How do I update the game to version 2.18 (to play on servers) if I have a mac?

You will need to wait 3 days on average.

Uhm Update is already released. If Steam does not update it - try restarting steam.

Oh sry I did not read the Mac part - in that case I dont know.

I tried to update my mac, didnt work

Lol, guys, ArmA for mac is ported by third party developer. On average, after official update it is take 3 to 7 days (sometimes bit longer) to be implemented to mac version. That's it.

Are you sure that you can not update Arma 3 by steam
Can you read this website https://dev.arma3.com/ports

I have copie this tekst

"The Mac port is published as the Arma 3 main branch on Steam for this platform. If you own Arma 3 and install it on Mac, Steam will download the data for this platform. No special Steam branch needs to be selected."

They did something with an M_test version. https://steamdb.info/changelist/25671590/

But that is not yet at a release candidate stage for Mac it seems, like this last release in April: https://steamdb.info/changelist/23098670/

Funny, tried that too, but got really bad performance so I switched back to Mac.

All joking aside, it's taking quite some time now. Waiting for something when there's no perspective on how long it might take, feels even longer :-)

Well, we as PC users didn't know when 2.18 would come out either. It just happened.

Besides, many people complain about funny stuff happening to their game since 2.18. Maybe you should be glad they are still ironing out the bugs.

The problem is that I can't play on the servers without updating to 2.18. Last time it happened with the 2.16 update, but some guy here on the forum gave me a code to beta test rc-mac - RC Branch (Mac), after that the game updated and I played safely, but now it doesn't work.
Perhaps someone has some working beta testing code?
Is there some kind of support where I can write and ask about it?

According to this page it is as it is. You will have to wait until version 2.18 for Mac is released. That is the drawback of choosing an operating system that is less popular for gaming. https://dev.arma3.com/ports
