The story´s are cool in each one of them, even in the game dust 514. in a real time strategic way of playing the game with boots on the ground or mann the cocpit of the fighters, battleships and so on ? I kinda look for a space game that have the Eve online marketing, with some cool mining, building, crafting futures that allso offers a third person to fps warfare with alot of weapons, tools, utillity´s & armors +++ on planets and base´s & in the space in a Huge open universe to explore. Hmmm would it be possible to make a space mmorpg out of this game, like they did with warcraft ? We understand and share the disappointment in not being able to play Homeworld Remastered against ALL of your friends, but hope you’ll enjoy epic space battles with your Mac friends. On the upside, you will only be able to see games you can join, but its important to note that we cannot prevent users from seeing a Steam Friend’s game on a separate platform within the Steam overlay. Mac users will not be able to see Windows multiplayer matches and vice versa. How the different compilers on the different platforms deal with floating point calculations results in a myriad of issues: ships warping across the map suddenly, damage not being calculated properly, match instability, etc… Because the experience of cross-platform multiplayer is unplayable we made the tough decision to keep multiplayer isolated within the respective platforms. We spent months working with our development partners to see if we could find creative workarounds for this issue but nothing resulted in a playable experience. Homeworld 1 and 2 multiplayer is built on a floating point integer system.

The reason for this is really quite complicated, but it boils down to math.

Plus, if you already own the Windows PC version, you can now download and play the Mac version at no extra cost (and vice versa).Īfter months of work/research we have determined cross platform to be nearly impossible to support. This includes online multiplayer, mod support, and SHiFT connectivity. Mac users can now enjoy both Classic and Remastered versions of Homeworld 1 and Homeworld 2 with all the same features and functionality as their Windows PC counterparts. Aspyr in partnership with Gearbox is proud to announce that Homeworld Remastered Collection is now available for Mac!
