Community ManagerHey, @Lazlo-IT. So that error is working as intended. Since the game is not compatible with Mac OS, it doesn't recognize that it has been released on that OS. Bootcamp would, yes, but keep in mind that getting a game to work on an OS it shouldn't is not a situation we can officially support. There are many threads on loading up BootCamp, but if that is not a route you want to go, we understand.
Cheers!
Hi,
Thanks for the reply!
I get why it could give that error given MacOS... But shouldn't EA App and Inquisition detect my system as windows? I'm on crossover/wine and everything work as windows, in fact I'm using windows EA App and installed Windows software... Everything else work as intended.
I know it's not supposed to work as intended given it's not 100% a windows machine and regular circumstance (and probably will run bad) but it was worth a try and I still don't get why it won't let me launch the game if everything is recognized to be Windows 10 and not MacOS...
Afaik the system time in crossover/wine is read from MacOS and can't be changed in crossover/wine, is that right?
Because crossover/wine is a compatibility layer and not a real VM this could be a problem.
Did you tried to set the Mac system time back by a week?
Thank you as well,
You are correct, crossover take the time of Mac system. If I change it beforehand nothing works since it cannot connect to the servers without the time matching the server date-time (I guess).
If I change it after the EA App launches it's the same... I notice that it took a millisecond more to give me the error popup but it gave me nonetheless no matter the date that I set. What makes me wonder is that it doesn't give me any release date inside the brackets, where it should. It also maybe unrelated but why I can't download the multyplayer contents? Can this be related?
Thanks!

Its possible, but we don't know the real culprit, so this remains speculation.
If you are not on an ARM mac I would suggest to try boot camp.
