Aaaand we're locked out of the game again.
« on: December 27, 2006, 02:31:28 am »
I now get a message when I try to log in, saying that I don't have the right version, and to run the updater. But, the updater corrupts all my files. So, there's no way to play the game.

...Such is the life of a Mac user.

The last update introduced a bunch of conditions that needed to be addressed, and it appears like the team is addressing them. Right on!

Well, it never worked for me. I downloaded it four times and not even a bouncing icon in my dock. This sorta feels like Yliakum's Betty Ford's Center. Let's hope this gets worked out soon.

 Sticks a band aid on the wound, *smiles* chin up, we still have the best of it, less problems and the like.

Always look on the bright side of life.
Glad to help.

Bolad, slumped to his knees and hunched over like a broken Enki doll, lifts his head from his rough dwarven hands and looks, tears still welling in his eyes, into the reassuring smile on Janners face. he sees a glimmer of hope, maybe life isn't all that bad after all. Feeling much more the brave dwarf he was before the portal closed on him, he rises from his knees and stands, back straight, as tall as any dwarf can possibly stand. Suddenly, after all that kneeling, he feels the excruciating sensation of cramp surge through the calf of his left leg. Howling with the pain he hops off into the darkness of a passageway leading from the gate where the portal should be standing. Janner just grins and settles back down to wait for the portal to reopen.

So this is a normal occurence for Mac users then? Shame. I've been running without any problems up to now. I absolutely love the game; hope it's back up soon.  :'(

The Mac client is a port of the code project from Windows, so it does take longer. And they do not have all the hardware they need, or the resources... but I think they do a good job. I have had a lot of seamless playing time, and I do other things during the updates.

I hope this may be of some use to you guys, A member of the Elemental Light has created a plain english compilation guide for Mac OSX. Im posting this link rather than the guide because I havent asked his permission before doing it. I do hope it helps you get back in the game. http://unksi.kapsi.fi/elementallight/viewtopic.php?p=3015#3015

Thank Trymm for that for us, Idoru. He put a lot of time into it, and it makes sense to me.

you could do it yourself by simply registering on the forum, although you wouldnt get access to the rest of the forum but it would be nice to see some thank yous on that thread ;)

i have a working client and it will be on the servers soon
for all that can not wait client is here
http://download.xdrive.com/s/273282987dvDQIDXD2PVgjVFF0x1?partner=plus
you need to add the art-folder from the previous version
and there are problems with lighting read the readme inside the dmg to solve them
do not run the updater

ps if your artfolder is to old you must run the updater on your old client then copy the content of the dmg into your planeshift folder
