Any fellow Macs out there?

[Kit Fisto]

Are there any other any other Mac players of swbf besides me and unit 33? Post if you are a Mac!

[Mr. Banthafodder]

I'm a mac 

[Kit Fisto]

So that's 3! Come on there has got to be out there! Anyone else?

[Unit 33]

Schtick, Verik and Pancho are Macs.

[SchTicK]

Yes, I'm a Mac. It's lonely be a Mac in a SWBF world. Does anybody ever play on GameRanger anymore?

[Mr. Banthafodder]

Well sometimes I check gameranger to see if anyone's hosting a game.
But what I don't understand is that whenever I try to join a game it is a "version mismatch".
What does this mean?

Yeah it's those (usually) East Europeans playing the 1.0 version.

[Mr. Banthafodder]

Is there a way to join their games?

Not that I know of.

I think it's a PC Mac incompatibility more than a version mismatch. I have never been able to join a PC hosted game. Could it be all PCs on Gameranger play version 1.0?

[Led]

Ah, Aspyr only ported the 1.2 version for Macs, so 1.0 is not an option for you unless you play on a PC and have the original CD release of the game.

[Kit Fisto]

We should have DC's more for Macs so that we can play more online! I know we have one tommorow...

[Kit Fisto]

Ok this is mega bumping but I feel like playing some SWBF1 online and I just got gameranger. So those macs out there! Want to play! Tomorrow at 3-5PM pacific time. I'll host a game, if anyone wants to join... It can be mod maps, or stock or whatever! What do ya say!
( if no one replies to this I'm assuming that no one wants to play on it so if you want to play, reply! )

EDIT: can i host a game without having to disable my firewall etc.?

[Mr. Banthafodder]

I would like to play swbf1 with you tommorow  but the problem is that I can only sometimes connect to the gameranger server ,and when I try to join a game it always fails for some reason.

I also can't join DC's because I simply can't type the I.P ( when I type M it says 8 for example, and I can't type dots!!!!??)

Could this have something to do with the fact that my computer is getting too old (It's a macbook pro 10.4.11)

A year ago I could easily join a gameranger MP game, but now it seems hopeless.
I don't see a direct solution for this problem so
so, I will just keep playing swbf1 with those stupid, silly AI's  .

[Kit Fisto]

Ok, first try this: http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=19 if you don't have it already. Maybe try to join a game and tell us what the error message says. And when you type in the IP for a dc you are supposed to type in numbers, not letters! I don't think it's because your computer is too old but it could be it. Maybe look in the aspyr troubleshooting Page for swbf...

[Mr. Banthafodder]

I'm already having 1.2 rev. A patch for a while so this is not causing the problem.

there are two error messages that I've been having:

1) it says: version mismatch (this has something to do with pc I thing)
2) when I try to join a game it stops counting after a while and only the background of the SWBF menu remains.
( this is pretty hard to explain so I will maybe upload a picture later)

I didn't have this problem back when only macs could host swbf rooms on gameranger.
So maybe I will still be able to join a game hosted by a mac.

The problem is that I haven't found any macs on gameranger anymore recentely.

But I forgot to say that I can't join your game today because it will be midnight here then.
And I will most likely be sleeping then .
