Version: 1.32.8.255
System requirements needs to get updated big time, as far as I know it is not PPC compatible anymore so better check with developers site before downloading 450MB if you have PowerPC mac.

Version: 1.19.1
Don't worrie to much, I still play most games on maximum graphics etc. on my Dual 1,42 G4 2G ram GeForce 4 Ti.

Version: 1.18.4
In an earlier mini review of this game I said that when WWII Online is working it's a real joy to play - version 1.18 thru 1.18.2 soured me, and my ratings reflected that. Subsequent releases though, show that the developers (Cornered Rat Software) are making a real effort to improve things for Mac gamers.
I have also re-evaluated the game and re-subbed.
Version 1.18.4 is stable and playable again, but more - with the addition of a couple of new Mac programmers - from all reports the upcoming 1.19 release will be the best yet for the Mac player base - and looks to only get better.
There have been several posts about minimum system requirements for decent gameplay, but I can only say that I play ok on an 867 G4, with 1.5 gig RAM, and a 32Mb Video Card. This should probably be the current minimum.
This is an insanely addictive game, which is perhaps why passions run so high when people review it - when we can't get our "fix", we spiral into an ugly withdrawl - this also says a lot about how great this game really is.

Version: 1.18
I am severly upset that these WWII Online people would say their game req's are so low. I feel I was duped into forking over 20 bucks for the CD and then find out the game is unplayable on my system:
OSX 10.3.7
1.25Ghz G4
2 g/memory
Geforce4MX 32mb
I have a buddy who can play it with his high end G5 so I have no idea what the real minimum spec's are, I only know they fall somewhere in between what I have and a G5 with all the bells and whistles.

The posted system requirements are pure fantasy: You must have at least a 1 GHz CPU, 1 gig RAM, a 64Mb Video Card (or better) to play this game at even it's minimum settings - which are poor graphically, and will result in you just being cannon fodder for those with yet higher-end systems.
If you don't have a G5 with plenty of memory, a gamer quality video card, and a fast connection - Don't even bother!
