Courtesy note to Mac users!! I ran Steam the other day after quite some time away from RS only to find that RS would no longer run. Checking out the mac-OS channel on our Discord confirms that as of macOS 15.4, RS will no longer run at all, and it is not likely that we can do anything about it. As things stand, 15.3.2 is the last working version of the OS as far as RS 2014 is concerned. Be advised!

Good stuff. Well, CDLC vary in quality, some are just that. But you can always use the DLC Builder tool to rebuild a file if it doesn’t have dynamic difficulty. It’s an algorithmic solution, so limited but most CDLC aren’t done by hand in detail anyway.

If you have any issues, just let us know. Give details, though, such as what you did, what is happening or not, precisely, so that we can diagnose. Good luck!

I think that’s right (on PC) and IIRC yiu no longer need a real DLC . My pal @ Sniper Reload3d will correct me if any of this is wrong. (I’m out of practice. But worst case you’d have to tinker a little.)

That’s a decision you have t make for yourself. Read back on this thread, we’ve been here many times. It is flagged because it alters an .exe, which is what malware often does.

That’s not really very helpful for anyone to diagnose your issue…. Best provide specific details of your installation and what you’ve done.

Glad 'we' were able to help! I've been asleep at the wheel lately due to work concerns and also since most queries aren't Mac-oriented, but @ Sniper Reload3d is very dedicated and works hard to help, so I'm sure he appreciates the thanks! For my part, I appreciate that you took the time to come back and let us know. Deeply appreciated!

If PC/Windows, you can always download the DLLs from my private site and do a manual installation. You'll have to pick the correct one, though. Here's the link: https://os5.mycloud.com/action/share/22f8a202-24e5-4d7f-82d9-d4cf4a8dcee8

Ok, thanks. I had sent a comment early on for him to search the backlog because I couldn’t remember the answer but I knew it was there. But I’ve been having trouble posting from the phone so I think it didn’t take. ive actually not used RS in 6 months or so and there have been no new CDLC of interest to me in 2 years or more so I’m getting rusty. Uni starts up again in a few weeks so I may get back to it….

Thanks, I saw that… but does that actually change anything, if so, what? My apologies for being dense.

FWIW, it's helpful to the next person (and to some extent to us) to tell us what the fix was....

Sorry for the late response. Since switching to a new hosting provider, a lot of things get filtered to Junk and I'm not used to that (and haven't figured out how to whitelist either). In any case, @ Sniper Reload3d has it right, that's the patch you want. Works fine on Sonoma. And if you run into technical issues from that point, I recommend going to the Discord server, #mac-os channel, you'll get the fastest response by the tech-savvy. Good luck!

Good luck! Hope they are better able to help.

Ok... I'm not a Windows expert (which is why I'm not offering more help), but it sounds like the issue is somehow at your end, as far as I can see. Maybe a virus programme interfering? I have just checked, and the link works just fine for me. Let's hope one of my colleagues gets involved soon.

"It" being what? your computer, maybe? Not sure why the website would say that. If you go up a little, you'll see a link to DLLs I host on my NAS. You could try grabbing that and installing the appropriate DLL manually until someone is able to resolve your present issue.
