Valve Teases Team Fortress 2 Release for Mac Tomorrow, Delays Portal 2 to 2011

I bought Orange Box the other day when it was on sale (Half Life 2, Episode 1 & 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2) but Team Fortress 2 isn't showing up in my games list. Is this happening for anyone else?

I own the Orange Box and don't see Team Fortress 2 in it either. I'm sure it will show up once TF2 for Mac goes live.
 
It does not show for me either. But when I log into my account on a Windows machine, it shows up fine. Sounds like they haven't enabled it for everyone yet.

If anything, using OpenCL would make graphics performance worse.

Not necessarily. OpenCL can choose to run on a different card. So if you have two cards in your machine, you could run your physics over both, or assign your physics work to your secondary card, and have your primary gpu dedicated to graphics. If you were really worried and didn't want OpenCL to use a GPU, OpenCL also works on the processor.

I use this sort of setup on Windows GPGPU accelerated games. I have my primary display hooked up to my GeForce 8800, and I assign the physics work to my second card, a GeForce 120. Works great, especially in since the 120 is doing nothing anyway.

It's been that way on the Mac client since Steam for Mac was released in May
 
What's the point in having 100Mbit Internet when all I can get is "Download Starting"... Sigh...
 
seems they're too busy to handle my request... perhaps I should take my custom elsewhere!

Log out and then back in. That's what I did and it appeared.

Thanks, now it's up. Cool. So, which of the Orange Box games should I play first? BTW, i got it two days ago, before the announcement, but haven't had a chance to try it out, what with exams...

No worries man!

I just got the orange box last week and I've really been enjoying Half-Life 2.
 
I keep stalling out. So I switch servers and go until that one stalls. It's said that somewhere 1000 miles from me gives me a better download speed than my own city.
 
It took me about 10 tries to get it, dang those steam servers are getting hammered.
I already have it on my PC but i'm just installing it on my mbp for those uber sweet earbuds. :D
