After doing the manual file install I talked about earlier in the thread. I have had a relatively painfree playing experience. The slowness is to be expected with the 400 pings I get off of the lone server. The game will slow down if you play in an area with a lot of players. Go to a more empty spot and see how fast it runs there.

No harshness intended Vamptvo.
Could the people having crashes and freezes be more detailed about what happens. Does the game let you into the plaza? Can you get past making a Character? Does the game just stop on the startup screen? Does the program just quit or does it really crash your system? Do you know all you mac shortcuts for killing applications? (Mac help) What MacOS are you running? Are you running any other programs?

I run a Mac OSX 10.2.8, G4 Aluminum Powerbook, 1 ghrz, 516 Ram.

Problems I have noted:

Updater doesn\'t appear to work. Justs downloads a registry and returns to a rest state.

The toolbar at the top is not there.

I have accidently dragged the various windows (Inventory, options, etc.) off of the main screen and can\'t reach them to bring them back into view. They stay at their x,y positions out of sight. I retyped their positions into the screen by editing the \"planeshift.cfg\" in the text editor. Perhaps a position reset would be keen.

I accidentally wiped out the psclient.cfg to default somehow in the game. Screen size, window fading, and shortcuts where all gone. I got the original file installed and it was fine afterword.

It looks like the config file got reset.
It looks like it set itself to 640x480.
I changed the screen size in the psclient.cfg. But all my shortcuts (the default shortcuts) are gone and the tool panels do not fade in/out.

Sorry for posting too much crap. Wondering what the other Mac users are experiencing.

When in doubt, leave it like you found it.

Changing the permissions to allow you to copy the planeshift file into \"/usr/local/lib\" is what is important. So you change the owner to yourself, insert the \"lib\" folder with ps file, and then change the ownership back to \"system\" when you are done.

I believe the lock button is there so you don\'t go accidentally clicking on stuff and monkeying up the works. I know a wee bit of Mac and a wee bit of linux so don\'t quote me.
