After reading posts on PlanetMedalofHonor.com, it appears that some cheat detection routines on servers are booting multiplayer mac users by erroneusly identifying them as having cheats enabled.

I experienced this firsthand myself -- constantly getting ejected from games after the console displays "CHEAT DETECTED! NoFog Hack" or "Modified Binaries".

I'm on a MAC, of course the binaries look different :) I don't run any cheats whatsoever, I pride myself on my sniper/M1 skills and play the latest version of the game (MOHAA v1.12 from Aspyr's updates) on a G4/400 with about a gig of ram and the standard 16mb graphics card..

Anyway, one poster suggested that the realism mod "Delator" was having errors that incorrectly ejected mac players that appeared to it to be cheating (when they are not). I wonder if this is true with other anti-cheating server mods -- if so, we mac users are going to be playing multiplayer a lot less....

This is really unfortunate since many mac players run multiplayer unmodified, a good thing for purists (plus we make good cannon-fodder :) )

We've been having similar problems with Mac users on our Mohaa Crew servers while using CI. It seems Mac Mohaa is processing certain "cvars" differently than Win Mohaa does, confusing the server tools that make use of a particular anti-cheat method. :(

Hell if you're using a Mac, I say let you have all the cheats you want! :D Those little buggers are rapidly falling behind the curve.
