mac os x 10.5 . problems with ps. version 0.4.01

installation of ps. version 0.4.01 was a succes , except for one thing. I have problems with all the windows like items, stats, guild ect ect .they appears full of purple and green pixels. I can see the text but can't see what around ....if you're reading this message and u use mac os x , tell me if you have the same problem. If not , mabey you can help me .

srry to post this topic here

nendo I'm using mac leopard 10.5.3 same as you but still can't log into the game. I read somewhere that you still have to run the updater after you upgrade to get last minute fixes but since the mac osx updater doesn't work... not realy sure how to fix it. let me know if you find anything out.

Did you all use the zip file for the MAC for version 4.01?

because of the updater problem, i've decided to completly uninstal version 4.0 to download and instal version 4.01 and it works.the problem is only on all the windows , like chat , items , stats ect...i'm working on it and i'll tell if i find some results.

Some graphics cards have problems with texture compression. If you experience problems loading the game disable texture compression by doing the following:
-Open the file data/config/r3dopengl.cfg in a text editor.
-Locate the following line and delete the leading semicolon:

;Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression = false

should be:

Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression = false

-Save the file (be sure the file is saved as text only).

That should do the trick. It helped me with the same problem

yes we use the zip hanace

I am running Mac OS 10.4, but I am also having problems. Different problems, though. For more info, see this thread, as I do not want to repeat myself:

As for the updater problems that you are having, first make sure you have the latest version of Planeshift. If you know you do, then fine. Second download the updated psupdater app. See this thread:

http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=32819.0

Third, make sure you have changed the first line in updaterinfo.xml to true instead of false, if you have not already done so. This should fix your problems with the updater. Alas, none of this fixes my problems. But, as I said on Planeshift forums, and in another thread on these forums, I just bought a new graphics card and more ram. when they arrive in the mail, I will let yall know if they work.

Also, forgot to mention, as an alternative to the route that I just said to fix psupdater, you should be able to install v0.4.0.0, and then run the updater. This should update you to version 0.4.0.1, and also install any more recent updates. This update, however, will take much longer to download than if you update after first installing v0.4.0.1.

oh, and btw nendo, i have no clue on your problem, except maybe try every possible combination of different settings, i.e. with/without the workaround for atix1600 cards, with/without the texture compression disabled, and also try in 800x600, and 16-bit, texture buffer off and downsampling set to 1/4. those last settings are all set using pssetup in your planeshift folder.

i see your huge grafic problem.....unplayable though!
have you tryed to remove the semicolon in the ps folder "data" then "config" then "r3dopengl"

;Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression = false
should be:
Video.OpenGL.UseExtension.GL_ARB_texture_compression = false

also in the read me there's 2 phrases to copy for people with some grafic cards:

Open the file psclient.cfg in a text editor, and add the following

lines at the end of it:

Video.OpenGL.Shader.Cg.Enable.Fragment=false

Video.OpenGL.Shader.Cg.Enable.Vertex=false

also you can change in the "true" thing :

Find and open in TextEdit:
updaterinfo.xml

Change this:
<config active="false">

To this:
<config active="true">

- and the last thing i can say to help you if you don't know already.You have to run the updater before in "terminal" :

click above "put into the trash" wich is (don't really know in english) "show what's inside"
then you'll see "contents" then "mac os" then open "psupdater_static" with "terminal"

I hope this will help you ccause i know how anoying is when you can,t fix something........if this not helping you , tell me and we'll try to find out what's the problem .

i have a radeon9700 so i,m not really familiar with all the "ati" wich they are supposed to be excellent cards.

yeah, all that stuff, i have tried already, although the whole psupdater("show package contents" is what you were talking about ) i only heard of just the other day, as i have always just clicked on psupdater.app and it worked, with the output going to console. i wonder if this was the problem with the updater app that they fixed(see thread on planeshift forums from my previous post, the second one i listed)? anyhow, still no luck. but what i was suggesting for your problem was to try those things that you just mentioned to me, individually, and in every possible combination, along with changing the graphics settings from the pssetup app. oh, and those two lines that you mentioned:

Video.OpenGL.Shader.Cg.Enable.Fragment=false

Video.OpenGL.Shader.Cg.Enable.Vertex=false

that is the atiX1600 graphics card workaround that i was talking about .

did yall get the updater to work? any solutions to your problems?
