I'm not sure if this applies but I'm just going to inform you. I'm a power mac user and I've been able to mac a working copy of XR for mac but there is one major set back that I'm not sure if it's my bad or a bug on XR. Everytime the warm up ends on a game (excluding XR servers) the game attempts to download the map.. but the download title thing on the bottom of the paper map thing just blinks and stays that way. I can disconnect, then reconnect and it will download the map correctly and i'll be able to play.

Again, I'm not sure if this is a lagit bug because I'm running a mac version of the game.

I'm interested what software you used to get XR working on mac?

Okay, I'm not going to bother flipping through that whole list of bugs.. well, I flipped through a few of it anyway.

With a ATi 4870, it seems that I can't load Samurai maps (havn't yet been able to try normal XR, only SFE and smurai). It gets stuck on /tori/tori_normalmaps.tga and proceeds to prompt to save a crash log (without minimizing!). Very, very crippling bug.

I used an app called "crossover" to install the .exe installer to a specified folder.. then i used another app called "cider" and turned the folder into a .app program
quiet simple.

Weird error:



I tried several times by restarting the programs and its doesn't work. My internet connection is working fine, and I'm on a Windows computer.

EDIT: I made it work by making the program run in administrator mode but all my Savage settings are gone.

a) on vista u have to run it as admin
b) the issue with the lost settings has been discussed before - XR is not an add-on to your regular Savage (like SFE was for SEP). XR is a completely new game - you will have to copy your settings from your "old" Savage to the "new" XR one. And before you ask me "How?" --> Use search or browse 5 mins. through the tech support formus - u will find the thread where it's explained

K i got a few bugs i encountered while playing

1. Units start dissapearing and my sound goes crappy at the same time. Takz started a post about this with sfe
and most people with the nvidia 8800 experience the same problem. as i have an 8800 gts, it happens to me 2.

2. When a sub dies, it stays on my spawnselection screen for like 5 minutes, very annoying. same is with flags.
3. i relocced and like half a second later i still got a tempest hit and died, dunno if its a bug but maybe the relocating and the hitbox dissapearing needs to be adjusted?

4. My sound goes bad alot. i already tried increasing the amount of soundchannels but doesnt work.
5. My fps starts dropping around the game gets stalker/savage. doesnt matter if my minimap is on or off or that my settings are high or low. it drops at the same point in the game everytime. my vsync is on so i have a steady 60, but it drops to 30-40

thats all i can come up with so far. about the first bug. i had it with sfe 2 but i managed to fix it using Sweets V9.0 mod
but i cant play with XR as long as units keep mass dissapearing. its unplayable. so il be using SFE untill its fixed.

kk thx for reading my whine cry

xr seems not to save some of the menu settings such as the filter settings in the server window or the slider setting below the UT-Mod.

I have another problem:
The XR shaders (I use them only on my own unit), disappear after some time of playing.
And i cant recover them back, seens in the options it is still marked as in put the shaders on...

I hope you get what i mean.

A possible reason for this could be bug #262
