Since this Hotfix for PC thing came out a couple of days ago my number of available servers has dropped from around 700 to 130. THIS SUCKS! My question is.... will there be an update for MAC users? Or are we all screwed? Please for the love of materchief himself will those at Bungie keep us MAC users in the dang loop! when a update for PC comes out there should a MAC version right along with it

Hmm, a hotfix to solve problems with Windows XP SP2 available for Mac users?

The problem is that this fix has limited the number of servers that mac users have access to. I don't know how or why but it has. Two days ago when the fix for PC was released the number of servers available for me to join decreased by about 600. I've noticed say for instance when the 1.04 patch came out... the only way I knew a patch was out was because the number of servers available to me declined. So I went on bungie support and dowloaded the patch. After installing the patch I again had access to about 700 servers. As of now a patch, update or whatever you want to call it was released for PC. There is not one for MAC. All the PC users that have updated with this patch are no longer available for MAC users. For whatever reason MAC and PC are no longer compatible.... at least the ones that have updated. My point thru all this blither is that some release need to be made so that MAC users can again have access to all the existing servers.

come on goweb.... don't you have any productive or perhaps meaningful insight on this problem? Reading the posts in this forum would lead me to believe that there are serious issues with this "minor" patch. Question.... ARE THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF THIS MISTAKE LISTENING AND WILL IT BE FIXED?

Patch installed and it works. I can now see all the servers I used to - including the Bungie servers. Frag on!
