And it's still impossible to play TF2 on a mac past one or so maps because the new improved steam client crashes, hard, often.
I really, truly hope they decide to get a couple mac machines into their QA lab sometime over the year. It'd be a fun change of pace.
DF, if you ever read the forums anymore - please either kick someone or hire more testers (I'll volunteer, and can run your not so spectacular customer service department, and do data mining). I'd love to play the game again.
Oh well, time to dual boot.

Why you weren't dual booting already baffles the mind.

1. The mac client is just as good as the windows client (better if you include command+tab), and I use OSX as my desktop environment
2. Lazy
3. I havent actually tried playing in the past three weeks because I was so disenchanted with the game after the whole search drama.

How hard is it to set up Boot Camp anyways? Dunno whether to blow my money on a Macbook for school or hookers.

Hookers is the better choice. Unless you do some massive video editing or something.

Its easy, you launch the app, put the windows disc in, install windows as normal, reboot, done.
But I hate not having my apps and such, so if I'm ever really hard up for windows games I just use a VM.
And really, if going to spend that money on plural hookars, you'd have a better time with the macbook. And if you just get one expensive hooker you'll regret not having enough money to go again.
Mac wins again.

I've been running TF2 on my Macbook (2009) without any problems at all apart from crashes for a day or so after a Steam client update a month or 2 ago (the big one that broke the game on all Macs). Once that was fixed its been running fine. I occasionally get random crashes, but its once a week, if that, at most.

The Feb. 23rd crash hasn't been fixed. It still crashes the steam client, which crashes TF2.
And aside from the crash updates (the ones that seem to be designed to specifically crash the damn game) I never crash.

Well its not crashing for me. I haven't had a Steam crash since the update 1-2 days after the Feb. 23rd one. Its stopped responding once or twice, but didn't crash, just caused significant FPS lag/stuttering in-game, and I could still play.
