PvZ2: AltVerZ

Install on a Mac

Two minutes, once. After that the app updates itself and asks before it installs anything.

AltVerZ for MacPort 0.1.0, slim disk image, macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon

Download 56.1 MB

Steps

1. Open the disk image

   Double-click the .dmg you downloaded. A window opens with the app and your Applications folder.

2. Drag the app onto Applications

   Then eject the disk image; you won't need it again.

3. Open it, and allow it once

   The app isn't notarized, so the first time macOS refuses to open it. Click Done, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway.

4. Keep it open on Wi-Fi the first time

   The slim app downloads the game's data (about 1.1 GB) and checks it before the game starts. The full .dmg has the data inside.

Where your saves live

With the app, in ~/Library/Application Support/PvZ2 AltVerZ. Updates keep them.

Bringing a save over from Android

With the app closed, copy pp.dat, pp.dat.bak, local_profiles and global_save_data from Android/data/com.ea.game.pvz2_auz/files/No_Backup/ on the phone into sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.game.pvz2_auz/files/No_Backup/ inside the saves folder above.

If it won't open

• "Apple could not verify…": that is the first-launch check from step 3. Use Open Anyway.
• An Intel Mac: the app needs Apple silicon (M1 or later).
• macOS 13 or older: the app needs macOS 14 or later.
