FHM for Macs Now Available

[JeffR]

The Mac version of Franchise Hockey Manager Beta is now available for download! As with PC FHM, pre-ordering now for US$29.99 will get you the release version in September, as well as immediate access to the pre-release version of the game (which we'll be making regular improvements to between now and September.) For a more detailed explanation of what the beta version looks like now, see the "What to Expect" thread as well as all the discussion that's been going on in the forum since the PC release in March.

You can download the installation file at http://files.ootpdevelopments.com/fh...rInstaller.dmg and make the purchase via the in-game button after installing. Note that the confirmation e-mail you get will specify that it's the PC version - don't worry, that's just because we're not able to change that text until Monday when the web store gets updated (which is also why we're limiting news of the Mac release to the forum for the next few days - the web store, where we'd normally link people to in a news release, will only mention the PC version until Monday.) We didn't want to hold up the whole release for four days just for the sake of one line of text.

If you've already purchased the PC version and want to play on a Mac, you can - your license number will work with the Mac version, just download it, install, and enter the number you were emailed in your initial purchase (although you're still limited to having the game installed on two computers total, regardless of type.)

Mac System Requirements: at least Mac OS X 10.5, 512MB RAM, screen resolution of 1024x768 or larger. An active Internet connection is preferred, as it is used to license the game; however, it is possible to play FHM with no Internet connection.

Where does the MAC version store the save games? I have looked in the usual locations but can not find the saved games anywhere to get the logo pack installed. Thanks for the help.... and this great game!

Users/your username/Library/Application Support/Out of the Park Developments/Franchise Hockey Manager 2014/data/saved_games

This path is not working for me. I have downloaded the game obtained my license and can open the game, however I cannot locate any saved games on my mac or find Out of the Park Development/Franchise Hockey manager from within my Library/Application Support.

Please help!

The Library folder in specific user accounts is hidden by default in OS 10.7 and 10.8, so it might be difficult for people to find.

I can't license my game on my MAC. As far as I can tell, I have no licenses used as I removed it from the Windows side of my computer (I use VMware Fusion).

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I get the message to try later.

Thanks.

edit: got it!

You sold me. Looking forward to following the release of this game via the BETA. I was going to try and revive the EHM 2007 craze, but being a MAC user makes it nearly impossible for that to happen nowadays. Plus, for whatever reason, Sega's games don't play well on the MAC's I use...FM and EHM both ran like crap. Keep the updates rolling.

My dad and I are both going to use the code on a separate computer, but I know I will be getting a Mac in December. Is there any way I could disable the code on one computer that won't be in use anymore to use it on my new one? Or do I have to buy another copy of it?

Sure, just go to Preferences-License and you can unlicense the game from that computer, which will free up one of your licenses.

When exactly is it crashing? Before you get to the startup screen, or sometime after that? That crash report looks like everything is going OK on startup.

Same here (except I started out using bootcamp).

Did you end up getting it resolved?
