Hi and thanks for your response.Unfortunately the "mac support" for AA is PowerPC macs, but if your mac is from 2013 it's almost certainly an Intel mac. You can bootcamp Windows to run the game.
you're right, there was a pop-up. I actually didn't ignore it, I guessed my old Macbook would be "old enough" - it's 2013.
I got another one, an even older one, but I can't boot it unfortunately.
I have a macbook m3 and a windows VM for some applications for work so figured would give it a try for ya last night.That's awesome, thanks for testing it out!
Downloaded the 25Assist client, opened it which had me login then started downloading the files.
Once done was able to connect to the first server I double clicked:
Playing in window'd mode on the VM but running latest macos etc, runs super smooth with no issues I could see.
I snagged this laptop last year due to the insane battery life, can go over 15 hours on a full charge which is great for me always being on the go and cannot recommend enough. Rarely use the windows VM aside from a few old applications I use occasionally but overall works great.
Shows what I know. Never played this on a Mac. But I do recall the issues coming about regarding the inability to load the game when Catalina came around in 2019.Yeah I wasn't trying to correct you in any way, I'm just a HUGE computer hardware nerd and I find all of it fascinating.
So I suppose the compatibility layer we'd be looking for was Rosetta 1 - to allow it to work on x86 after having been built for the PowerPC versions of MacOS.
Though given that they dropped that in 2011, it's weird that I don't really recall seeing major issues with newer Macs well before the Catalina release. Though it's somewhat less surprising given I joined the team in 2014 (had to look this up, by the way!)...
Regardless, I believe my point that this is going to be hard if not impossible will still stand. But just with an extra step of hard...
I'm pretty sure there's a massive disclaimer when you're attempting to download the 25Assist client for a Mac. It won't work on any new or newish Mac.The Mac support AA 2.5 had isn't even compatible with old Intel Macs, it's for even older PowerPC macs. a CPU architecture that has been dead on the desktop since around 2005 when Apple ditched it for Intel and x86.
NICK!!! How ya been brotha, hopefully good. life has been very eventful for me, haha,As teddy said, I used to go by KiLLaMaN. It was a dumb name I created as a teen so I decided to change it a while ago. I spent way too many nights on the iL team speak with you, zork, monkey, zeta, hooters, and all of the crew. Some really fun times. The golden years of NA AA in my opinion.
PLAY!!!! I'm getting all the bob clan to come back and play as well. I'll be on later on tonight.
Alex, i don't quite remember who you are. but that don't mean anything lmao.
You use shoutbox as an example, yet the same person I mentioned (bumpy) talks shit in there, and numerous people have previously posted in that shoutbox what he has said in-game. Where's the concern on that one?Then show us. If we've missed something bad by all means call us out. We can only act on what we actively see and we can't see everything. You should absolutely expect us to do better just as we expect everyone to be better. This isn't some us vs them, we're all AA players and we all want this community to thrive.
I used a recent and controversial ban as an example. Additionally, you both casually omitted the part where the "victim" said joe didn't need to be banned.
Is AA still alive? who's running the show now? It is still Nick??It's still the same usual suspects that it was last time you were playing.
Edit: And since joe is such a controversial subject, even without using him as an example the issue of using admin discretion is still present. If you're going to ban for speech, provide a set of rules so there is a clear delineation of what is allowed or restricted.As Hellboy said (in much more professional terms than I will use here)
Let Spanki go. He's been watching his own interests all his life.Even if someone could update the map to add 203, actually getting the update out through Assist is another ordeal.
if MothaGoosE knows how to set the hospital again at 203--let him go!!
Unfortunately, this type of toxic behavior isn't isolated. On numerous occasions, I have encountered players who use racial and sexual references both in the in-game chatbox and during gameplay, which creates an uncomfortable and hostile environment. Despite reporting these incidents, I feel that I have been subjected to unjust treatment, as the focus has been solely on my actions, while those responsible for the initial provocations and offensive language have faced no consequences.
