Greetings noble Janitors!
It's been a long time coming, but we've finally released the official OS X build for VCD.
This is version 1.091, and includes all of the same game features as the PC version.
A lot of work has gone into making it as good as possible. We've fixed many problems we initially believed impossible, but regrettably there are still some we could not solve. Foremost among these is the lack of Steam integration. This issues has been persistently difficulty to fix, but we're still looking into it, so with any luck we'll have that sorted in the future.
I'm hesitant to make promises, so if the idea of the missing features puts you off, that's understandable. We just want everyone to be clear on what they're getting.
Here is what port looks like:
- Gameplay - Same as PC
- Visuals - Same as PC
- Audio - Same as PC; missing reverb in levels.
- Fullscreen - Defaults to Windowed; requires window switching to achieve fullscreen.
- Multiplayer - Working; missing Steam MP, but works with direct IP
- Achievements - Not working.
- Steam Workshop - Not working.
- Cross Platform MP - Not working.
Essentially the game itself works perfectly, but it's lacking Steam features.
This has been the single most difficult thing to fix, it has resisted all our attempts to rectify it. This is in large part due to the Steam integration and OSX support in the Unreal Engine we are using being out of our reach.
One last word on multiplayer. We have tested it a fair bit, and online and LAN connections work. Unfortunately you will need to port forward and connect via direct IP to host and join online games, so it's a little more cumbersome than the PC version.
That's pretty much it everyone!
