First: go to steam and download WINDOWS version:

Second: download PaultheTall wrapper here
Then open dmg file and put CK2.app in Aplications.

Click twice on the app and choose install windows software.

Then show a path to the steaminstall.msi file

Now steam installs itself. When it's done just fill all the forms and go to the CK2 tab and click download.

It will download 900MB of data. Then click Play it will install more MS software.

Now quit steam. Click Wineskin icon and choose ck2.exe

Quit Wineskin. go to Applications and start CK2.app ENJOY!

If You have any problems with full screen - just go to settings.txt file and change fullscreen to no and substract from height of Your screen 46px.
Thanks and now lets all of us pray for a HD3000 patch!

I got a 2011 MBA too. I haven't tried using this guide, but won't CK2 make the MBA run insanely hot?

You are right it running hot: so when I'm playing I use special stand to keep it cooler - then it's ok.

Self design stand - my friend has a professional laser to cut PVC so I did my own stand - cool looking cause it's transparent
There are several good stands on the market to cool laptops.

Early '11 MBP, no real temperature issues, runs at around the same temp as EU3, Vic2, etc. And apart from the odd texture flicker and a texture artefact problem upon starting the game that can be fixed by zooming out/in, runs pretty much perfectly.

It's exactly as I wrote above: "If You have any problems with full screen - just go to settings.txt file and change fullscreen to no and substract from height of Your screen 46px".

It works great! I don't have problems with overheating the videocard.

I've got a question: How can i use the 'mod selection' screen before starting the game. With this wrapper it disappears.
I would like to test some mods if that is possible. Can you help me?

Very grateful for this thread! Was tearing my hair out when I couldn't get mine to work. Any idea how to fix the flickering colours?

This is awesome, thank you so much!

Is there a way to get mods to work with this? I don't have the launcher appearing before the game starts.

Thanks to you, though, the game is actually starting and playing well...
