If you play on a map you already have then it seems that there is a chance it will work, but often times lags beyond recognition. Keep in mind I know this is a patch problem since I often play on my windows partition and that works just fine for every aspect of the game in all patches. Also, using 1.15.3 works over hamachi and used to work over battle.net. (Until they updated.) --- @v So, if there are many members of the community using macs that are trying to get help then they fail. Good post IMO. Not to mention a broader coverage of the starcraft community on iCCup would be devastating. @vv Another AWESOME post. See above. @vvv ^^ lol?  | ||

It works fine on mac, actually much better than it did pre-1.16, and yes you can host and download maps | ||

Whenever I try logging into iccup it says that battlenet can't identify my application version, which doesn't happen when I try to log into normal b.net gateways such as europe. Any idea? | ||

I have no idea how it doesn't work for you  It works for me just fine, actually 1.16 works much better than it did in 1.15.3 (actually it didn't work at all with patch 1.15.3 and OS 10.5.4) | ||

So is hamachi the only way to play with Lan Latency? I know Moletrap did it in the showmatches. You need hamachi X I heard. But then there are some issues, right? Or does it just work automatically? On PC you need to force SC to use the secondary (virtual hamachi) connection. Anyone? | ||

ICCUP works on Mac, but you won't get antihack and won't see games in the Join list, which means you need to know the game name and hope the other guy agrees to play vs no antihack (not many do >< ). If you create a game yourself it won't be visible in the Join list either. You also won't get extra points for wins on MOTW. The only way to play full-featured ICCUP on a Mac is to install Windows (XP or Vista) via BootCamp on a different partition (extremely easy to do) and reboot into it every time you want to play on ICCUP. Virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop or VMWare Vusion isnt the best route because you won't be able to play full screen - it opens SC in a tiny 640x480 area in the middle of a huge black sea. | ||

I've played iccup on a mac for some time now, it works fine, I can host games, but they only count on certain maps strangely enough. You can't get anti-hack, so I automatically prepare to explain this whenever I join a game. It's dumb. http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/forum/webmaster_help/technical_problems/14568.html?1228845892 This thread pretty much covers it. Get a PC, I'm getting one for college and I can feel the two-button mouse already... | ||
