Samething everyone's saying. 0.5 problem :O

[Dralion1221]

Alright so I already had 0.5 downloaded right? So I update the client just in case and whaddya know? The client fails to open

So I redownloaded the the folder, replaced all those files with the fixing .zip and nothing works

I switched the privacy options on the PSlaunch to "read and write only" and the client still said I had to restart as an admin

So it seems 0.5 laanx hates me and I'll have to wait. But if someone knows what to do let me know

Dral wonders what to do without playing Planeshift a little

Cheers

try setting read&write permissions for all to the PS folder and all files in it. (I had to still launch pslaunch as admin a few times, but now it doesn't complain anymore)

The Mac OSX download was bugged I'm afraid, we're publishing a fixed one asap.

D'awww okay. I'll wait then and be patient. Thanks for the heads up Xordan

As said above click on the Planeshift folder and then use get Info to change the permissions to read and write. Then click the gear icon at the bottom of the get info window to apply the change to everything in the folder.  I have only used the launcher app to get updates and to play with some settings. As a Mac user I've never been able to launch the client from the launcher. I always just double click on the client app directly, sometimes multi times before it finally launches.

Did as you said. Updater worked, but client still did not open. Probably is what Xordan said, client is bugged.

I have never gotten the game to launch via the launcher. I just double click on the game app directly and sometimes it take multi tries before it works. My record is 10 tries before it finally launched.

Please put your OS X version whenever you get a crash. This will help us get the fix out much faster.

Mac OSX 10.5

Still means it's  bug if you have to do it multiple times and I've been using the client (launcher always freezes O.o) Besides, I'm not that desperate to play Planeshift that I'm willing to click 'relaunch' several times before opening it (probably wouldn't get that far anyway until it would likely crash XD)

[Sarva]

All things considered it is fairly playable. Of course problems are being found and worked on ( like crashing going up the steps at BD) but once you get in it normally doesn't just crash.

all i did was right click on the planeshift app and went to run as admin and it allowed me to update and all then u hace to go to the new planeshift app icon.

I believe that is /not/ for the Mac 10.5 you have to do as Sarva says with the 'read and write' permissions.

Well no it's just strange that it worked while it was on the Ezp server but once it shifted to Laanx it stopped working.

Anybody got any ideas on whether this has been fixed?

I don't want to keep downloading it and getting the same non-result.

Wasn't sure where the notice would come up that there's a new non-bugged mac download version.

thanks very much.

UPDATE: Okay so I redownloaded 0.5 from the new link. I did another update and managed to get in game (though a lot of lag, and still pretty laggy when I lowered some of the graphics) Though sometimes it will do one of three things when I click the client

~Will quit unexpectedly immediately

~Will get to the loading screen then quit unexpectedly

~Will get into the game maybe for about 5 minutes then it'll freeze and I'll have to force quit

If I get the 1st one I usually have to relaunch a couple of times but then the next two would happen.

Still, another step to solving my problems!
