| | |
| ''Nvidia graphics cards''
| |
| | |
| there are reports that Nvidia graphics cards cause several visual artefacts in game. Among them, vanishing, units and blue/grey polygons appearing as units are nearing build completion. Appears to happen with AdvUnitShading on. Will look into it.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ''Nanolathe issues''
| |
| | |
| occasionally the nanolathe spray may end up out of sync with conplanes, this is purely cosmetic and does not affect gameplay. (May be fixed in latest release; so yes, no if still there would be great.

| ''AI issues'' (--[[User:Elio|Elio]] 22:50, 7 Feb 2007 (W. Europe Standard Time))
| |
| | |
| Some AI are currently reporting the wrong version, yet still work fine. This will be solved it the next release. (Potentially having a AllowIncompatibleAI setting, because it can lead to crashes if they are genuinely incorrect.
| |
| | |
| Some AI can cause crashes, There appears to be some dylib symbol problems that could pop up; this is being worked on.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ''Audio issues''
| |
| | |
| Some sound files fail to have correctly stored their endianess, resulting in harsh staticy/currupt playback. A solution to this problem that doesn't disable correctly encoded sound files is being worked on.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ''Function Keys''
| |
| | |
| At least in windowed mode, some F* keys (like F9, F10, F11) are bound to system actions, and can prohibit you from using the spring key bindings of them, either alter the key bindings for spring or the system to solve. Command + F* key also works fine too it appears, so that options there.
| |
| | |
| ''Other minor things''
| |
| | |
| Please though do post in the thread with info about anything; you may be able to provide the key bit to pinpoint the problem.

Status
At the present, there is a working, compiled universal binary for Macintosh OSX 10.4. However, this is still pre-release and is not yet ready for the public.
Network sync presently restricts play to between computers of the same architecture type. Cross architecture network support is being worked on but will have to wait till there's hardware to work with.
A port of the Unity lobby is being attempted (ease of installation is a major concern regardles though), as well as there being progress on AFLobby, but neither as yet are working easily. Therefore, play between two computers must be initiated manually via start scripts and/or command line.
See the Lobby_on_MacOSX page for details
