Hesitating between PC & Mac version

So I have both, and I am hesitant between the two.
I heard that PC version is updated quicker than Mac version, is the delay really longer? What about the mods?

    @Elenos - For the latest update to BG:EE (v1.2) and the release of BG2:EE, the Windows and Mac releases were simultaneous - if you buy from the Beamdog website.

    If you buy BG:EE from the Mac App Store, then updates have to go through Apple's approval process. So, in that case, you would get the updates later.

    Mods work great with the Mac version. The latest version of WeiDU is available for OSX, and I've had no problems installing mods, including some major ones like SCS. One note - the latest WeiDU binaries are apparently incompatible with Snow Leopard (compiled binary not backward compatible).

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me.

    I bought BG2:EE last weekend from the App Store and I can't play multiplayer games. When I try to enter in my friend games the app says that I have an old version (v.1.2.0000) and I should update to the last one (v.1.2.2030) but any update is available in itunes.

    Thanks.

    iPad version hasn't been patched yet. It's still in the process (I think it got kicked back by Apple).

    Hi Decado,
    no it's not the ipad version. I'm talking about the MacOsX version of the game from the App Store.

    Be aware that some Macs are having this problem:

    You may want to check if your setup is similar to the affected machines. The game is unplayable at the moment on those, and I haven't seen an eta for the fix yet.

    Thanks for the warning, but I think it'll do fine on my Macbook Pro.
    Still waiting for the bundle to come though
