Same issue. Installed dotnet 4.7.2 via winetricks but here is what I get at best: Screenshot 2023-08-08 at 16 05 18

The mod manager is a .NET Framework 4.7.2 / WPF app. which is Windows-only unfortunately. I don't have a Mac myself to verify how to get it to run on there, so this isn't something that's really supported.

I've got it working on my M1 Ultra Mac Studio. Whisky 2.2.4 (37), GPTK 1.4.0 and MacOS 14.4.1

1 - Place "BG3ModManager_Latest" folder in the "../drive_c/users/crossover/" folder. 2 - Within Whisky, under the bottle you have your BG3 install, go to "Winetricks...", run the following tricks (Ignore any errors. You will have to click installer buttons) a - DLLs -> "dotnet7" b - DLLs -> "dotnet472" c - Fonts -> "corefonts" 3 - Go to "Bottle Configuration" -> "Open Registry Editor" and add the following keys/values a - "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides" Name: "winhttp" Type: REG_SZ (string) Value: "native,builtin" b - "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics" Name: "DisableHWAcceleration" Type: REG_DWORD Value: "1" 4 - Make sure you configure BG3ModManager correctly to use the DX11 version of BG3.

Happy Modding!

Dude, you saved my life! Had MM working but didn't play for a while, ended up reinstalling both BG3 and MM into a new bottle and it just wouldn't work again no matter what I did. If you don't see Avalon.Graphics in your Registry Editor under Software, go ahead and make the folder and continue on with the instructions for the DWORD value. Works like a charm! THANK YOU!

Hiya! I'm hoping to use the mod manager and script extender on Patch 7 on a mac, followed these instructions, and the game always freezes after a few seconds (even before I tried these steps). M2 Macbook Air, Whisky 2.3.3 (41), MacOS 14.5. Any advice? I haven't even tried using the mod manager yet, just vanilla.

@arzadu A vanilla install of Whisky will work with a vanilla install of the Steam version of BG3 Patch 7.

I haven’t tried 3rd party mod managers with Patch 7 since the first party tools and official mod support work well for most mods I’m interested in. Larian has acknowledged that mods requiring Script Extender are not supported at present through the built in mod support, but they are working on a solution/integration in a future patch. Here is how I got a vanilla install of BG3 Patch 7 working:

Add a new bottle to Whiskey and install Steam.
Using Steam, install BG3 (automatically installs patch 7).
IMPORTANT: Do not use Steam to launch BG3. It will hang forever.
Run the BG3 DX11 version using either the “Pin Program” or “Run…” option.
Apply Mods using the built in Mod Manager to your heart’s content.

Happy Modding!

Edit to add: Just use the Mac native BG3 patch 7 client. It’s out now.

@hypopraxia unfortunately that's what I tried first, and it didn't work (hence my digging around and finding this thread). I don't want to take over this thread, though, so I've gone to Whisky's discord to ask for more help. Thank you for the reply and help, regardless!

Just wanted to report that this works for Crossover as well! Had to manually install the .Net versions, but everything else was straight forward
