Is there any way to check whether a client is on a Mac? There's currently a bug in my code that only crashes Mac clients, and while I am sure Valve is working on fixing it, it would be nice to apply a temporary fix (by checking whether the client I am applying it to is running Mac).

Thanks!

1) Execute the initial code
2) See who dropped immediately after
3) Store their Steam ID
4) Apply fixed code to them if they decide to reconnect

Would checking if they have "Source 2007 Mac Binaries" in their subscriptions work?

Yeah there are no mac-specific subscriptions unfortunately. Any other ideas?

Get a cvar dump of a Mac client to compare with Windows. Maybe they have a cvar that only exists for them, or an odd default setting that wouldn't be true with Windows. Then use QueryClientConVar.
