Using a Mac with the Wurm Online launcher

Using a Mac with the Steam launcher

Steam support for Macs

Using the shop through Steam

As a Steam player, you access the shop through Steam to purchase premium or silver. If you are unable to see the Steam overlay, you may need to reset the game to fullscreen (not windowed fullscreen). You may additionally need to lower your resolution. This is a Steam/Mac issue, not a Wurm Online issue.

Use of the mouse

Wurm Online relies heavily on use of the right-click. Some mice for Macs don't have more than one button or you may be using a touchpad. While this might not be ideal, pressing Control + click works, as does double tapping your touchpad.

Please see this Apple support page for some further info on clicking, if you are new to Macs.

Recommendations for playing Wurm Online

  • If you have a mouse with more than one button, this might make your Wurm experience easier. It's not required but some PC mice do work with Macs.
