Problems with Mac versions of EU3

[boylerman]

I purchased EU3 Complete while it was on sale several weeks ago. Today, I attempted to purchase HTTT and Divine Wind, however, Steam told me at checkout I already had HTTT (which I do not). I checked out with Divine Wind and completed my purchase. I started EU3, and it is still the In Nominee version 3.2. I deleted the game and reloaded it, however I still only get In Nominee. If I boot into Windows though, my Steam client shows HTTT and Divine Wind!!!

Is there any way to check in the Mac Steam to see which DLC has been paid for? The properties tab when you right click the game does not have a DLC tab like some other forum messages have suggested. I am stumped on this one!

Unfortunately, Steam only has EU3 Complete on the Mac. Purchasing the HTTT and DW expansions won't apply to your Mac version, only the Windows version. You can play them in bootcamp, or through a Wineskin wrapper (that's how I handle it).

Any hints to getting it running under Wine/Wineskin? Is the performance better than parallels...this start to lag as more units get thrown into the mix.

Performance was really good through HTTT. It's much slower with Divine Wind - so much so that I've gone back to Bootcamp for EU3. It's unfortunate that steam doesn't let you selectively install downloadable content, as there's no way for me to keep a Wineskin install of just HTTT.

As for advice - I generally just followed the advice available at the Paradox forums for installing EU3 in Linux.
