Hi , thanks for your amazing work.

Just wanted to say i couldn’t build right out of the box on OS X with UE4 4.7.6. Had a compile error.

In SLocalPlayer.cpp :

I replaced :
 *NickName = FWindowsPlatformProcess::ComputerName() + FString::FromInt(FMath::RandRange(0, 999));*
By :
NickName = FGenericPlatformProcess::ComputerName() + FString::FromInt(FMath::RandRange(0, 999));
After that i could open the project with no problem.

Hi! I’ve had more people reporting this compatibility for OSX. Using the generic avoids the, but won’t allow you to ID others in a multiplayer game. So I’ll see if I can fix this using platform compilation flags.
