There's no ETA yet, only support for Windows. None of us have access to a Mac, so we can't test/develop for it.

Maybe an interim solution for Mac users, try this site below.

It seems fine to me. If I had a Mac, I would tried this a long time ago and produced a guide to help people get their game to work on Mac too :lol:

I do believe it requires a bit of elbow grease to get working. I can't say, coz I've not tried it.

Read up about it on google, lots of Mac users swear by it.

Other options right now would be to create a windows partition using Bootcamp or create a virtual machine using something like VMWare or Virtual Box. The former would be better as you won't have to compromise cpu/memory usage by having your Mac awake at the same time :)
