Did everything the instructions say for Mac download and it all pretty much worked until you try to open the game, it launches in wine and then opens the app (game icon shows on the bottom task bar and everything) game opens up to a black screen and stays there

I have the same problem. There is a bunch of GL-related logging that doesn't look fatal and then it just logs this over and over:

0308:err:wininet:open_http_connection create_netconn failed: 12029

Presumably it's trying to download some extra content or just check for updates.

 12029  is ERROR_WINHTTP_CANNOT_CONNECT which has something to do with inability to establish a secure encrypted (https) connection. Maybe the server it's connecting to has had its certificates expire or something like that.
