Title: Mac 5.7 Update Problem ( freezing while starting game or playing game )
Post by: Mexico20 on June 07, 2011, 07:25:58 am

When this new update came out i found out that it would freeze after i got to the actual playing screen were you could move your character and stuff. It would either freeze after the screen loads or it would freeze after i play for about 4-5 minutes. It also says " error plugin chrystalspace " or something like that at the loading screen with the magician casting something on the lizard thing after you open the client application to play. I don't have the applications pssetup and psupdater no matter how many times i download it again. I need help and fast! I want to play this game.

Hey do you have to play it nonstop for a little to make it better. Or can you play it once in a while and it will fix it because i played it for a couple seconds and it froze still.

I have a Mac Pro desktop with a pretty good graphics card. When I first started using the new client I got freezing, frozen up to 45 seconds or longer, while the shaders were built. after 4 or 5 minutes after I had turned a bit and moved a bit most of the freezing was done with, at least until I went on a different map with a different style for the first time and then I would get some minor lagging. If the game freezes just be patient and wait and see if it unfreezes. If it does then it is probably the shaders being calculated. Just stay with int and in 5 to 10 minutes you should be done with the freezing issue.
