SM34 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I've got a copy of GR "Game of the Year edition" for the Mac and was wondering if anyone knew of any patches for it. The game version is apparently 1.2 but it appears that it requires patching to 1.3 and 1.4 before the Island Thunder expansion pack can be converted and used from the Windows system. I've trawled the net to see if any such patches exists/existed for the Mac but due to length of time since the game came out they may not be available anymore. I've tried running Island Thunder and Heroes Unleashed and all I get is a white screen!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yeh I want to nail this answer down too. I thought I had it figured out a while back and recorded in the FAQ but apparantly not. Anyone able to clarify? Apex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexMods Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sorry for being so late (again). Seems like the updates for Mac GR are really well hidden nowadays. I just uploaded them to my FileFront account. Here are the download links: Ghost Recon (English) 1.0.3 Update Ghost Recon (Deutsch) 1.0.3 Update Ghost Recon (Francais) 1.0.3 Update These are all-in-one patches that will update any version to 1.0.3 - no other updates required.

Giampi Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 And the Italian patch? Actually not need, just joking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexMods Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 And the Italian patch? Actually not need, just joking Haven't seen that one. Did they make an Italian version? I know you were just kidding, but it would be nice to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApexMods Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks Apex, Mac Ghost Recon patch download entry created here. Thanks, Rocky. But the version info is wrong - the v1.0.3 update for Mac is actually displayed as v1.4 in-game. I know it's confusing - but v1.4 has been updated three times on Mac. So basically, there is 1.4v1.0, 1.4v1.0.1, 1.4v1.0.2, and finally 1.4v1.0.3, which is the latest one. PS: Don't you just LOVE how I complicate your life, Rocky?

CR6 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks, Rocky. But the version info is wrong - the v1.0.3 update for Mac is actually displayed as v1.4 in-game.

I always wondered why they didn't release a v1.4, but it seems they actually did ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexMods Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yes, and although the versioning may look like utter nonsense at first sight, it does make sense for ported/multi-platform games to actually have two different version numbers. One that reflects the overall version of the game itself (e.g. as compared to the PC version) and one that reflects the version of the port on the specific platform (in this case the Mac). So while all of the 1.4 versions of Ghost Recon have equal features on both platforms, the additional updates (1.0.1 up to 1.0.3) for Mac introduced many Mac-specific improvements like e.g. built-in GameRanger support.

SM34 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 That's interesting, I didn't know that. Speaking personally, I'm just glad you folks are there to deal with with these sorts of questions. Thanks to all concerned for their help. It's very much appreciated.

ApexMods Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 As FileFront keeps arbitrarily erasing files, I have given up on mirroring my files there. Here are new (and hopefully more reliable) download links: Ghost Recon 1.0.1 Update for Mac Ghost Recon 1.0.2 Update for Mac Ghost Recon (English) 1.0.3/1.4 Update for Mac Ghost Recon (French) 1.0.3/1.4 Update for Mac Ghost Recon (German) 1.0.3/1.4 Update for Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
