Hi,
It was my understanding that this game would be launching with MAC support. Is that still coming?

Yes, I thought the same thing. Seeing as it was originally available for mac, I imagine we are not alone here. Anyone try running this in crossover?

And in my opinion the Mac version is better for the themed menus alone.
If anyone has ever made a GOGmix on games with better Mac version, this one should sit right next to Fallout imho.

Huh? I run the old version in a win xp virtual box on my mac. Works great in windowed mode without music. Haven't bought the new one yet. Was hoping to run it natively.

I had a go at installing and running the game using Wineskin. Couldn't get it working satisfactorily.
- Didn't work well at all in fullscreen. Had to edit the registry to change the setting to windowed.
- In windowed, the gang pictures showed up in white. I would've thought they'd fix this bug? I was launching Chaos Overlords.exe and not the GogLauncher.exe though, so maybe there's some logic there? Couldn't get GogLauncher.exe working in Wineskin though.
- I noticed there is an IPXWrapper.dll there, but the original game supported TCP/IP, so I don't know why they put it there.
Guess I'll be playing this in a virtual machine until they release the official Mac version :).

The GOG version is all screwy in my winxp virtual box. I guess it doesn't like the guest addition video drivers...
