Hmm, I don't think so. Or at least no one's told me about it. Are you running version 1.3.0? Are the games actually marked as incompatible, or does Multiwinia try to connect to them and fail?
They appear as incompatible.
I've just tested this a few seconds ago and it appears to work fine. What version are you using, and what version does it claim their client to be (the INCOMPATABLE VERSION message tells you which version they are).
NeoThermic
Odd. I'm using 1.3.0 for both. The game says that is the version used on the incompatible server, and it is incompatible. I'll try one more time.
EDIT: It still doesn't work. Both computers are on a LAN. Is that an issue?
I'll post the image that the mac shows too. Hang on.
EDIT: This one is a bit better showing of it. I have the cursor over my game.

I'll see if I can ask someone at Introversion directly.
This has never come up before, but something similar has. But back then, the mac version wasn't a problem!
Ideally, for LAN games, it should still use the Metaserver's compatibility list. And it should really keep an offline version of it as well.
(In the mean time, you may be able to cheat by changing the "version" file on the Windows machine to that of the Mac version, but DON'T launch the game through the autopatcher).
