I have the same problem with the updated version, so I renamed the folder and reinstalled the original MacOSX version of the game.....I get the same problem after character selection screen, the usual load screen and the game is stuck with the \"requesting world\" dialog. So I dumped the /sw folder created by Fink, and reinstalled everything from scratch: Fink 0.7.1, through Finkcommander I installed the missing libvorbis0-shlibs file, ran the psclient.app and end up having the same problem freeze on \"requesting world\".
could it be a server compatibility problem, like incompatible client (before or after update) with the current server requests..... just guessing here.
