Support for OS X fell apart a few years ago. A recent port to OS X was created, but it was not included in the final release for Torque 3D 1.2. However, all of that code has been handed over to community members to implement in their games or potentially port to the MIT version of T3D.

Yes, due to bugs in Apple's OpenGL drivers at the time, the OSX version of Torque 3D could not keep up with the advanced rendering changes and had to be dropped. There are members of the community that have been working on an OSX version:

As with all open source projects, we really need the community to step up and help make this happen.
