I�m in the same boat. At this point it feels like false advertising. I�m in a full party of 4, 2 on Mac and 2 on PC. All of us bought the game exclusively for the PC/Mac cross play. We aren�t interested in spoiling our first play through doing solo runs on the side.
2 days after we all paid and downloaded the game, a hotfix dropped that took almost 3 weeks for Mac to catch up. Now with Patch 6, we are stuck unable to play again.
I have never seen any clarity from Larian about why they can�t delay the PC releases to line up with the Mac, or why they can�t put the previous version in the Betas section of the Steam page.
Their website says the game supports PC/Mac cross play, and at the moment that is simply not true.
I read the reason for this is that they have the developers / programmers in house for Windows and the other platforms, except for Unix (MacOS). So they work on a patch and afterwards, they contact a third party to develop the same for the Mac-environment. And they realize this this is not good for the experience of crossplaying groups, so they work on getting the Unix-knowlegde in house so they can develop the Mac-updates at Larian, simultaneous with the other updates, but it takes some time to get there. I agree that there should be a way to postpone an update until it is released for all platforms, until then we need to be patient. And give Larian some credits. Most game developers don't bother about Mac at all, I'm very happy that Larian always did Mac-releases as well, because they make great games.
Just had a Lan-weekend and we played Divinity 1 with four players, because Baldur's Gate couldn't be played and we had a lot of fun as well ;-)
