Utimate Installation Guide
(Just a normal installation guide to Clip Studio Paint) Last update: August 1, 2024 for v3.1.0
This ULTIMATE guide will help you install Clip Studio Paint properly without any problem. And if you find any problem, we will help you fix the problem too! The aim of this guide is to be totally normal installation, legal, not breaking any rules, or do anything weird. hopefully o.o
Clip Studio also available for MacOS!
I don't have any MacOS so I can't exactly test this thing. The creator is the same as the Windows version, so I'm sure it's safe and works! I tested the ipad version from this source too and it's works fine.
But first please use the same version, v2.0. Download directly with this link (official from Clip Studio but older version to match it)
https://vd.clipstudio.net/clipcontent/paint/app/200/CSP_200m_app.pkg
Then download this file too

- Go to Contents -> MacOS, and replace CLIP STUDIO PAINT with the modified version found in the zip

- Launch "CLIP STUDIO PAINT.app" directly. (Do not use CLIP STUDIO.app, as the launcher will cause the program to crash!)
