Do you have an ETA on this ?We have a solution in beta right now which we hope to get released soon once it passes certification.

LOL, sorry.......................

Don't want to provide you with a date and then miss it. However if you email support we can put you on the list of people to contact. We have found a few side effects (not related to the file paths) that delayed the update longer than we would have wanted.

And now this: http://www.xcom.com/enemywithin/us/ Yay!
Are you working on bringing XCOM:EW to the Mac as well (and if so, could someone post an authoritative link on how I can make Feral get their fair share of my money when I buy the XCOM expansion on Steam)? Thank you
Yes the Mac version is coming.
To make sure the sale is registered as a Mac sale on Steam all you need to do you need to activate and play the game on the Mac. If you also play on the PC during the first month the revenue I believe will be shared.

If I buy the XCOM: Enemy Unknown PC DVD rom edition, will I automatically get the MAC version for free on steam? Currently the DVD PC version is $20 compared to $40 for the Digital Steam version.
So basically can I use the XCOM: Enemy Unknown PC DVD activation code in steam to "Activate a Product" and then download the mac version?
Yes you can.
X-Com is currently available with all DLC on Amazon for just 9.99 of your American Dollars. Activate the code on Steam and get OSX and Windows versions.

Is this a big massive online multiplayer type of game ? Looks interesting

The answer if you are truly worried about games ceasing to work you should buy the DVD version, in the case of Feral games the DVD will not require online activation if you place the DVD in the drive. We deliberately offered this option for users worried about things like this or users without any internet on their Mac even for installation.
Edwin
If I buy the DVD version, does that support Steam so that I can also play it on Windows?
I suspect it does not require a full reboot a force quit of the app should work just fine, other users with a freeze as you mention can quit out with a force quit. However I am sure our support team can tell you how.
The freeze is caused as far as we can tell so far by logic bug in the original code that causes the game to freeze during turns. It can been seen and has been reported on console and PC forums as well as the Mac. We are investigating and if/when we get a solution will will release a patch.

I have been experiencing overheating issues with this game on my 15" MacBook Retina. After short gaming sessions I hear popping sounds around the case when the fans wind down. I recently installed temperature gauge from the Mac App Store, and it warns me that my CPU and GPU are reaching temperatures above 90% during gameplay. Is this common for a MacBook retina?

The temperature value handled is the TCase value; this is a number established by Intel® as a point of reference in order to understand what could be expected as per normal processor temperature.
Anything from the Tcase and below will be the expected temperature of the processor in normal use, anything that doesn't stress out the processor (watching movies, burning CDs, browsing the internet, creating documents, etc.) When the processor is stressed out meaning that you are running heavy processor applications that take control of the CPU or uses it at 100% the temperature will go beyond the Tcase. It can perfectly reach 80 to 85 degrees and the processor will still be OK. The cooling fan is in charge to keep that temperature there.
If the processor temperature reaches 100 degrees or more it will send a signal to the motherboard to shut down to prevent major damages and most likely it will not be possible to turn the computer back in until it cools down.
The normal processor temperature will depend on the chassis type, the hardware involved and the location of the computer, and it usually is lower than the Tcase.
The Tcase value for the Intel® Core i7 processor I7- 2700K is 72.6°C. Please confirm this at the following web site: http://ark.intel.com/products/61275/Intel-Core-i7-2700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz
Thank you, I'm looking forward to an update
I'm aware that my system is not supported, but then I saw other users reporting the same, and they all had one common non-standard setup, a non-default steam library location.
I realize that a minority installs steam games on a secondary HD, but when I got my SSD they were so expensive and a 90GB was all I could afford, and it's full with my OS and my work related apps.
Keep up the good work, mac gaming would not be the same without feral
Just FYI an update to fix this was pushed live last week. This means you no longer need to use any workarounds. Valve also fixed Counter Strike GO which had the same issue
Cheers,

Just a heads up, I tried to launch XCom today on my iMac to get an error stating that it is not supported.
After a little digging around I rang Feral support (very helpful) to have it confirmed its an issue with the latest iMac's with a 780 card. Basically, it doesn't like that its got 4GB video memory and so flags it as unsupported.
They have a fix working in beta and are waiting to push this live. No mention on any support sites I could find though,which would have saved a call to them. No specific eta on the patch coming out (or if a delay if it also is a Steam install).
I was thinking about getting one of the total war titles, but will hold on as I'm not clear if this effects just XCom or all Feral releases.
I have several games that gives me a warning that my machine is not supported, they still run fine.
