Title: Game not launching
Post by: timothyh411 on August 02, 2011, 12:46:41 pm: I've just downloaded the game, and I started playing it but my game was freezing when I was talking to npcs. I read the forums and they said to update my game. So I updated my game, but not the game client isn't launching at all. Can anyone help? My game is currently running version 0.5.7.1.

Edit: the "~"-sign is the path to "/Users/UserName"

Also playing around with all other settings there might make a difference (like setting everything to medium). Also no clue how easy that is on a mac...but starting "psclient_static" from a shell and pasting the output could give some hints why the game crashes for you.

Post by: timothyh411 on August 03, 2011, 08:29:01 am: nvm it works now. I had to reinstall the game, then update while the game was inside applications. that's probably why it didnt work the first time.
