I haven't actively posted on these boards since back in high school/early college (I'm 25 now) in the CMBO era, but news of CMSF and the promise of native Mac OS X compatibility has brought me back! I just want to say that I really appreciate the Battlefront crew's commitment to the Mac platform even with their limited manpower and the various hurdles that Apple has thrown their way (the infamous RAVE debacle). That MacBook model only shipped with 512 MB of RAM, so the 64 MB limit on the GMA950 was likely just a trade-off to try to prevent low memory from interfering in things like iTunes, web browsing, etc., given the MacBook's target audience.

This is disappointing.

Oh. I thought this was going to be a thread for SS bashing. Darnit.

Huh? Are you sure you have that right? I have the most updated version of the Multiplayer Test (0.9.91) and I played this afternoon just fine.

This just happened to me as well.

This is my thinking as well.

Seconded.

Because even with Boot Camp, a Mac user would still have to buy their own copy of Windows. Developers can't assume that their target Mac audience is all going to do that, just like they can't assume that everyone has Virtual PC. Plus, with Apple's limited marketshare, it's not like developers really need an excuse to drop OS X support. For the most part, the developers that aren't committed to the Mac platform already left years ago. [ April 08, 2006, 05:43 PM: Message edited by: SpaceMonkey ]

Hey...I'm in some of those shots! I'm famous! Woot.

Forum announcement with updating instructions

I didn't really take it personally, I was just irked that there appeared to be some kind of "one strike you're out" moderating philosophy for a game that's only been available for literally days. And with only 6 or 8 servers available, expecting to have a private party is just ridiculous.

I was just kicked off a server just a few minutes after joining. All I had done was place a few turrets before dropping in as a hovercraft. Suddenly I'm being voted on to be kicked. I don't remember who initiated the vote. WTF? Considering the beta has been out for what, a few days now, I'm sorry if I missed some consensus on gameplay etiquette. I would have appreciated someone telling me what I did that was "wrong," rather than just suddenly being kicked off.

I've been having the same crashing problem (sporadically). I tried turning off "Terrain VBO" as you suggested and I played for about 3 hours without any crashes. I'll email the log if it happens again. 15" PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Mobility Radeon 9700 w/ 128 MB VRAM.

Tom Clancy anyone?

I think you've fallen victim to the propoganda ploys that the Germans reverse-engineered from their experience at Normandy and later used themselves on the Eastern Front. That hamster is obviously an inflatable.
