I can change the start-at-login behavior from the preferences, but the default (to start at login) is wrong.

I don't want an icon in my menu bar whenever I have the program open (at right), and I don't want Curse Client to start up every time I log in I just want to update my addons every so often. Foremost is its unnecessary invasiveness. On the other hand, there are still some things about Curse Client that do not please me. It does launch the client, but the addon never downloads and installs (despite the presence of a progress bar). This feature does not appear to work if you click a link while Curse Client is not open.

Being able to install a mod with one click from a web site is nice, especially for an addon junkie like me. It scans my directory of about 100 addons pretty quickly and fetches information on any release-quality upgrades (or whatever level of upgrading you set as your preference) that are available, downloads and installs them efficiently, and lets me get on with my playing.Īnother feature I find convenient is the ability to handle 'install via Curse Client' web links. However, if you can get over all that, it actually works quite well for keeping your addons up-to-date. It's got these weird tabs up top with icons in them, the main icons for initiating events are unfamiliar and un-Mac-like, and it summons odd progress bars that float on top of all your other windows in the lower-right-hand corner (odd progress bar depicted at right). The first thing you notice about Curse Client is that it just doesn't look like a Mac app. I've been using it to manage my addons for the past week in order to bring an informed review, so here goes. With the 3.0 version that came out recently, they finally have a client that appears to run (on Intel/10.5 Macs, anyway), even if it does display a wxWidgets error upon first launch (which can safely be ignored). The feature set of the free client is much more limited.Ĭurse Client for Mac has been a long time in the making. This review applies to what is now the premium Curse Client, which requires a paid subscription.

Update: Since this article was published, Curse has launched their 'premium' service.
