drewshotsfan Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hi Your home page says v104 is available for Cold War, but it's not on your patch screen. The only patch available is v103 for Mac users 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The patch adds access to a couple Steam-based features, and Steam is PC only. There's nothing in the v104 patch beyond that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewshotsfan Posted June 30, 2022 Author Share Posted June 30, 2022 Sorry, you misinterpreted what I meant. I am a PC (Windows) user, not a Mac user. Your v104 patch only lists two files, one is a read me and the other is for Mac users only. There is no v104 patch file there for Windows users. I have spoken to others on the forum, and the Windows patch was available for them a few days ago, and they downloaded it. It has since been removed/disappeared. There is a competition beta test starting on 4th July, and participants need the Windows patch to be able to access the beta tournament 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Isn't there another patch coming Monday to fix the tournament scoring? Maybe the old 1.04 was pulled for that reason. @BFCElvis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scores were flipped. The winner got the loser points. The loser got the winner's points. But that has been fixed. The build has bee tested. Just waiting on the installer for release. Matrix and Steam will be releasing theirs tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled the v1.04 patch because I wanted to make sure anyone who hadn't installed it yet would install the soon to be released v1.05 patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Nothing in particular. It just seemed that for every other title there would be a major patch some months after release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffelmann Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 To be honest, I actually thought so too. To quote from Steve's 2022 preview post: "...Updated CMSF2 and Black Sea (1st Quarter) - both previously released Matrix/Slitherine CM Families will get the PBEM++ and Tournament systems as free updates. Any bug fixes and what not that have come up from Cold War development will be rolled in as well. " 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM is not available for Mac OS X on Steam. CM is PC only on Steam, as is the PBEM++ feature. I think that's what MikeyD meant. You're right, though - plenty of other titles on Mac OS X on Steam, just not CM. I've tried running Black Sea using Parallels Desktop and the results were unsatisfying. It works to a fashion, but the graphics are horrible, and it lags (a LOT). If I had a separated graphics card it would probably be better. That's not an issue on the Mac side, but Intel on board graphics don't work well enough on the PC side. I suspect the same would be true in Bootcamp (I haven't personally tried that), and that the issue is the lack of a separate GPU.

Maybe it is not as good as on windows, but playable nonetheless. You could try using proton on your mac as well. Needs a custom one, but its very easy to make. I just checked with the rumpenheim rumpus battle, it runs very fluidly, Its almost as if on windows. Maybe there is not even a difference.
