For a better experience, you may want to use the [https://flashpointarchive.org/downloads latest version of Flashpoint for Windows] instead of the current Mac beta. There are two main options for doing so:
* You can run Windows directly on your Mac using [https://support.apple.com/boot-camp Boot Camp].
* You can use virtualization software such as [https://www.parallels.com/ Parallels], [https://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox] (which is free), or [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion.html VMWare Fusion].

If you have enough disk space, Boot Camp is the most reliable option.

If you'd like to use Flashpoint in Parallels, here are the steps to set it up:
# [https://flashpointarchive.org/downloads Download Flashpoint] if you haven't yet.
# Within your Windows environment in Parallels, run the Flashpoint installer. When it opens, select the Components you want to install. Components can be installed/uninstalled at any time with the Manager. <br> [[File:FlashpointInstaller.png]]
# Click the "Install Flashpoint" button. After Flashpoint is done extracting, open the Windows File Explorer.
# Assuming you did not change the download location, click "This PC" on the left sidebar. Double-click the C: drive, then find and double-click the "Flashpoint" folder within it.
# Double-click the "Start Flashpoint" shortcut to start playing!
