I would like to know if EU3 complete and HttT are available on mac? Also is there some sort of bundle of EU3 complete and HttT with a discount over buying both separately? Also are the mac versions of these patched as regularly as the pc version? Do patches lag behind? I guess what I am asking is whether its better to get these on mac or pc? Thanks.

What about the regularity of patches? Are they on par with the PC version once released?

Mac versions are written and sold by Virtual Programming www.vpltd.com , not Paradox. It is up to them to license each game and expansion or not, as they deem appropriate. My impression is they produce patches reasonably quickly, but of course beta patches aren't available from them at all.

I checked with VP regarding to their policy of patch. Here is feadback I got for you Mac users' reference. They told me that , yes, they will keep pace as much as they can, with every Paradox patch. They're aware of every releasing of formal patch and will port to Mac version.

But since last time I checked, right after release of IN 3.2, it seems like they have problem release IN3.2 patch for Mac version. It had been 3 months since IN patch 3.2 released.........

I really hope they can port HTTT soon and of course my all time favor game, Victoria II.

Problem was that the IN 3.2b patch was a beta patch, yet we used it for multiplayer for the... 9(?) months it was actually released since it was not made official yet it was the best working patch compared to any of the prior ones. In hindsight disappointingly sloppy by Paradox.

One thing to beware of when buying EU3 Complete for Mac: don't download it from macgamestore.com. They don't provide you with a proper CD key, without which it is impossible to register your game (and hence have access to full message board privledges.)

Depends on what kind of video card they emulate. Last I heard those did not offer the Pixel Shader 2.0 that the game requires. That could have changed in newer versions.

Thanks for that Lancer!

What about bootcamp guys? Anyone have any experience with this? Does it work well? Of course I will have to pay for a windows license, but Im just trying to figure out what my options are.

It works very, very well :)
And as no mac user gets access to the forums here at paradox (due to VPLTD and Paradox not working out a way to distribute keys for this forum) I'd actually say it's better to get the PC version.

I haven't gotten VPLTDs ports in a while but in my experience they where not running that well (last game of their's I played was Victoria though I've been using bootcamp since).

If you contact VP or the distributor and ask for a 'metaserver key' that would be the same key used to register for forum access. I believe at least some MacOS users have been able to register; might depend on what distributor you got it from.

Hi guys,

thanks for all your comments. Weighing all that has been said in this thread, particularly Trin Tragula's comments about vpltd's ports ive decided to pickup the windows version of EU3 complete instead. Thanks for your help everyone!
