Mac Mac Version Mismatch with the second Halloween patch

[Yoshiro]

We are sorry it took this long to find out the cause of the issue, but we have identified it. We will be having it fixed when Valve comes into the office today.

What happened is when we rolled out the fix patch for Halloween update, Valve forgot to send out the updated Mac client. When we tested internally, our Steam clients did not roll us back to the older build that was incompatible until this morning.

We are once again sorry this has happened.

Thank you very much for sorting this out. I really appreciate it.

 

[dynamiteSTEEL]

Yes, thank you for getting this all sorted out :3
Can't wait till I can play some Halloween KF.
And I'm looking forward to future holiday events

 

[Dmi312]

Thank you for letting us know.
I hope update comes soon.

 

[Eureka]

Any word on when this will be done? I'm still having the same issue

 

[Dmi312]

Will it fix the major problem with perks for mac users?
Or it only allows us to play event?

Not to be an ***.... screw it, I'm gonna be an ***.

Told ya so! Told ya so! Told ya so!

There. Now that's out of my system.

I knew the fact that Mac was on 1026 and Windows was on 1027 was the problem. Even made a post about it, but of course the flood of posts by people who are saying "MY KF BROKEN! FIX NOW!" probably drowned it out.

At least you managed to come up with a solution before the end of the event. I'm hoping that when it says October 27th through November 3rd, that it means the day of november third is included as well. Or maybe you can add ONE extra day to the event, considering that people on the Mac got hosed.

Not sure on this, however I believe this probably also will not fix the issue with NVIDIA users on Lion so we are still out of luck there.

Unless I am wrong? I really hope I am...

 

[Yoshiro]

No, currently KF is not supported on Lion. It is something we are looking into.

No, currently KF is not supported on Lion. It is something we are looking into.

Just to clarify, it appears to affect NVIDIA only based on all test machines. ATI machines work fine, crash log is in my other thread.

 

[Malakun]

Please, extend de halloween event!

 

[Scribbleoneida]

it would be cool if the event was extended but at this point

I WANT MY KF BACK!!!!

 

[STvampire]

Same here Pal, also the achievement and Perkings bug.....

Well that doesn't make any sense at all. I've been playing KF on Lion no problem, it's just the recent patch that's made it incompatible

The crash only happens on NVIDIA chips with certain maps, such as Bedlam and Abusement Park. Some maps, and some areas of other maps, are fine - example is BioticsLab.

You'll know the crash when you see it, it often will lock up your machine entirely and force a hard shutdown. According to the logs it appears to be due to an OpenGL call deprecated in the NVIDIA drivers, other games had these issues as well and luckily were able to fix (Sims 3).

did you say it doesnt work on lion?
because ive been playing it on my new macbook pro that has lion since the summertime and its been working fine
until the last update

does this mean it wont work for me still?

IIRC the Lion issues are related to certain video cards, so if it's been working you should be OK.
