After i finish pressing next and i agree on the client it goes to the loading bar, then just cuts straight to a black screen. I can still go bak on windows and use internet but the game just refuses to load. Its done this ever since issue 13 but annoyingly it works fine when on safe mode.

Ive got a new mac pro and the game has been working fine untill reacently when it just refuses to work, it did this a little bit when issue 13 first came out then for the past few days has just refused to work.

Anyone have any idea what the problem is and no before u ask i dont use windowblinds

I suggest you try curtains then, less hassle to open and close them


The above is only my opinion, please don't hate me for it

GhostRaptor: Server populations have been trending upwards since Issue 13 release. There are no current plans for any server mergers and we're looking forward to Issue 14 and the rest of the year.

It's a Mac, there's the problem.

Perhaps you should apply for the Mac Beta of CoH? They still need folks, and it's due to release on the Mac very soon; then you can play it "natively". Other than that, your most likely cause is drivers.

Actually, Bootcamp does NOT make things 100% compatible. It's emulating a regular BIOS, so some problems CAN still occur. IIRC, people have posted having problems similar to this before on Mac's, and Bootcamp was the likely culprit then.

As for Mac's being better, just... Not the place to start THAT argument! You want 100% compatibility with PC games, you need to run ON a PC, not partially emulating on a Mac.

Post your specs and your driver versions if you want help. Saying you have a Mac is about as much use to me as saying you got socks for Christmas.
