64 bit version for Mac
Is there going to be a 64 bit version for Mac? I’m still getting a warning when I launch the program
|
Upgrading to the new MacOS will break AB as 32-bit support is dropped with this release. LFMF.

Just got this answer:

Yep - I got the same answer. If they won’t support it, I wonder if they would make the source code available?
|
The windows version is still functioning. It’s just the Nac side that is broken. I hope they fix it though as I am not switching
|
I agree - I won’t buy Windows just for AB.
|
Mmm... okay, I will definitely switch on Battlescribe.

It's kind of sad that it has been commonly known for over a year that 32bit support would be going away and this was never placed as a priority for the business. They updated the iOS version to 64bit when iOS11 released and they were forced to, why did they ignore the desktop client?

I don't know, because I don't use it, but is AB worth the the investment at this point? How well does it sell? Assuming 40K to fix it, will they sell 1000 Mac copies (because it still runs fine on windows) to break even? |

As a fellow developer, moving to 64 bit isn't always just a matter of recompiling. And, of course, they can't really afford to release even a recompiled project without extensive testing. They don't want the headline of the day to be "New version of Army Builder released. Melts user computers when Japanese language settings turned on. Lone Wolf possibly holding anti-Japanese sentiment?" :D
|
Okay - so their main competition is freeware. They need to distinguish themselves from that. One way is user service. Their Mac port has always been a “red headed step child” but with a year’s warning its just poor project management to not have it ready.

Over a year has passed - any news on either releasing a 64-bit version or making the code open source?
|
I have been told, by LWD, on several occasions that there is no plan to update AB. If I want to use it on my Mac I should use the windoze version and emulation software
I just stoped using AB. I miss it but I’m not using windows, even in emulation |

Just dropping in after almost a year to see if Lone Wolf has changed their minds. With the Macintosh platforms moving away from Intel processors, even running AB in parallels will not be an option. Sadly, it looks like the product is forgotten.
