As I mentioned, I have read the stickies explaining that on a Mac the Updater should not be used.
On my first attempt i downloaded, moved game into applications, ran it, and got a message when I logged in saying I needed to update. Then I ran the updater. After searching the forums I found i shouldn't have opened the updater, so I deleted the game and re-downloaded.
Now I have just tried to run it again and logged in, but I am getting the same message again - 'You are not running the correct version of Planeshift. Please run the Updater'
How am I supposed to get past this message without updating?? I have tried pressing OK and trying again many times but the same message keeps coming back. As far as I can tell, nobody seems to have mentioned this problem so far, and I am very confused.
I'd be glad if anyone could help as I am really looking forward to playing

Thanks.
