I just heard that the new version came out and I went to purchase it, only to find that it's windows only and so there's no way I could even play it... Why is this the case when the game supports Mac and Linux versions? I'm not sure where to post this as I am unable to post anything on the bug reports forum for some reason.

Also these forums are nigh unusable. I'm getting constant "500 Internal Server Error" and I have to keep refreshing repeatedly until the page eventually loads successfully sometimes.

The lack of Mac (and native Linux), at least initially, was noted on the Kitfix Announcement thread. I think they regret it, but there was not enough time to get as much of the core new version as there is and spread out into the other codebases too.

They will happen, apparently, just not sure when. After initial release-day bugs are squished, probably. And then the bug-squishing-release bugs need squishing. Etc.

As am I. It isn't usually like this, I suspect the influx of interest (probably positive, perhaps some malevolence?) has significantly been increased by the release. That neither you nor I can appreciate. (I'm currently mobile, on an Android device... I'm not exactly capable of trying this out myself, just yet, either... )

I had expected an increased userbase, right about now, but it was whilst trying to see if my own predicament (500 errors/timeouts) was repeatable by and for others that I spotted your thread and (whilst it's replyable to!) thought I'd try to reply to it. Either way, I hope I'm explanatory enough, though I doubt I'm ultimately of very much help.

(I'm getting 500s and Server Connection Errors in posting this. I'll try again, without mashing the post button, then probably wait for the forum to settle before trying to interact more, today...)

My machines won't run it either (I need a mac or a linux version) but I bought it anyway, with the assumption that they'll get a mac version to me when they can. It is a great disappointment not to be included in the Steam release, but I can wait.

The forums do appear to be being slashdotted. It probably means good things, I guess, all these people wanting to see to forums and all.

Toady felt that charging for a product that he has to rely on unpaid volunteers to keep running was no longer a viable option.
So will make some cash (seems to have managed that) and pay people to do it. Will take a bit longer.

He's been saying this in the forums for years now, kind of surprising that people still managed to miss it...

I've been burnt too many times in the past on buying games that had promises of eventual mac releases only for them to never happen. So my current policy, is even if I support the creator, I never buy games on promises. I hope it comes out soon so I can buy it.
