Samething everyone's saying. 0.5 problem :O

[Manco]

So, I got it to run on my mac (running 10.4.11) for a while (at least an hour, then I had to leave)...
How I got it to run:
Run pslaunch.app
Let it update if necessary
Push "Play"
Immediately load psclient.app (once I waited a bit, and it didn't work, it gave the same error everyone else was getting)

But... after coming back after I logged out, the next time I tried to load... something weird happened... (excuse my horrendous descriptions)
When I push "Play" in the launcher, the app closes like it should (removed from dock, as well as running applications), but the image remains displayed (without anything being clickable), and it won't let me load it again. and psclient fails to open as well... the only way to try again is to restart my computer.
Once, this same odd phenomena occurred with Safari also. (the page I was on even logged me out and refreshed, but I couldn't open/close safari, or force quit it...)

Sorry if this is of no help whatsoever, but try that sequence at the beginning and see if it lets you in.

Not too sound like a total loser... but, could somebody put a step-by-step of exactly what they did to get it to work?

Because I keep restarting the client, etc., basically doing everything that has been posted here, but it seems to be yanking me around. Essentially a little help for a doofus would be great.

Thanks

Well mines not...completely working. I've gotten in twice but the things in my last post to this topic happen.

So there really isn't a 'working' method at the moment Dahoma. But basically you use the new link to the mac client to download it. Run the updater (once or twice will do perhaps) then you might have to click the client a few times. Expect unexpected crashes. I have gotten in the game around 5 minutes before it froze :/

Oh well, guess that is to be expected for a beta client.

Well OK, there is the trouble of having to relaunch the client several times before it runs, but I used to have to do the same with the old client. I've had to click the relaunch button as many as 20 times, but that takes less than 10 seconds. Once in, no major problems, a few laggy areas and maybe a crash once every 4 to 5 days, but again, same as old client.

I went on the ez server to look at things and have never re-downloaded the client. I have occasionally run the launch app update and repair to get any new changes. One thing I did do when 0.5 was still only on ez, was to set permissions for the entire PS folder to read/write so I could change the folder name since I still had a copy of the old ver. to use on Laanx.

I'm using a new iMac with 10.6.2 (RIP my 7 year old Mac that I just had to replace after a power supply went dead. I decided on new instead of trying to find old replacement parts)

Wish I could help with anyone still having trouble.

Since the update today I have been able to get the Client launched the first click every time ( like 6 times so far). The latest update might have solved the need to try multi times to launch the client. I'm on 10.6.2

Yes, today's update made ahuge difference for me - no multiple tries to get the client to launch.  I am on a Mac G5 running 10.4.11 .  I had removed all the old client files before installing this time but was still getting the same problems - pslauncher freezing but the graphic remaining and having to try 10 or more times to get psclient to launch.  When I did get in game, I was crashing at nearly every boundary, but after today's latest update, everything seemed to work pretty much as it should!  I should also mention that I unzipped all the zipped files in the art folder (was I supposed to do that?)  Anyway, I'm back in game and very appreciative of the people that worked on this.  Thanks PS team!

UPDATE: Okay, I've manged to find a way to get in-game \O/

I have to hit the PSlaunch and update/repair before I go into the game. Or else it will get to that loading screen then quit, then quit again if I try relaunching.

By using the launch every time, I have managed to get in-game without any problems...yet...
