Update for Tropico 5 [Mac+Linux version]

Tropicans!
A new update for Tropico 5 is now available. This introduces a fix for both the Mac and Linux versions of the game.

Players who switched to the legacy branch as workaround now need to go back to the main game to get the fix:

Launch the Steam Client
Open your Steam Library and right-click on Tropico 5
Select 'Properties' and click on the 'Betas' tab
Click on the drop-down list and select 'NONE - opt out of all beta programs'
Press 'Close'
Wait until all necessary files have been downloaded and start the game

Sorry for the inconvenience – Have fun playing!

Hoh, finally, I can play in multiplayer. I do not know, what it was, but now I don`t have problem with connecting to server. I hope that other players have the same.

Hi, you're talking about a Mac version, but on the game page it doesn't look like it's available?! There's only Win and SteamOS/Linux... can I buy and download it anyway and will it actually work on Mac?

I use Linux. I cannot answer your questions.

Trying again... not sure if direct quoting the developer will help bring some attention to the question. As it stands, there's no Mac "icon" on the Steam game download but you're clearly saying there is a Mac version of the game. So which one is right? If I buy the game, will I be able to install it on Mac? Thanks.

An auto update on the matter, since no dev chimed in, but others might find themselves facing the same question. Despite the lack of icon indicating Mac compatibility on Steam, I purchased it anyway; the game ended up installing and playing just fine on my Mac (OSX 10.11)

Spookyfox : Just a note: Pressing F12 (screenshot) during the title/intro screen seems to flip the screen and divide it in half making the game unplayable. If you don't take a screenshot and start to play the game F12 works in-game for screenshots. But it seems like there's something wonky going on with the into/title screens where they get bugged up if you try to take a screenshot using the steam F12 key.

Running Tropico 5 on Xubuntu 20.04 with a 2GB Nvidia GTX650Ti boost, 16GB RAM, and a 6 core 12 thread Xeon E5-1650. No issues with other Kalypso games doing this, just T5.
