Steam MacOSX beta testers required
We are in the process of bringing all our games to Steam for Mac OSX, and need some help testing our new builds. Anyone who has bought our games on Steam will automatically gain access to the Mac OSX versions free of charge once they are finished.
We currently have Uplink and Darwinia ready to test. The beta versions are available to anyone who has already bought those games over Steam - simply launch Steam on your Mac and you'll see both games in your list ready to download and play.
These builds require an Intel based Mac, running at least MacOS 10.5.
Please report any problems by replying directly to this thread. Alternatively you can use the Mac troubleshooting forums for each game:
Uplink Mac OSX forum
Darwinia Mac OSX forum
Please let us know what hardware and Mac OS version you are running when you report problems.
Thanks, enjoy!

Won't stop them from feeling smug about this all being their idea, and won't stop other idiots posting about iOS/Android/Tamagotchi ports.NeatNit wrote:And most importantly, stop the people coming here every once in a while telling IV they should make their games SteamPlay)
But seriously, this is awesome. Sadly, we only have a PPC Mac.
Good news for the Mac users out there. A few more games certainly can't hurt to be added into their collection.

First, you are all awesome for (re?)releasing your games on Mac through Steam.
I just wanted to post a Crash to Desktop error I received while playing Uplink.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7
In game, I was running the password cracker as I had many times previously, but this time in froze (on the last letter) and crashed to desktop
Here are brief snippets of what I suspect are significant from the Problem Report
Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Crashed Thread: 1 Dispatch queue: com.apple.libdispatch-manager
Let me know if you'd like more information!

You'd be better off posting that on Ambrosia's forums for a bug like that. Rather then in a news section.

Hi I have a Mac and bought the Steam Version to play on XP (Bootcamp) after I already bought the OS X version from Ambrosiawhen they came out!
I just quickly tried the Steam Versions of Uplink and Darwinia on OSX 10.6.7 on MacBook. They just work fine!
But I have a few questions also:
Does Ambrosia continue to support their versions of the Introversion games?
Will the other introversion games follow?
Esp. Subversion, I guess there is reason to presume that there will be a Mac Version, too?
Thanks, anyway!
Introversion RULEZ!!!!!
