1:20 PM | Michael Eilers | Comment on this story
As IMG predicted when we noted that Rune: Halls of Valhalla has secured a publisher last week, the update for the Mac version of Rune has now been released which brings it to parity with the PC version. Among the "bonus" items in this large (33 MB) update include support for EAX audio (for those with SB Live! cards) as well as OpenGL support, fixes for dual-monitor setups and a large number of gameplay tweaks already implemented on the PC side. All players of Rune should grab this updated version ASAP, as it fixes many of the game's quirks which perturbed early online players.
Here is a partial list of changes in this version:
This program will update your version of Rune to 1.07.
This patch brings Rune Mac up to the current PC version, and includes all bug fixes from previous patches.
You must have Rune fully installed on your system before running this update.

Jump to MacGameFiles to grab the download. As always, our heartfelt thanks to Westlake Interactive for their commitment to bringing Mac users the latest and greatest games, and patching them after release (often without compensation). If we're interpreting the signs correctly, the release of this update indicates that a boxed Mac version of Halls of Valhalla should be right around the corner.
