Loki Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What about a Mac version? When do we see one of these again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonpanzer Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Awesome! Cant Wait! Is there some patch notes somewhere that addresses the things updated? Was wondering about the date crash bug, but didnt want this thread to turn into a did you fix or work on this yet thread, so patch notes would be cool if available.

Chris Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Loki - there's an announcement about the Mac versions in the patch notes for it, that will appear later this weekend with the build. In short, the new version of OSX has broken all compatibility with the current and previous builds of Xenonauts. We're looking at it to see if it's viable to fix up all the errors or if the Mac versions just isn't possible any more. But we'll keep you posted. Neonpanzer - yes, the date crash should be fixed.

djlogue Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oooh sweet, I'm probably gonna give desura another blast this time since it is a bit easier on the whole game files stuff. I find sudden hanging while the game loads some animation or some text very annoying, I'm hoping the condensed version will resolve this issue.

GizmoGomez Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 In short, the new version of OSX has broken all compatibility with the current and previous builds of Xenonauts. We're looking at it to see if it's viable to fix up all the errors or if the Mac versions just isn't possible any more. So Chris, you're saying that it's possible that there won't be a version for OS X at all? What changed in the new version that messed things up so drastically? I've played the Alpha on OS X 10.8 before (a while ago), so is it a recent update to OS X 10.8 that broke it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yes, the latest version of OSX changed something that broke an entire class of textures in the game, and now whenever it tries to load one of them it just crashes. We're still looking into it but it's possible we'll have to withdraw the Mac version entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiorob Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hurra! Will old saves (from v17.52) work with v17.6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I doubt it. Old saves almost never work with new versions I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erutan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hmm, has anyone tried the new version in Wine? Luckily the game isn't very demanding in resources so running in a VM is fine, but that's still kinda annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah, if all else fails as far as getting it to work natively, wine could help. Like, an official wineskin wrapper or something. Or even have it preinstalled in the wrapper. I dunno, wish I could help more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpirson Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 it works in wineskin gorgeously on my mid 2009 macbook pro. It can be sort of hit and miss with wine on mac at times, but I haven't had any trouble with this game yet. I'm currently running v17.52 + Hotfix and wineskin made it work with no modifications or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnk99 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 it works in wineskin gorgeously on my mid 2009 macbook pro. It can be sort of hit and miss with wine on mac at times, but I haven't had any trouble with this game yet. I'm currently running v17.52 + Hotfix and wineskin made it work with no modifications or anything. Ditto. I also was easily able to make it work without any prior experience with Wineskin. There are no issues or bugs that weren't already a problem when I was running it on my PC desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 So, it'll work in wine with a generic wrapper then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
