Hi!
First of all I apologize if this problem was answered elsewhere..i read all the current mac posts and tried various fixes but nothing seems to be working.
Initially (without changing anything) my client would only load sporatically..sometimes it would open..sometimes it wouldnt. When it DID open, I COULD manage to get ingame but it was so incredibly slow I could only move my character 1 step every 5 minutes or so.
After talking to a few people they suggested that I delete the shadercache file so I did and now it opens and gets to the character selection screen fine...but crashes after loading (tried all characters with the same result). I am terrible with computers and really have no idea what to do...could one of you smart people please help?

P.S. I tried changing the graphics settings but it doesn't want to save them. Every time i change them and hit "ok", it just reverts to the highest settings..I should also mention i tried adding ThreadManager.AlwaysRunNow = true to the psclient.cfg and that didn't work either o.O
