Mac Version Not Working Correctly

[Faolach]

I've been using planeshift for a while now, with varying results. I have a Mac, the PS version of which always seems to have several incredibly annoying bugs. When PS was updated to 0.014, the game could not connect to the server or update and I had to spend hours redownloading the new version (the download link was messed up). Now with the new update, I got the same message about the server not being the correct version. I have 0.015 now, but I can't figure out what's wrong.  Any ideas?

get version 15b

Yep, run the updater.

The updater tells me that it can't do the update because the "OS is not supported for automatic updating" and that I should "manually download the current version of PlaneShift" from the site. I also tried the Java updater (tends to work better) but it won't run on my computer because I don't have the correct version of Java.  !!! Any ideas?

Ignore the updater warning message, it's a stupidity introduced by some problem windows has.

but i have a mac... and it doesn't work even if i do ignore it... oh well. anyway, i finally found the old updater (updater-old.jar). It took almost 2 hours to update, but when it finished, the game worked as normal. If you need to find updater-old.jar, it's in the how to install Planeshift on a mac thread. that works on all macs below 10.4. for 10.4 and above, i think you can use the normal updater.jar. My question now is, why doesn't the Planeshift team include the updater and updater-old in the download package? Really, you do need it if you have a mac.

Glad it's working well. Next update I'm going to do some testing to determine whether or not the "Update zip entries" option is safe to use... I'm crossing my fingers.
