click "download now" in the path of exile home page, download the installer, open it ( follow the instructions if there will be any ) and the game, after a few minutes, will be automatically downloaded

if you don't see "download now" in the home page, it's because you must register before you can start to download it

Go to the wineskin website...

Hit the + sign at the engine list, and select the engine you want to install and click install. It will download and install the engine and be ready to use. If you are looking for a specific engine, you can use the filter to show only the ones you want, since there may be a lot of engines.

You can also hit manual downloads button in Wineskin and go to the website where you can manually download and install engines as well.

There is a Wineskin.app in every wrapper you create.

To see it, right click (secondary click) the wrapper you made and select “Show Package Contents” in Finder.

You should see Wineskin.app there.

You can also run this using 1 of 2 other shortcuts, as long as your wrapper is not running already...
hold fn down and double click the wrapper, or hold down Alt/Option and double click.

i'm playing on a mac if that makes any difference?


Yes we are aware of that;

Right Click the App and view the package contents.

Open Wineskin, go to advanced and tools. Open Winetricks. Install ogg, and then close the app and relaunch Wineskin and click install software.

Select:
Path Of Exile.app/drive_c/Programs Files/Grinding Gears Games/Path of Exile/Redist/OALInst.exe

I hope this answers your question.

Known Issues

FPS Drop/Lags - When casting spell, encountering rare mobs, the framerate spikes - 2 causes:
OSX bug which is responsible for longer loading screens and unfortunetely there is no known solution for that.
Game is not preloading some monster effects = this issue is known to GGG, and according to this they are working on solution.

Game may open in small window, solution below.
The launcher may take a long time to allocate resources (up to 30 minutes) on first install
The port inherits the rare bugs which may occure on windows, so there will be crashes and/or graphical glitches.
The port is know not to run on some configuration by default with D3ERR_INVALIDCALL error (possible workaround below in FAQ)
Loading times are longer - this is OSX bug and unfortunetely there is no known solution for that.

4.0+ only - The game is little brighter than in other versions.
4.1+ only - The game is not compatible with AMD cards running on Snow Leopard and Lion
