Aspyr Media announced this morning the release of a new patch for Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, which enables the multiplayer features of this popular Mac skateboarding title. This 1.0.1 update, recently commented-on by the game's porting house Beenox, also adds support for Force Feedback devices for those users of Mac OS X 10.2.3 or above.

Here are specifics on these two highly requested features:

MULTIPLAYER: This version allows you to host and join multiplayer games through the popular Macintosh matchmaking service, GameRanger. You can download a free copy of this utiliy from http://www.gameranger.com/. If you don't have GameRanger installed, the "Start GameRanger" option will be disabled in the main menu. Also, to chat during a multiplayer game, press the "Enter" or "Return" key.

FORCE FEEDBACK: If you own a Force Feedback-enabled device and 0S 10.2.3, you'll now be able to feel the street as your skater do! Make sure you check the "Enable ForceFeedback support" button in the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Game Device Configuration" dialog. You can access this dialog by clicking on the "Gamepad" button at the bottom of the option dialog.
