RS Games client now available for macOS Catalina

Hi. Thanks for posting this. I thought they gave up ont he Mac client years ago. I'll grab it.

Is this a free app can I get it on my MacBook and. Can you put down a link

Well that depends.
Do you have Catalina on your macbook?
Can you use google and figure stuff out for yourself?
Man people that need their hands held all the time anoy me to no end.
Its common sense.
Look it up.
Do something for yourself for once.

Excuse me I don’t know who your talking to like that but if I were you I would shut up and yes I got the newest MacBook update I was just asking for the download link and if it was free so what’s your deal

I was not being rude that guy was being rude and obviously sarcastic to my comment

I went yesterday and it's the same software as they've had for years. I'm not convinced anything is new so I didn't download it. I guess the person maybe didn't expect it to work or something. I consider that abandonware along with the gameworld app from the diceworld devs. I'm glad it works for some, not interested though.

@4 what will happen if you will just send a small link? your hands will paralised when you will do that? what this user asked you? a milion? your house? he/she asked only 1 link. I don't get why you are like that. Not only you most of this comunity.

Hello there I went and downloaded the 64-bit version of the client and it does work When you start a game when you play the game that you started is a little slow but once you get going it’s fine

hello all,

when you go to the abobve link, it links to the downloads for all opperated. for Catalina, you have to scrole. select the link past where it says 64 bit.

Hi I'm new to MacOS and I have the last update but can't figure how to install the client. At the page of RS Games it says that just by coping the app file to the application folder, but then when I try to open it , a warning message tells me that the developer is not recognized and can't move forward.
Thanks in advance.

Hello wanted to say that to open it the client you had to go to system preferences and go to privacy and the lock the lock and then open the client it’s going to say that but Uber ride it and does it openI hope that is understandableb I hope that is understandable using dictation

A few questions one how do I download this and two I went on the Apple Store and I read some reviews about this app and some of the reviews are not good is it worth downloading on my Mac and do you have to pay for each game

hello all,

you only have to pay for games on iOS/iPadOSD. to get the rs games client open, first download it. then use control0option-shift-m to get to the context menu. select open. a worning will come up just press control-option-space on the open button.
regards,
Daniel

Hi, I was able to run de client but when I do so, my VoiceOver changes and as my system is in Spanish, the client loads a Spanish voice which in fact is not my default voice, and want to change it to an English one, but in the thing is that while running the client, I hear 2 voices, my usual VoiceOver voice and the voice for the client at the same time, this last one also in Spanish.

to change the voice the rs client uses go to system perferences?accessibility?speach and select your perfered voice from there. to open the rs games client, the first time there is a worning. then the second time you open it, of cojurse using control-option-shift-m and selecting the 'open'. if you need more help, just write more comments.

??? I’m trying to get this app downloaded by tonight on my Mac

There used to be an email list to discuss matters relating to the JAWS screen reader. That email list is no longer around, but some words from its creator, David Ferrin, that I feel may be relevant to this situation remain, and here they are:

<blockquote>[…] asking the list for exact instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order.</blockquote>

While you may not be familiar with downloading and installing third-party apps on macOS, your prolific posting on AppleVis indicate that you have some familiarity with using the internet. Your earlier questions about where to download the client from and the cost of the games could have been found by googling “RS Games”, which would have led you to the RS Games website, which would have had answers to those questions and any others you might have had.

Your current dilemma about how to download and install the client could also be resolved with a Google search. When I search Google for “download third-party apps on macOS Catalina”, I see many tutorials in both text and video format. While these may not be from the perspective of a VoiceOver user, with trial and error you could probably work it out, and if you were still having difficulty, I am sure that, just as David Ferrin’s message says, people would be more willing to help you if they knew that you had tried to resolve the situation yourself first. You describe your problems in a very vague manner, and it is much easier for people to help with a specific issue than if someone simply says that they are having a problem that needs to be resolved.

Finally, you appear to be using dictation to write your messages. It is possible that another reason that people are not offering you the help you have requested is that they simply can’t understand what you are saying as you do not vocalize punctuation, and it is difficult for screen reader users to understand messages that are not punctuated correctly.

Hi there! I just downloaded it myself, both to try out the new version, and also to see if I could help you figure out the problem you're having when installing it.
Here's the trick: When you've moved the app file to the Applications folder, don't open it as you normally would the first time. Instead do a VO+Shift+M on the file to open it's comtext menu, and select Open at the top of that menu. Then you'll get a prompt that says something like MacOS can't confirm the developer and you open this at your own risk, or something in that direction. Just ignore whatever the warning says and hit the Open button on this popup, and you're in!
This usually only is a one-time thing just to allow the app to open despite of MacOS not being able to confirm the validity of the app, so next time you can open it as you would open every other app in the Applications folder. Good luck :)

Hmm... That's wierd...
So when first downloading it, it should land in your Downloads folder by default.
Open the Downloads folder in Finder by hitting Cmd+Option+L. Once in the downloads folder, navigate to the file named RSG.app, or only RSG if you haven't turned on "Show all file extensions" in Finder options.
Once on the file, hit Cmd+C to copy it.
Then, hit Cmd+Shift+A to open your Applications folder.
Once you're inside the Applications folder, hit Cmd+Option+V to move the copied file to this location.
When it's done, find the RSG file in the Applications folder, you can usually find it pretty quick just by typing the letter R.
Once the file is selected, hit VO+Shift+M on it to open the comtext menu, and then activate Open at the top of the menu.
This should bring up a popup where you can locate an Open button by doing VO+right arrow several times. If you find the Open button, activate it and you should be all good.
If this fails, you should be able to find the file under blocked applications requests in System Preferences > Security > General tab. You might need to unlock the lock at the bottom to be able to confirm that you want to allow this app to run.
If this also fails, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas at the moment. For me it just worked after hitting the Open option in the comtext menu of the file.
Hope this helps :)

That's great news! Sorry, I didn't see your last comment before posting my last reply! :)
Nice to hear that it all worked out for you! You're welcome! Happy playing! :)

try emailing [email protected]. they also have a Twitter account @rsgames I believe. failing that, create a new account.
