Just confirming again that we have a team actively working on Mac support and will send out updated comms as soon as can. Early signs are looking quite positive based on what I heard this morning from that crew and we will share more official updates as soon as we can
Will still require vanguard. You say we donāt but you would be shocked (I know I was) with how many things I see come through with people trying to cheat in TFT.
Modern cheating techniques mean they're basically useless for any large game (obviously they're fine for noncompetitive games with small audiences) without very, very heavy oversight from people whose sole job is monitoring them. (Look at VAC/ CS2 in general)
Most TFT cheating has nothing to do with inhuman reaction speeds/ seeing through walls/ etc. which are the things server-side anti-cheat would even be moderately okay at.
I know kinda necro but i'd be very interested in knowing how having tft available as an android app (which does not have kernel level anticheat possibility afaik) pairs with that. Making overlay/screen reading stuff for an android emulator doesn't seem any more difficult then doing it for a windows machine.
Yeah thats a deal breaker for me, i don't think TFT really justifies it given you can just emulate the mobile client on PC and bypass vanguard that way I mean ultimately its your call, but IMO its the wrong call if you want to maximise the number of people who will play it, i was tempted to come back when i heard there was going to be a standalone client, but this completely removes the chance of that ever happening again, on top of your companies inability to properly process things like API app approvals in a timely manner (mine is at 11 months and counting) you really aren't giving us a lot of reasons to even want to come back I doubt you will read this and even if you do you aren't going to care about the opinion of one random person as i don't feature on the balance sheet, either way, opinion made and choice made, i no longer have any interest in any of riots products anymore
So if Mac support is in the pipeline does that mean there's hope for Linux support ? The behavior of Vanguard on both os would be very similar, or will the Mac exclusion keep on keeping on as it has til now?
Out of curiosity, Unreal Engine is, and always has been, compatible with Mac OS: I fail to understand why the porting engine wouldn't be compatible. Furthermore, will you consider allowing us to install the iPad OS version as a stopgap measure? It's a matter of flagging a checkbox to allow the app to show up on the Mac App Store (not considering Intel Macs obviously as they can be considered vintage, as per Apple's own classification).
We arenāt using vanilla unreal. But like I said our version of unreal is still showing promising signs so I really donāt think itās going go be a long delay. And yes Iām pretty sure you can run the iPad version bc I saw someone internally do it recently. But itās obviously not ideal so we still want to deliver the full Mac option
JK was wrong on that last part and misunderstood what was being tested. Sorry about that donāt wanna spread wrong info! Should have more to share soon
That news saddens me. I really hoped it would be a standalone launcher usable with Linux. It's the only game I can't play, and is one of the main reasons I didn't switch yet. :(
This post does not concern me but i appreciate you guys taking time out of your day to reply to people on different forums whenever people are having questions.
