je_saist, take a gander back to the last pages of this forum and check out just how long us mac users have been trying to get our **** fixed.



I've done some cross posting in the past; it's ended up with about 100 people going "THIS SHOULD BE IN THE MAC FORUM" and the thread gets deleted. I've been /bugging and reporting the problems with the mac client since DAY ONE. I was one of the first people to USE the mac client when it was in it's earliest stages, and back then it worked great. There was a cider wrapper update shortly after I14 and the entire client went to Assertion Failure hell, and so did the apparent attention from the Devs.

What happened to Ghost Falcon? What happened to the rednames actively involved in keeping an eye on this? There are posts from 2009 outlining the exact same problems we're having today!

All I want from Paragon is a definitive answer to each of the following questions:

Can you fix the mac client's Assertion Failures?
Can you fix the memory leak?
Can you fix the improper caching of graphics to memory?
IS THERE ANY REASON I SHOULD KEEP USING THE MAC CLIENT?

That last one is especially important; the mac client has been in a state of absolute crap since 2009 and every 3-8 months we get a bland message from the devs stating "We're looking in to it." WE NEVER GET ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT. As far as I can see there is no reason whatsoever to continue using the mac client.

It's broken. It's been broken for two years. The devs haven't done anything but placate us. There is no confirmed fix on the horizon. When Freedom is implemented the mac client will be unusable.

At this point we're all better off just dual-booting and leaving this thing to rot UNLESS we get a definitive, detailed explanation of why we should keep using it.

TL;DR Version:

I want closure. Rednames: Either tell me you can fix it and to hold on a little longer, or tell me you can't so I can abandon my macside client and just dual-boot like I did before it launched.

It's one hour. Go make some food or call a friend or something. You COULD be stuck at the office and not able to play for another 4-5 hours.

Let them slide by. They can just as easily NOT fix a major problem as they can rush to ACTUALLY fix it. Have the devs EVER left us indefinitely out of the loop in the past when it comes to this stuff? No. There have ALWAYS been notes, whether it's immediately or hours after.

God. It's flooring how much entitlement people muster up from 15 dollars a month. I ***** a lot on the forums and not even I get that pissed when there's an hour downtime.

People who play MMOs are experts at occupying their time. Go do that for an hour.

GOD FORBID THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY AND RATHER THAN FIX IT THEY SPENT THE TIME TELLING US WHY IT WAS BROKEN.

Jesus. Learn some respect/patience.

Sam, I know we never agree on things ever, but I highly recommend you try Kin Melee over Energy Melee, especially for thematic/visual purposes (that and it has a little bit more punch than Energy).

I agree. Moop.

Dude, Ironik. What's it been, like 2 months since you've knocked on my head?

:P

Also I'm a nice guy at the center of all this grumpiness and gamer frustration. I get my temper up when it comes to games (it's a problem I need to address).

I'M TRYING TO BE A GOOD PERSON GOD DAMMIT.

*grunts and mumbles*

I know I'm beating a severely mangled and rotted dead horse here, but...

While you guys are at it, can you mention the Assertion Failures, the memory leak, the poor handling of graphics and the color profile hijacking?

Because these problems have existed since Issue 14 and it's high time they get fixed. The occasional "We know and we're looking into it" posts have been nice-- but that's all they've been. No follow-through. If you guys are speaking with Transgaming you really need to mention these 2-year-old mac client bugs and see if there's a way to quash them and report to us what you were told by Transgaming, whether it's "we can't fix it" or otherwise.

I guess? I just picked up the term from my old roomie when he finally printed himself some business cards.

That's...


.... too bad. :/

THIRD time!
