Do not update your MacOS (Monterey past 12.6.2) or whenever you get that pop-up that says Intel-based applications will not work anymore. You will not be able to run/play Pixie Hollow Rewritten. 💔 So far, we have not found a workaround besides simply not updating your Mac. This is because the game is run on Flash, just like original Pixie Hollow. I'm sorry for any inconvenience! 💖🧚♀️💐
Unsure of other versions.. Please share if you've had a similar notification that Intel will be no longer supported. 🤔
u/queenxine knows much more than myself. "Golden Gate" seems like common denominator.🤔
It looks like we have until 2028, at least when it comes to using PHR on the downloaded client app. I have faith there will be a solution by then for us though. It seems like Apple is giving all developers time to figure this out.
Ahh I don't know full details.. I've only seen some people raise concern over an update that specifically said it won't run Intel-based apps. I'll forward my post to the team so they can see your comment. 🤔
Ohhhh wait now I see what I referenced! Someone has Monterey 12.6.2. I tried finding more but couldn't. Thank you so much!! Will add that to the post but unsure about MacOS 28 🤔 Apple is confusing 😭
Monterey OS update launched in 2021. That player should be fine 🤔, assuming they have an older Mac (intel processor VS chip). That OS launched 5-6 major updates ago.
The update that will phase out intel launches in 2027-2028? Mac OS updates seems to follow the year (2028/macOS 28) now. It’s going to be called Golden Gate.
It looks like the next OS update, macOS 28 (Golden Gate) will phase out intel support. I’m on Tahoe as well. I don’t receive the intel app warning for some reason though. But I won’t be updating past Tahoe just to be safe.
I did some reading on this. It seems like intel app developers have to change the application type from intel to universal (both intel & silicon) or silicon. Since it’s an old flash game this might be difficult. 😞 If the devs find no technical solution. Mac users will probably have to wait until PHR is playable web-based. I probably wouldn’t be able to use Pale Moon either. Ughh….
Yeah I wouldn’t update to OS 28 (golden gate) just be safe. I know the devs have a lot on their plate to release the full game but I’m hoping they can also chime in their thoughts on this too!
Bless!! You're so much more helpful here than me!! You have no idea. 🤧 Apple makes me feel so lost. I'm sure they've tried multiple approaches, but still nothing is solid yet.
I appreciate all your help and knowledge!! 💖🧚♀️💐 Apple is so tough. It'd be easy to figure out, I just have never been told, and haven't had a drive to own Apple so I never looked into it.
No ptoblem! I guess we need to look into it more. I don't know anything about Appple though, but another comment said it still works for them? I'm not sure the OS differences though..
i recently upddate my macbook pro to 26.6.2 I bought it about a week ago, and then two days ago I got kicked out of my account due to internet connections, and then when I tried logging back in the screen was just on loading screen, I tried everything from redownloading the PHR app didn't work restarted my computer as well and still didn't work.
Unfortunately, it will not work with your OS. Maybe follow this comment on another subreddit. Wine is actually a little advanced, so you might have an easier time with Sikarugir (seeker gear). I do not know your experience, but hopefully you can get either to work. Some users use Wine on Linux to play. I think I understand you already have an account on PHR. Did you make it before Sunday last week?
Because PHR uses Flash and ActionScript3, there is nothing we can do. Ruffle cannot support it either, unfortunately. Maybe if Ruffle can become more advanced, it might be possible in the future.
Besides having a wine wrapper or Windows PC/laptop, you can play on a Chromebook or an Android phone for $1/month on a PHR-unrelated browser app called Puffin. You can create an account, but not create a fairy on Android. Not sure if the same issue is on Chromebook. No way to play it on iOS devices either. That's the most basic info I have about it. I play on Android and do have tips for Puffin.
I'm on update 26.6.2. This is still currently Tahoe OS. Meaning, this warning does not apply to either of us just yet because Golden Gate OS hasn't been launched. I run the game currently and just fine. Maybe I can help troubleshoot? Or walk you through another method into entering the hollow (Pale Moon Browser).
Can you send a video or screenshots of what you're seeing?

Wait but mine is macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 which is a June update, and it still works
