wildboar Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Since CMAK there is no Mac version of Combat Mission. Any idea if there is going to be a mac version of CMSF?. Me and I am sure a lot of mac users would be really happy if there was a mac version. Cheers!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgars Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'll second that question. I'm still visiting these forums out of habit, but there's nothing that i can really discuss without having the game. Booting into Windows is not an option for me. So, i'm still waiting, but i don't know for how long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Steve wrote this in September: "We intend to release CMx2 for the Macintosh as soon as we are able to." I have no idea on when... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunt_GI Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi, I have been out of the loop for several months...is there any update on the Mac verision of CMSF not that the British Mod is done? I can't find any update in the forums. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 We're still working on it. Unfortunately, it's not something we can rush into existance. Our expectation is that Normandy will have a Mac version for sure, but chances are that sooner rather than later so will CM:SF.

H.W. Guderian Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I had a dream last night . . . I was able to play all the CMX2 titles natively on all my Intel Mac OS boxes. . . . it was wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabal23 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I notice you said native, but have you tried with the xp emulator? What was your experience? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogNative Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I hope the BFC "expectation" becomes a Normandy Mac version simultaneous with the PC release. Booty Camp or an evolved xp emulator may be a work around but CM is play for me. Dual Boot is not a deal breaker but CMX2 titles natively on all my Intel Mac OS box is a Dream Come True ... I hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.W. Guderian Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Cabal-two-three, Here are my test results with a 3yo macbook pro 2.0 core duo, 2GB RAM (1) Dual-boot "boot-camp" XP runs CMSF "ok" / "fine" / "enjoyable play" - my problem is that for reasons I won't go into here I can no longer have bootcamp on my mac =( =( (2) Have tested with Parallels 2.2 (old) and no luck at all getting CMSF to run (3) Have tested with the "new" Parallels 4.0 w/ XP and can ALMOST get CMSF to work . . . but not quite - Video issues. I believe - BUT DON'T KNOW FOR SURE - if I had more RAM, and could increase the settings under the emulator, then P4.0 could run CMSF? My problem is my Macbook pro is rev 1 and can't take more RAM =( =( So, if you have an intel OS X box with 4GB RAM or so I'd download the FREE P4.0 trial version and test out CMSF after you have setup the virtual-machine with maximum RAM and Video RAM. Me . . . I'm stuck in this foxhole without CMSF . . . dreaming of future victories that smell like Native OS X CMX2 in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogNative Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Here are my test results with a 1 yo macbook pro 2.5 core duo, 4GB RAM, 512MB video ram. Tried the VM Fusion 2.0+ free trial. Got the need to update Open GL drivers message. CMSF did not start. Is there any way to update Open GL drivers to meet the VM Fusion 2.0 requirements :confused: I will try Parallels 4.0 free trial and report. Yes dual boot "Booty Camp" is a double kick in the booty. The smell of Native OS X CMX2 in the morning will be a more pleasurable double espresso. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.W. Guderian Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Go Cog! Thanks for the feedback. I'm really curious if with that extra RAM you can tweak the P4.0 settings high enough to get a better result . . .Hmmmm? God . . . if that worked my credit card would likely leap out of my wallet and run all the way to the Apple store and buy a new MB pro. All you moaning about how crappy the AAV's are consider those who CAN'T EVEN RUN CMSF . . . I'd happily play an AAV vs T-90 scenario for the next month if I could just get CMSF to run on my puter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogNative Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 HWG, Welcome. P4.0 will get tested. As you and other Apple folks know (and BFC after Apple's corkscrewing them in CMx1) native OS function, while not a deal breaker is a deal maker for the curious. How many $$$ that makes for BFC is questionable at best. Won't stop Apple folks from asking for our native share of the CMX2-3 pie. IMO Apple's Booty Camp as a sure way to sell more Apple CPUs. I know of several folks who switched because they found OS X easier to live with. They do not play games though. If the emulators could evolve enough to do the CM deal then fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunt_GI Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Any bones on this topic? It's been awfully quiet lately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Not really. For what its worth my current MacBook Pro (and my earlier one too) runs CM:SF quite well under Win XP Pro and Boot Camp. Still working on getting a "pure" OS X version from the inside though, but not much update on Steve's comments of what 25 days ago (and 25 days is a heartbeat is developing a module let alone a complete porting for a different OS - no matter how closely coded it might be). You can draw some comfort from the fact that there are about 10 people on the Beta team who are either currently testing CMX2 on Macs (but running Windows via Boot Camp, CrossOver, Parallels, Fusion, etc.) and they all want to run it / do their testing without having to boot into Windows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunt_GI Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks Major, So would you recommend just taking the plunge and plunking down the $25 for the USMC module? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Well IF: 1. You have a suitable machine 2. You have a copy of Windows (I can only say XP Pro works - can't comment about Vista). 3. You have a copy of CM:SF (you need this baseline to run the USMC module) Then I'd say "yes" as while it has been said there will be a Mac version, I'm not sure when it will come out (I'm also unsure if it will cover CM:SF + USMC + UK + NATO or just pick up with Normandy. I'd prefer the former and happily the Mac CM:SF and Mac modules again as well as Normandy, rather than not get it as an option). I think $25 is a small price to pay for some enjoyment now rather than waiting 6, 12, 18 mths ... and spending $25 to get a Mac version. Its your $25 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 We're definitely going to have a Mac version at some point. Hopefully sooner than later. I can't say when, other than it's an ongoing effort. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Good news. I am ready to rebuy CMSF for Mac OS X and all modules (hopefully many, long life to CMSF :cool:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yes; please do keep working on an OSX native version; sad to say that I'm not playing CMSF much anymore, because my time is limited, and when you only have 1/2 hr. or so to play, booting over into Windows and back cuts into that significantly. Used to be, I was booting over into Windows a fair amount for other programs as well. Now, pretty much everything else I use is OSX native, so I see the Windows side of my HD only rarely. Cheers, YD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunt_GI Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 All, Thanks, I am just picking up CMSF again. There is lots of cool stuff for the USMC module, so I may just pick it up now and then rebuy everything for MAC, just to make sure the Battlefront guys have enough beer money! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
