*******EDIT: READ THE POST BY ACK BELOW*****
https://bugzilla.icculus.org/s...id=2385
Product: America's Army
OS: Linux
Version: Beta
Bug summary: Seg fault upon connecting to server with 2.5.0-rc6 client
It would appear as if v2.4 has been skipped on Linux, maybe the Mac OS X 2.4 version has been skipped also?

Nice post. Thanks for the linky, and I hope you're right about the 2.5 for Mac deal. The rc6 designation is pretty exciting too. Muahahahaha? Still, we'll probably be stuck by our lonesome for about 6 weeks, like with 2.3. Linux got it 2/18/05, and we got it 3/30/05.

Oh keep your hopes up...
Its common knowledge that both mac and linux are often tested at the same time (within the same timeframe atleast, meaning one goes in before the other) but if you hang out on freenode like I do, and troll the web for tid-bits youll find that the 2.5-r6 mac client was having issues when the deploy button was pressed 
So yes, keep your hopes up, why? because when has a release ever gone like this. (not to mention my inside hooks with the Beer Testers  )

ALCON, I can confirm that 2.4 for Mac has been skipped and the next version for Mac will be 2.5.

Will this version not have to load the AGP.u file (I think that was it at least) again for every other file it loads? 
Just wondering... I hate to have the startup delay blamed on macs being slow...
Anyways, HOOAH that we are finally getting a version, if a bit late

So what ever happened to 2.4 Beta testing for the Mac. icculus had posted that it was beta testing during Apple's developer conference.
Oh well. I'll be glad once the new Intel Mac's are standard and I can just flip to Windows JUST to play games. I'd never use Windows for anything else.

Why not. As long as there are drivers for the hardware, it should be just like any other PC. It can then run WIndows and all it's games, I mean applications.
And if Apple starts using even more standard hardware (ie: we don't need special Mac graphics cards), then drivers won't be a problem.
Just my minimally educated 2 cents.

^Your right. Unless, ofcourse, they use un-standard stuff, but I hope they are not that mean...
EDIT: Or MS purposefully makes winDOS incompatible, which I can see happening.

Apple is only switching the CPU, not the rest of their hardware. They will continue to be a hardware company as always for a while... I really don't want to give up my elegant Mac for 'just another PC', even if it's running MacOSX. Apple hardware is generally better than PCs in quality, as far as I've noticed.
Unless Microsoft writes Windows drivers for the Mac hardware, you won't be seeing Windows running on a Mac any time soon... If they did... Well, I hope they don't.
I imagine the Apple-Intel chip is a special deal. It may not be exactly a 'PC' processor. Just like Apple licensed IBM to build their G5 chips for them. Furthering this point, Apple's development kit offers a function to build "Universal binaries", which run on both Intel and PPC chips. This means that the switch to Intel isn't entirely abandoning the PPC chip, because the new software built as Universal binaries can still be run on PPC. There is a shared set of instructions that is non-optimized that they use, for the tech peeps out there.
Anyway, confirmation for 2.5 is great news. Do we know if we're going to get Overmatch, or just a bugfix release?
