Sthomas1121 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Lets start this off without a hello. All the post and topics about this always get blown over but an unsuportive comunity. Though you all think the mac comunity for ATM is a small number it is not. If the devs would put work into getting ATS MP for Macbook the pay off would be on another level. I know me wining about it not being on mac wont get us anywhere, but can I get an update. Is there something I missed while spending more time searching a way to play ATS MP with my friends then playing? Is there a way of useing wineskin I missed? I understand that the mod is big and you guys think the workload wont show a pay out, but maybe try it for the next update or something. Give us Mac players a chance to show our numbers.

China-leitinG Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 This is a good suggestion, but at present ATSMP＆ETS2MP only supports the Windows 64 - bit system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthomas1121 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 That is what it is, a suggestion. If they gave ATM MP mac a chance at least once I think they will see how many mac users there are. Im also not going to stop fighting for it to get added till it gets added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhococo Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 If you check my ‘About me’ you’ll be able to see that I use an iMac myself when I (occasionally) play ETS2MP. Wine and WineBottler don’t work anymore after February 2016, as they don’t support 64 bit emulation (32 bit support for TMP was discontinued coinciding with the release of ATS, which doesn’t have an official 32 bit version- this saves devs workload). What you should do is use Boot Camp Assistant (Finder>Applications>Utilities) to install Windows 64 bit as a separate partition and dual boot with Windows. You could also try and use a virtual machine, but these have poor gaming performance in general). You can download a Windows Installation ISO (with a valid Windows product key- these can be bought for less than £5 from eBay) officially from Microsoft here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthomas1121 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 I dont think I should have to instatall a whole ISO to play multiplayer with friends. I feel this is somthing that the makers should give a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhococo Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I wouldn’t suggest anything right now in terms of Mac support, there’s a small explanation from a former dev in this thread: Quote 32 Bit support: This will not happen, 32 bit accounts for less than 8% of the Steam user base, and maintaining a 3rd platform that is being superseded just doesn't make sense. Instead of requesting this or donating for us to support it, put that money towards a new 64-bit capable computer (though a lot of systems sold after 2005 are 64 bit capable, you just need to switch to a 64 bit OS). Linux support: This is relatively often suggested, it's kind of planned but won't come anytime soon, this is due to the frequency of patches from SCS that makes this infeasible to maintain multiple versions of the mod. OS X support: See Linux support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Developer ShawnCZek Posted March 8, 2018 Game Developer Share Posted March 8, 2018 @Sthomas1121 I have Linux Ubuntu and I must have dual boot with Windows, too. It is not only for TMP, but you will also appreciate it for other games. And it would be hard then to keep updated both version (Windows and Mac) at the same time. That is also why 32-bit version was removed (as the linked topic above says it). Game Developer Discord Bot Developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
