Overview
This article or section contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.
- Also called: Mac Pack, Mac Pac, Valkyrie Pack
The Mac Special Edition was implemented with TransGaming's Cider Portability Engine, which acts as a "wrapper" around the Game Client, enabling it to run on Intel-based Macs running Mac OS X.

How to Install
- Download the DMG file from NCSoft's FTP Site.
- Double-click the DMG file to "mount" it (it acts like its own little hard drive) [1]
- Double-click the disk image to open it
- Drag the app to the Applications folder [2]
- After launching the app, it connects to the updater and downloads content, just like the Windows version.
Notes
- For those who were beta testing, Ghost Falcon posted instructions on how to turn your beta installation into a live installation. (These instructions can be reversed to change a live install into a test install.)
- The client will be available at no extra cost (as a download) for anyone that has an active CoH Account.
- Those who use the Mac Client will connect to the same servers as those connecting with the PC Client.
- It is not actually a full client written natively for the Mac; it is a "wrapper" program like Wine and CrossOver, but more specialized.
