Have played for a number of hours now without any trouble.

The last suggestion worked.  KOW (knock on wood)

Hmmm.  It appears that a change was made to the new version that causes ATI 1600 Raedon graphic cards on iMacs to have an occasional nervous breakdown. 

I'll admit that Macs aren't best know for playing games.  I use mine mainly for graphic and web design.  But I'm not going to go out and buy a PC just to so I can play a video game - no matter how awesome this one is.

I read through all of the forums concerning Macs that crash and did everything that people said.  At least as to what I'm technologically capable of (which isn't a whole lot).  Yes, I suppose it is possible that I missed something.

The problem happens when I enter an area that has a lot of graphics on the screen.  right now I'm trying to enter the plaza and the game crashes within 30 seconds.  And by "crash" I mean the game shuts down completely - not just a screen freeze.

I reset my screen size to 800 x 600 and reduced the color depth to 16 bit.  I added the lines

Video.OpenGL.Shader.Cg.Enable.Fragment=false
Video.OpenGL.Shader.Cg.Enable.Vertex=false

to the psclient.cfg file.  I changed

;Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false

to

Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression  = false

Read README.osx and followed instructions.

Did not replace the gldrivers.xml file with what was on faramann.net/psO4 because the new contents didn't look anything like the original xml file.

Maybe I missed something.   Maybe it's just my machine.  Had no problems with Crystal Blue though.

Try replacing the file data/config/gldrivers.xml with the one you find here:

http://www.faramann.net/ps04/

It might work, but then again, it might not. Also, go over the suggestions in the file README.osx

I followed all of the instructions in the README file.  Game just crashed again.  I'll try replacing the files to see if that helps.

I have a iMac.  Running OSX 10.4 (Tiger) and have Raedon X-1600 graphics card from ATI. I've done all of the suggestions I found on this forum but noting seems to work so far.  As I said, I'll try your suggestion and see it it helps.

Thanks

Attempted to "turn down" graphics by using PSSetup and changing color depth to 16 bit, but game still crashes.   

The game used to crash once in a while when I entered an area that had to loaded.  I took a walk through the "marble" hallways to the large castle in the center of an open area and went into the castle.  Now the game crashes whenever I load it.  Here's the crash report.  Feel free to ask for any other information.  This problem didn't happen with the 0.3020 version.

ok enough of being leet [hehe] for today, do you have any sacks in your inventory? if so check them and see if you happen to have the item there. If you dont see it petition a gm ingame and see if they might be able to help you out further.

Xzorn found it.  Was in pack the whole time.  List was in a book and I was looking for a piece of paper. 

Thanks for your reply.
