Notes

  • To remove mouse acceleration and make mouse feel "Windows-like" (Link).
  • To remove macOS's "Shake mouse pointer to locate", go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display, and un-check the Shake mouse pointer to locate box. [ ]
  • PlayOnMac instructs to install XQuartz (instead of using X11), this might cause in-game lag (it will ask every time you open PlayOnMac, just ignore it).
  • To edit taunts.txt / soldat.ini to your personal preference, open PlayOnMac, secondary click on Soldat and select "Open the application's directory". This will open the Soldat directory.


The setup might not always be such straightforward, and Mac-specwise, Wine -version may need to be different in some cases. Making changes through PlayOnMac UI is rather simple and user-friendly.
