I sent this info in another thread, but thought I would re-post here. NC Soft asks for a whole bunch of sys info which is nice, but the only solution they offer to this issue is to modify a plist file that does nothing but turn your cursor to black and white with the same issues as before in my case. Please post here if you have different results.
This is the quote I got from NC Soft after following their instructions with no results:
"Thank you for the information. This is a bug that has shown up on select systems after the last update. The developers are aware of it and are working very hard to resolve it as soon as possible."
Let's hope ASAP means before next weekend...
In the meantime, please keep posting, bugging, etc to keep the Devs aware that we are in need of some help here.
Im still experiencing the issue. I didn't have it when I first re-installed last week, but its there after I had fiddled with the graphics settings one night.
Now all graphics settings are foobar. Was playing fine on the iMac and Mac Pro tho.

Which issue? If it's the mouse jumping away from clickables I'd like to know how you got the settings that way on an iMac/Mac Pro.

I listed the workarounds for the mousebug in case anyone needs them to make the game playable till the fix

By the way, I found it very interesting that my wife's new MBP doesn't have the issue. It has a 2.8 Core 2 Duo w/512 NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT. I was really surprised that it was just fine (not to mention it looks amazing).
Some people have pointed out the issue might be GMA related - probably why the new MBP don't have the issue
I'm wondering though - didn't the new aluminium MB come with a better (non GMA) videocard?

Yes, the new one comes with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400... basically it's a 13" Macbook Pro.|

If I didn't still have 18 months or so left on my current (white) Macbook's service plan I'd probably just go ahead and upgrade...

Actually if you're looking to upgrade, your current Macbook will fetch a higher price on eBay if it still has active AppleCare.

Any news of this. Finally got some friends convinced to play, but this bug is making it a nuisance and unloving to play.
What I'm finding odd is that the mouse glitch is present when playing on an older Macbook (black case) but a newer aluminum body Macbook is ok when playing City.
I've put in a ticket, but this is just annoying as all hell.

I've been hesitant to post an update until we: a) found out how many users were affected, b) had identified the cause of the problem, c) had an expectation of when a fix would be delivered to affected customers. That said, our Tech Support Team has received several reports from Mac users who are using the Intel GMA 950 and Intel GMA X3100 video cards.
I cannot give an exact timeline or an ETA of when this fix will be patched to the Live servers, but I will post an update (on the CoH Mac forums and on the Training Room forums) of when the fix is ready to be tested on the Training Room (aka Public Test Server). If you are a Mac user (with an Intel GMA x3100 video card), please file a Support Ticket via this link. We are monitoring this thread and the Mac forums for Macintosh-specific issues, but the best way for us to determine how many people are affected is for players to submit a Support Ticket. |
So as long as you're not int my boat (GMA 950
) then help is on the way!

Hooray! I just got this message back from tech:

I'm downloading the latest client right now. That was actually pretty quick to fix such a major problem, if you ask me.
| As of this morning the patch to correct the issue with the cursor moving away from targets has been placed on the live servers. We'd like to thank you for your patience while this issue was being resolved. |
(gah, double post)
CS updated my petition as follows:
"Hello,
Thank you for the information. This is a bug that has shown up on select systems after the last update. The developers are aware of it and are working very hard to resolve it as soon as possible.
Please let us know if you have further questions."
So... good to know
I'm doing a big cycling trip this weekend, so maybe it'll be fixed while I'm gone! *crosses fingers*
