[Mac Steam Build Needs Testing!]

Well Xenonauts on Mac is just the Windows version in a Wine wrapper - engine issues mean a native port isn't possible. If you're reasonably competent with Wine or willing to learn I'd suggest getting the V1.5 files for Windows off the Steam Experimental branch from your friend and seeing if it works (or V1.09 from anywhere else). As far as I'm aware twiddling with Wine will fix almost all the issues with Mac Xenonauts but users often just want it to work out of the box, rather than have to do manual set-up work.

So I suggest you get the windows files from your friend and see if you can get them set up. If you can then by all means buy the game and everyone walks away happy, but giving tech support on Wine for an unfamiliar platform is very hard for us to do so it's best you try it out first.

So happy, forgot to report it:

Tested it, loved it, bought it!

I'm a happy Xenonauts @ Steam License owner!!!

OK Chris, thank you for the support.

I'll do just that. I'm not a WINE expert but I did try it before so I guess it won't kill me.

Best regards

Could you please tell me the current version of the game?

Let's be honest here: I could get the game from a friend but - call me stupid - I actually like to support the developers buying the games. That's why I currently own 124 Mac games, 138 Windows games and 76 Linux games.

I had the game on my Cart on Humble Store but didn't check out because I was afraid the game would't work.

I used to LOVE playing X-COM on my old Amiga 600HD and I'd love to get that back.

I do have an (old, second hand) Windows PC but I just hate turning it on. Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz, only 1GB RAM, the graphics card on that is terrible and it only has a PCI X1 port and an (WOW) ADD2/SDVO expansion port so... I hate turning it on as my Mac is perfectly fine for the games I own.

I've tried Xenonauts last night and... It didn't work. Version 1.6 or 16.1. I can't really tell. Got around the resolution problem by mirroring to the Apple TV and getting the 1920X1080 resolution but the screen was just misplaced as if someone pushed it right. I could,t really see them but I'm pretty sure there were some control button on the bidding right panel.

Anyway Chris, if you guys need any help for the Mac platform so that it can see the sunlight sooner, I'm here.

Hi

I'd LOVE to test this game on a Mac.

I've been wishing to buy it but since I can't find that much information about Mac development and the last time I've tried it it wouldn't work on my MacBook Air (my 1368X768 resolution wouldn't let me press the buttons on the bottom) this would be gold!!!

How can I test it?!

Thanks!
