Thanks Walrus I'll keep an eye.
Anyway if anyone happens to know the release date of the Mac Version Let me Know
Mac version?
Does anyone know when a Mac version will be released? I've been looking forward to this game for months and my PC just crashed

if you have the HD space I was using bootcamp to also run windows for games for on mac. works pretty well if you dont want to wait for ports.
Well, the ports for Rome and HOI3 both took about 3 months, so, if we're really lucky, this year.
Well that is what I am doing for HOI3 and other non paradox games. It works very well so Vic2 should too. At least I hope so.
Does anyone know how crossover works?
I do not plan to bootcamp my mac for a couple of months, and I am not sure if my computer can handle Vic II.

as far as I know, which is not very much, crossover is similar to wine in that it emulates windows features (or at least has a wrapping layer) so I'd expect it to have some performance hit where bootcamping has none... but I'm not sure, I'v only ever used to to compability test web browsers and such. nothing resource intensive. also it costs money and bootcamp is free afaik (although you have to have a windows copy of course)
It works, and I do it for games that won't come to mac, but native same-day releases would make me so incredibly happy!
I'll buy Victoria when and if it gets released on the mac, preferably on Steam.
Crossover is essentially a wine version with added stuff specifically for games and other compatibility. There will be a performance hit, and getting Paradox game to work is not guaranteed.
He was saying that it emulates Windows functionality with a wrapping layer... which isn't emulating in the traditional sense.
Unfortunately VP seems to be very quiet about future plans. You'll be lucky to get confirmation that they are doing the port at all, let alone get an estimated release date.
Victoria 2 has earned an "Ooooh, good guess!" for their "guess what game we're announcing this week". For comparison: Empire:TW was "another solid guess", Napoleon:TW was "good, but getting colder", Supreme Commander 2 was "already announced" and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (the movie) was "yeah, no."
