Hi, I want to fire up Q3A again, and it looks like the crypto malware stalled development on 64-bit MacOS for over a year. I’ll [get it running myself](https://discourse.ioquake.org/t/ioquake3-failed-to-launch-mac-os-sera-10-12-6/977/5) for the time being, but I’m wondering if the project is well and truly dead, and I should resign myself to adding a Windows partition to Catalina.

So, I’m curious, if anyone has answers:

- What are your blockers at this point for getting MacOS 64-bit back on track?
- If there’s help you _could_ get to make that happen from outside, what would you need?

It’s a long shot, but I have some old, dear friends from a clan back in the day that I might be able to get involved for ‘old times’ sake’ - depending what you’re up against.

TIA!

Project isn’t dead, just blocked by sysadmin tasks, unfortunately.
