INSTALLATION (Hopefully retard-proof..)
- Unzip
- Within the Jagged Alliance - Back in Action folder you just unzipped, double-click either Jagged Alliance - BiA (Nvidia) or (ATI) depending on your macs graphics card (Intel HD graphics choose Nvidia).
- Select "Install Software"
- Select "Move a Folder Inside"
- Navigate to the Jagged Alliance - Back in Action folder
- Click ONCE on Kalypso folder
- Click the "Choose" button
- When it asks for the executable choose "/Program Files/Kalypso/Jagged Alliance - Back in Action/JaggedAllianceBIA.exe" (important otherwise you cant change settings)
- You should be back at the install menu again, click the "Quit" button
- Now drag/move the Jagged Alliance - BiA app to "Applications" (only the one that you chose previously, not both)
- Double-click the Jagged Alliance app (within Applications)
SETTINGS (Important!)
Before the game loads you are prompted to choose graphics settings. I recommend 1280x800 with Multisample/V-Sync off and Filtering at 1x. If you have the latest mac (with decent graphics) feel free to set it at your native resolution. It's important to make sure you set refresh to 60hz. Now click "Start game" and enjoy!
