - Forums

Hey everyone,

I've been working on OMW-Launcher, a dedicated OctoWoW launcher for Apple Silicon Macs.

The idea is simple: download, update and play OctoWoW from one app, without setting up Wine manually. The launcher has a native SwiftUI interface; the game itself runs through the bundled Wine runtime.

What's included

• Client download, updates and repair
• Addon management, including installation from Git repositories and update checks
• Detection and removal of manually installed addons
• Mods, MPQ patches and game tweaks
• DXVK or MTLd3D renderer selection, Retina settings and an optional Metal HUD
• Dark mode and Liquid Glass on macOS 26

It's currently at version 0.1.0 and still in development. The game is running, but there are things left to test and polish.

Credit to matasarei for WoW Launcher and Microchip for octo-updater, which this project builds on. This is an unofficial community project.

Maybe i will release this some day, when people are interested.

Definetly interested!

This is how I have played wow for some time, highly recommend. Used to require crossover but now is completely independent.

Hi, I'm interested in trying out the launcher you created for Apple Silicon Macs. Could you tell me where I can download a release, or if there is a code repository? Best regards

I would like to try I aswell, everything else does not work for me
