Unable to launch game client Mac OS

OMG, after 372 attempts and 2 reinstalls I got it to work.

My notes, for whatever they are worth. Using Lum's approach, the variations I made were that I changed the value to type BOOLEAN with a value YES, and then restarted. Booyah.

 

Regret to inform you that @BurningToad is our wonderful programmer, Ken. Not Lum. Although Lum is wonderful and praiseworthy in his own right.

 

I am happy to hear that the workaround suggested is working.

 

I know not what you speak of, and whom is this Ken you speak about?

 

Clever. I have the ability to unhide changes, you know. Very well.

 

I know, but I still do not know whom this Ken is you speak about!

 

We should have a patch releasing tomorrow that will resolve this issue for now.

 

I have same problems with native and Steam clients. Both of them crashes and BurningToad's suggested workaround doesn't help or I am doing something wrong ;(

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012)
Processor : 3,1 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
OS X El Capitan 10.11.3

 

What exactly is the suggested workaround? My prefs do not say anything about an IntroMovie and I get a Black Screen Beach Ball Freeze straight out of the launcher.
I do however believe that the suggested rez is seriously too low. Is there something I can do? If so, could I get an exact line of code please?


I see this...



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>Screenmanager Resolution Width</key>
<integer>1024</integer>

and next to it this

What do I change to play?

 

The workaround once you have the plist file open is:

(to be placed just before </dict>)

Code:

<key>IntroMoviePlayed</key><integer>1</integer>

(worked for 1 person at least)

 

Sorry for the continued delay, we just released a patch for PC and Linux, but were unable to get a working Mac build yet. We are trying some more things and hope to have one soon.

 

Now I can enter SOTA, but Steam client crashes when I am trying to access my home in Ardoris. Game is really unstable and unplayable. I hope that next releases will bring some changes for Mac users...

 

Hello, finally some good news for those who are still having the startup problem on OSX. I'm uploading a new patch now for OSX that fixes that issue and will bring the game up to date with the other live builds. It will be build number 379. Should be published in an hour or two!

 

Mac OSX build 379 was just published. Let me know if you have any continued issues! The intro video is disabled for now.

 

Seems to be working now, thank you.
