AH2 For mac?
« on: December 09, 2005, 07:01:21 PM »
Is there ever going to be a mac version? I cannot gain access to my windows computers anymore, and really love your game.Plus, if you made a mac version, you could gain more players and money because of the increased amount of users.


Im no mac expert (this is like my 4th day owning one), but from what ive heard, it would be very simple to make a mac version.

You may also want to publish linux version.

Please help a fellow out, i dont want to waste my time not playing AH.

Thanks for reading,
numberz.

In a word. No.

And thats not saying it to be sarcastic

Hitech  answered this very question about a year ago saying something to the effect that it would be cheaper for him to "buy a PC for every mac user then to develop a mac version of the game."

Those were more or less his exact words if I remember correctly

LOL Just did a search to see if I could find the exact thread he said that in.

Seems the search engine cant count

I used
Aces High for Mac Users
.1.......2......3....4......5

Keep getting a message that search terms have to be at least 4 words

I guess 5 is less then 4 now?

Hmm could be. Would fit in with the  "in two weeks" projections LMAO

Four 'words' or 'letters'?  That error shows word length, not the total number of words in your search.

The *words* have to have at least four *letters*. The search engine doesnt care for how many words youre looking, just their lenght..... that will make it very difficult searching for this thread, as the 'key word' has only 3 letters....


I ran into this problem myself a while ago... it would be cool to be able to search for entire "word groups" by putting them in quotation marks.

Currently it would be a lot of work to program ah2 so it runs
on the Mac.
Performance on other 3D games with the current macs is not good either, so i doubt ah2 will run smooth.

I can run it 75fps with max graphics and water on without a hitch. Lag is the only thing that gets me choppy.

ahhh ok. I misread its meaning. Well then it should say it is under the minimum letter  for a word length and not "Minimum word length(4)"

Personally for me it ran better before they added the smoothing

Have You tried the emulators like Virtual PC. I think, that should work fine with AH.
