Catalina software update and Big Fish Games

Sadly everyone who upgrades to Catalina will have this problem. I believe Apple announced about a year ago that they would drop support for 32 bit apps in Catalina (sadly, that includes BigFish). The BigFish site just says they are working on the problem, but my guess is that the Mac is not a priority for them and, given that they had 12 months notice and they still have nothing other than a vague "we're looking at it" statement, you will probably not see any support in the near future, if at all.

My recommendation is that you either find a new game (in which case your investment has just become worthless) or you restore Mojave on your Mac. You can do that from a TimeMachine backup, or by completely re-installing from scratch, however, this will completely wipe your disk.

Sorry for the bad news.

They haven’t even updated their Game Manager to 64 bit yet. It looks like they aren’t really doing squat to update anything. I’m expecting that once I move to os Catalina, that it will be the end of the road for Big Fish Games.

I am trying to get Apple to admit they haven't done anything in the App Store. I purchased a game that said it would run on my Mac but it didnt. I received a refund but now I am search for some games to play to replace the 10 games I lost switching to Catalina. But the App Store doesnt specifically say any of the games are 64 bit. I have lost my two favorite games one of which is CIV IV, and they have no intention of upgrading to to 64 bit. What can I buy and play? Anyone know? thx

I have the same problem. You can use and create an account with MacGame store , they have put a 64-bit badge next to compatible games - some Big Fish - not a lot there, but some at least. Now just have to stop Big Fish account from taking money each month. Good Luck !

Try the same as below : I have the same problem. You can use and create an account with MacGame store , they have put a 64-bit badge next to compatible games - some Big Fish - not a lot there, but some at least. Now just have to stop Big Fish account from taking money each month. Good Luck !

this is the biggest mistake apple in its history has made its not only big fish games its Microsoft office ect.

so if you dont upgrade to Catalina whats your option not upgrade at and end being out dated

and not be able to use new developments

matbe chane to microsoft compunter best for all users

Sorry about late reply. Mac Store seem to be getting more 64bit games, when you get them, they are ‘Big Fish’ . I always go to recently added section. Luckily I have a couple of old macs and iPad, so can still play on those if needed.

can we hope??

I am unable to open my purchase of Tyranny: Archon Edition with expansions. I am really unhappy about this!

any updates with big fish games and the 64 bit games with mac???

i want to play ny games of bigfish games....

i have tried everything even purchased 64 bit games but don't run either

so reinstalled from back up and Catanlia gone all is good

I think that its a shame, to even have to consider doing that... I have no back up!
