PC version or Mac version
« on: January 28, 2008, 03:23:01 am »
Hello,
I have some questions about the game. 
Should I wait for the Mac version to come out or should I just buy the PC version?
I know that there are going to be no differences btw the two versions contents wise, I guess my real questions are:
Is the Mac version going to be upgraded fairly regularly as the Pc version? (different patches)
and also, is the mod that other people created compatible btw Pc and Mac version?

I guess, these questions are addressed more to you Alec.  Well, thank for everything!!!   I guess, thank to you, Alec and to you also Derek for creating this game!!!

The mods should be compatible. Also, both should be updated just as regually. Really, the only reason I'd have to wait is if your mac is faster then your pc/you use your mac more

And to note that you have to buyboth seperately, you cannot use the same key from the PC version for the Mac version, just so you know.

But I guess you already knew by asking this question, and like Zam said, just buy the one you're on most.

Thankx for the quit responses.

2 more questions.  Is the Mac version going to have widescreen support off the bat? When, I know it is in beta-testing soon, when is the Mac version going to come out?

If it is going to be few more month, then I will have to buy the PC version and install windows on my Mac....

Neway, Thank for everything!

The mac-version will get released until the end of March (at least that's the plan). And as far as I can see it, it will have widescreen support. :)

I heard from Alec in private that it can still take a few months.

But you never know with crzy Alec. :D

I'd go for XP over Vista. Vista is still kinda weird.
