and over Hamachi since he can't get on Bnet.

Ok so, hopefully he'll figure out how to actually even install Hamachi on his Mac. Now, we're all running on Windows, so will we be able to play SC with each other (us Windows users together with the Mac user) over Hamachi?

Or will it all be in vain?

Anyone with experience on this?

a more gaming centered program that does the same thing as hamachi, mostly used by DotAboys.

Should work on mac too.

is it possible to get on iccup with a mac?

also will hamachix allow pc users to network with mac users (like would it be able to do what we want it to do)?

hey so me and another windows user played with the mac guy on iccup. I guess there's a problem with the other windows guy and the mac guy cause whenever both are in the same game, the game will lag heavily. they also complain they can't see each others' messages. Any solution to this?

We might try again later tonight and hope the lag will fix itself

If he has intel mac, he should install windows.

mouse acceleration under osx is really unplayable.
hmm.

Figured I'd bump this thread rather than post a new one.

Basically, I'm trying to connect from my PC to a Mac to play BW, ideally with LAN latency. Of course, since there's no AH for Mac, it's B.net latency even on iCCup. Currently there's only a Windows version for Garena, and while recently(?) they released a Mac version of Hamachi, the version seems different from the PC version and we can't see each other's games.

Has anyone gotten past this problem? How to play BW between a Mac and PC with LAN lat?

Heyo, Mac user here.

It's not workable. Your friend should use bootcamp and install a Windows partition, and play BW on that. There are numerous benefits of doing that, including the fact that Mac mouse acceleration is very poor for BW.

You can get hamachi to work just fine on OSX if you're willing to do some command line stuff to get it installed and configured. Just throwing windows on there is all around the better option, though.

Hamachi works on his Mac running OSX (they have a GUI for Hamachi Mac now too so no command line stuff necessary), it's just that he can't see my game when I create it and vice versa, and I'm guessing it's because of version differences or something like that.
