Latest Update and ARM Mac (M1 or above) with Parallels

[guidobbbb]

I am creating this new thread dedicated to the many of us playing 3dChat on a Mac, using Parallels. I have read and felt particularly disappointed that the developers don't want to support Arm anymore, prioritizing a nonsense anti cheat program instead. I have been playing 3dChat for almost 10 years!

As many of you are experiencing, the installation works but the client doesn't open, because of this anti cheat program.

If you are also a 3dChat player on Mac, please write below and reach out to the developers so they realize this is unacceptable, as they are loosing a significant portion of gamers. 

Also, if you find solutions or a turnaround, please share them below.

Thanks!

I reached out to the Support team to figure out a solution. They first advised me to completely reinstall Windows (which I run through Parallels) to see if that would potentially help.

I kept getting non-specific answers and ridiculous suggestions, so when I specifically asked if the program could run with ARM, they said they "recommended using AMD", suggesting that I buy a new computer. Needless to say, I don't believe they're interested in finding a solution for us.

I have requested a refund through BMT and cancelled my subscription. I'm tired of supporting these developers while continuously being disregarded.

I am in the same boat. Mac M1 with parallels. 

Guess there aren't enough of us to worry about for them...

According to the devs Mac on ARM, Linux and everyone below Win10 are less than 1% of the userbase.

what a shame.... they would rather forego that 1% of revenue. 

I am hoping it causes alot of problems for them, forcing them to rip it out, or replace with something more universal. 

Why wouldn't they at least put an error message saying you are out of luck instead of forcing everyone to spend hours trying to figure out what changed ?

Facing the same issue. @Gismo any chance you could provide an update on this please?

I am also not able to play after paying for a new membership....

 

Will this ever be addressed? I don't even know if a fix will ever happen or not.

Mac was never officially supported: https://3dxchat.com/support/#mac

Same problem here. Renewed subscription, failed to start game, came to forum and saw the clusterf*** that is support, and canceled subscription. Maybe when 3dxchat joins the 21st century we can get a better game.
