Has anyone managed to host on a Mac?
 
And if so, which version of Mac OS and hardware were you using? I've been able to host games on my G4, but it tends to crash a lot. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

Argitoth had the same situation when he tried to host from his Mac. He finally gave up in frustration, I believe.

I've managed to host on Mac several times.

Intel iMac with Leopard (different point versions). Crashed once in one game, I think...

Dominions crashes for me on my Mac quite regularly. So I would not try to host on it. It is an old G4 Mac though. It may be that the newer Intel based Macs are more stable.

Earlier versions crashed also due to that "crash when clicking on already selected unit" bug, but after .15 (I think) it has been quite stable. Still occasionally can't do shift-click to select a line of troops in army setup screen, don't know what causes that.

Dom3 is fine on my Mac with Leopard, I just can't use de map editor (crash every time I want to save)

I have never hosted a server game on my Mac, but that's because of the router issue. The map editor works fine. It's a G5 iMac with Leopard. The game has not crashed for quite a while since they fixed a few bugs way back when. Hosting PBEM is simplified with an Automator script.

PashaDawg, could you please check the modding bugs in the shortlist that are marked as Mac-specific? The carious #clear commands? Because I have no way to verify their status as I don't have a Mac. Would be nice to see either way, preferably so that I could remove them from the shortlist.

If it's anything like the PC, it happens only when you're viewing it through "y" and not "t". (I.e. units moving into the province.)

Does anyone else running the game (either on a Mac or not), get "death screams" played while viewing unit information from the strategic map? It usually seems to happen after you've viewed a battle, and sometimes in conjunction with pressing command+escape instead of escape by mistake. It doesn't cause the game to crash, though it is annoying and creepy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif
