Mac Support

Gotta google what that means ...

@axel12
My misunderstanding then. I'm not sure I would have the capability to fix every bug to allow it to be run on a mac, given I have extremely limited developing experience.Because you have a better understanding of the code, would you expect these to truly be easy fixes? - for example, adding those if blocks. If it's not stuff like that, I don't think I am the person to lead the rebuild.

We can try it. Me making changes and you copying the Exceptions
and then use my code to fix them as long as they are easy fixes that is gonna work -

Checkout the feature/mac-support branch and try again I should have fixed the Exception above but there are sure gonna be more.

java version 14 on mac too I imagine?

Now how likely is it to be able to run faf on an m1 mac?
I don't have one yet, but that would be pretty sweet.
But given that it seems like it is no easy feat to get it to work even on intel macs I assume it might be a long shot

Let's see:
- Apple dropped support for OpenGL long ago and skipped Vulkan (required to emulate DirectX)
- Apple somehow disclosed device details so that Linux support since 2017 is reduced to basic features
- different CPU architecture will cause huge overhead on emulating x86.
Apple works hard for years to keep Linux developers out of their ecosystem. But Wine and Proton are primarily Linux applications. Maybe some hardcore fanboys try to support it, but it will never reach the compatibility again it once had.

Did anyone get anywhere on an M1 mac? I have it working on crossover but get audio crackling regardless of the known fixes. I posted in the help forum about it

I found a tool called Porting Kit that I use to run Civilization 4 inside Steam. That might help you getting the game running, but I doubt it works in combination with the FAF client, network play is probably impossible.

Thanks. Yes I'm not hopeful for network play, there's a known desync issue I've read about due to the Arm emulation. Unfortunately the sound crackling and distorting makes even the single player unbearable for now, although in other respects it runs fine. Thanks for your answer.

It works, I've also made PRs for it:
