NOTE: if you have been playing on both PC and Mac, it is important to understand that this version syncs your progress to one universal account. You can only sync one version. The first version of Block Fortress 2 that you open up after updating will be the version that will be synced. For ex if you open up your PC version, your Mac data will be overwritten. Thank you.
