Mac OSX Specific Issues / Re: Game Crashing.
« on: August 18, 2007, 11:06:40 pm »
Sorry, but there are several Articles of cha0s, all linked together somewhere. There are some olt-dated sharing several IMPORTANT notices. I followes most of them, as far as they are up to date ( the command ./updater.app/Contents/MacOS/updater should be a ./updater.app/Contents/MacOS/updater_static by now as i found out...).

It's not that difficult to open some terminals use vi to correct some files or whatever. It's the overaged content of the good intention of explaining how things might work. It in fact is a bit chaotic (nomen est omen   ;D ) to understand wich step belongs to the actual client and wich phrases of the text are out-dated. I would appreciate a more clear structured and cleaned up new Instruction. I am an experienced UNIX-User ( which most Mac user needn't to be) and surely do not have any technical problems with that text. To me it looks like the documentation of a program that has be redone some dozends times ( talking of the look of my comments then for sure - you see i do know the problem well  :) );  It just remembers me.

I'll give it a new try tomorrow, if i find some time. As far as i understood i have to install it, run the updater ( not regarding the warning) and then fumbling arround with the "n IMPORTANT" points and one of the combinations will do....

i just gave planeshift a try ( about year ago), at that time Macs where supported without sound. This time (Version 3.0.19a ) it looks like its supported without the game itself. It's disappointing that such a interesting project with a lot of people working on it ( graphics, music and gameplay look amazing proffesional) always comes up in a unusable Software. It seems that no matter what Mac you've got you're lost. Intel Macs Freeze, PPC Macs work, but not with 10.3. PPC Macs with OS Tiger (10.4) should work, but don't touch the updater. Well thats what i did, i even tried the updater ( as a last hope). I tried the terminal in getting some hints. But psclient just won't work cause of Memory Corruption.



too bad  :-\
i hoped i found a nice MMORPG i could give a try, but as things show up i'll have to wait another year or two  :'(
