mikehh9 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 As you may or may not have read anyone with a mac has to connect to someone HOSTING via mac.... So, can all the lovely people hosting servers let us know somewhere in either the title or the thread that they are PC or Mac ? thanks so much all.

rorschach Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Good idea. If I ever get an OSX server up and running I'll make sure to advertise it here with an [OSX] tag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 It would be greatly appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehh9 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Ya i finally bought the game for me and my son but we can't play MP cause I can't find a Mac hosted server Id like to do my OWN but I only see instructions for PC and Linux? I don't care if I had to pay money Id do it in a heartbeat. Love this game and am so happy its finally got the MP component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rorschach Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is it possible for mac to host a server in the current build? I'd hazard a guess at 'yes, kinda', since I had one running at the end of last week.I managed to log in okay and admin commands worked just fine, but it was a one-off and wouldn't run properly after that.Haven't bothered firing it up since all the build 25/24 hoo-ha blew up. The 'real Build 25' will hopefully resolve all of that, and then I may well launch my OSX PZ server exclusively for Mac users.Curious to know what anyone thinks about that idea.

Scyoni Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Is it planned for Mac to only ever be able to connect to Mac? Or is everything supposed to be cross-compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I think the best answer is "no client<->server OS limitation". I made a post about this elsewhere, curious what the response from the dev team will be.

Or is everything supposed to be cross-compatible?The current situation is entirely unintentional and will not continue in the future. The only limiter is who has what version of the game -- unfortunately, the online/server builds shipped to Mac customers are a higher version than that present in the normal version of the game.

I don't know how solidly it will run, but I can reserve 4GB of RAM so it ought to be fine.Once build 25 is properly up and I can test, I will know for sure.

mikehh9 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 It baffles me how this is still unfixed...They said 2 weeks and that was about 6 days ago. So I'm hoping by next weekend maybe ill be able to play the game? I have played single player before and I just can't get into games that aren't MP anymore. It feels like a waste of my time like its all for nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_BOSS Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 DYING for the new patch so I can play MP (OSX) - it's why I picked it up, it seems there is no one hosting OSX servers and if they are - I either can't find them or they're having technical difficulties. (I've been looking consistently ) Blackassassin0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluq Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm the same, I was happy that they had the MP option and I bought the game. As a mac user I expected to play it and try it, but no. Hopefully they can upload the build 25 with that fix so we all can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
