Mac Playability

[Power1x]

So when is TF2 going to get an update on playability on the latest macs?

I am just asking because I got a new Mac and TF2 isn't working. And I would like to know if Valve is planning to update mac playability anytime soon.

Nope, and probably never unless Apple's game porting toolkit matures to a point where you can play VAC secured games with it.

You will have better luck playing on Asahi Linux with Box64 once the 64-bit version of TF2 makes it into the stable branch. That'll most likely be the only way you can play TF2 on that hardware for the nearish and foreseeable future.

You didn't get a Mac just to play games, did you?

My old mac that I got back in 2013 was able play TF2. I only got a new mac because steam wasn't going to work on my old one soon.

Valve dropped MacOS support for 32 bit this january, which includes just about every valve game except cs2 and dota.
Honestly Apple should just drop the xcode ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I can only see the availability of steam on mac getting worse before it gets better.

In other words Valve has abandon us mac users.

It's hysterical that anyone would ever buy a Mac. There's zero reasons to spend the extra money on a computer that does less.

It's even more hysterical that you want to play tf2 on it.
