addedThe Mac and Linux versions are here! We are still looking into the known issues and will update the builds as needed. Enjoy! If you have the previous version of the Mac or Linux builds, please be sure to completely uninstall before updating to the latest version. Known issues: - Players cannot type in the chat field during a multiplayer session, but Steam chat will still function. - Players using a gamepad may see their mouse cursor vanish temporarily if they open a Steam menu with the gamepad. - Defense Grid 2 may crash on shutdown. This is a non-destructive crash and will not incur data loss. - Crossplatform multiplayer matchmaking is not yet function. - Crossplatform multiplayer games will function via game invites, but there may be odd or buggy behavior. - [Mac only] There are some issues with Nvidea video cards that can cause rendering problems with shadows, fog, and visual effects. A workaround is to add -forwardshading to the Launch Options within Steam. This will reduce overall visual quality but will be an improvement if you experience these issues.
