And how old was that PC? I have a PC that runs the game at it's highest settings at 105 FPS usually, and I haven't had one virus with it. I run vista and even though it has really crappy with compatibility issues, I can still fairly easily work around most problems, The main plus about vista is that it is far more secure than any other OS. The reason mac's don't get many viruses is because PC's are dominating the market, hackers don't want to make viruses for OS's that take up 5-10% of the internet. But the best part about it is that if my PC somehow breaks I can fix it myself rather than having to send it back to the company and wait a month.

Yes vista did steal a lot of things from a mac but imo that's what makes vista just an alright OS and not something I love to use.

lol... then their was our PC...

it was so bad with the virus'...... the day after the virus scanner died [for the 2nd time].... it took 4 hours to get it to a point where i could download McFee..... it found 300+ virus' while i was at freaking school.... unless somone was able to hack the computer itself... it got really bad.... and we have had so many issues with our PC over the 2006-2007 year... we were like hell, we are getting a Mac

you know you can get 50fps on a pc worth £500. Well more like 70fps.

hey, 50ish FPS on Medium settings on the Mac is a ton better than about 10fps on low settings on the PC...

and Imperial, if ya have it in .rar file form anywhere... i can download it... the only issue is that .exe files are Windows only thing.... so i cant use it....

and i have already bought the Mac version of the game, we are not running boot camp cause we are tired of all the damn virus'

First Strike functions on mac. When we release the new patch I will look at if I can create a mac installer for it.

That is correct. The PC version of 2142 does not run natively on Mac.

In order to play 2142 on Mac, you have several options:

1) the easiest and best option: go buy 2142 for mac
2) Install a windows virtual machine (advanced users only)
3) Install windows on a Boot Camp partition and run 2142 on that.

Though if I'm not mistaken, the First Strike mod was made from the ground up for the Windows version of the game. First Strike may or may not work.

Anyways, im back now... but i have a MAC...
I can still download it, but the one issue is is that First Strike Download is a .exe file.... Mac's cant run .exe so im kinda stuck....
so if any of you have a Mac, can you give me the link of where to download?
if not, can you make a version of the mod thats fully up to date... but its just like all the files, [so it downloads and inside is just all the folders of the mod, that i can then copy into where it needs to go]
thanks! not trying to create a hassle, but its kinda hard... =/

I HOPE that if you researched how to make an installer for macs on a windows machine, and then posted here with your finding, then the FSDevs would make an installer for macs. I suggest waiting for the 1.2 patch though.

And if they don't do it by a week after 1.2 comes out, I will rar it up for you and put it on my site
Just pm me if you need it.
