New Mac Game: SuperTuxKart

I’ve added the free, open-source game SuperTuxKart to the Macs at the League.

Mac Game Updates

I just pushed out a major update for our League Macs. This changes the way some of the games are loaded, removes some games, and adds Unreal Tournament 2004. I've changed the Mac Game List to reflect these changes. I'll try to add back the games that were removed as I can get them to work with our new methodology.

The error causing StarCraft to stop working has been fixed. StarCraft, WarCraft III, and WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne now use shadow disk images. Basically, this means that when you're playing, you can make any change you want—download a patch if a new one comes out, create a new single-player user profile, etc.—and those changes will be saved to your desktop as a .shadow file; for instance, when you launch StarCraft, it creates the file StarCraft.shadow on your desktop.

To save these files, simply copy them into your IFS space before you log out and then copy them back to the desktop when you log in. If the file exists when you launch the game, then it'll use your saved changes. Enjoy!

Wrath of the Lich King on Macs

I’ve just pushed out an update to World of Warcraft on the Macs that will install Wrath of the Lich King.  The Macs will receive this update the next time they log out or overnight, whichever occurs first.  I haven’t been able to test this update, as I don’t have a WotLK account, so leave a comment if it doesn’t work and I’ll roll back the update and try this again.
