Issue 16 Open Beta Known Mac Issues

I've still got the bug with the cursor.

I've now gone back to Leopard 10.5.7 (due to safari browser 4 being really, really slow for me) but have used all Leopard versions right up to latest snow leopard and the bug manifests in them all. I have but a bug report in and a technical support question. So far they've asked me to try windowed mode but unfortunately the bug is still there.

The environments bug is a part of the cursor problem. It's like the top half of the screen flickers, glitches, resets. Very strange. Hope it is simply a cursor collision detection code problem they can sort soon.

Did any of you see the workaround? Impractical in a mission or combat but it works. Don't move the cursor over the item you want to click but leave it near the item and turn the character using left and right keys until the cursor is over the item, then click. Don't move the cursor while clicking.

As I say, it works but so impractical.

I really hope they manage to fix this soon as my windows using friends are having a great laugh as I may have to install windows on the mac

Done 3 TFs today - the game was very playable, the cursor is a minor setback but I got used to it. Was happy with that to be honest.
But after the 3rd TF we disbanded and I thought I'd go unlock cimerora, then my issue kicked in - it takes me about 10 mins & a lot of luck to select available missions & that's not even accepting the mission yet :/

I really hope for a hotfix within a few days to let us enjoy double xp weekend

Done - petition sent. Having the same issues with my MacBook, 10.5.8.

The last version to go live brought the mouse coordinate problem to live. Now I get the random POV shift every so often. It's not as often as it was during i16 beta, but it is still pretty annoying.


Too many alts to list.

As said in other threads (by cuppa if iirc) - it's probably the old coding with the orange hand. I just wish one of the frequent forumusers could have a 1 on 1 chat with a guy from tech support. I think it'd alleviate alot of questions on the mousebug

I'm having the same cursor issues (on a mac mini). On Friday, tech support and I had fun attempting to fix it, but no dice. Any word on when this'll get a patch so we can all start running some missions again?

no clue on when the fix is

If you wanna run missions - talk to target, and when you're on "ask available missions & leave" right click your way to missions, if the mouse resets it'll be on your last right click. Takes a few sec longer but you get to do mishes, if you have to do glowies: right click your way to the glowie and press "i" for interact once you rightclicked it. There's a workaround for almost everything - but it's sooo annoying
