Mac Issues

[GOPHUR]

Please post any Mac specific issues here and I'll catalog them and ticket them.

[frantish]

Since I was able to do some of these on PC, I will consider these all Mac bugs:

1. Unable to .setrank

2. French armor training script stops when it asks you to fire main gun using Joystick

3. Brit armor training script stops when it tells you your can rotate the turret

3b. When it freezes the instruction ends "... 36" missing the 0

Edit: Trees cause HUGE performance hit, about 60%. From 50 to 15 FPS

I know there was another thread on this, but cannot find, so I report new:

In Beta AND Live, when you open radio to more then one channel, you get invisible characters, shown as a small box, in the radio.

If you do not delete (backspace) to remove those characters, it will repeat the last item seen in the received radio (what ever it may be, even .axis / .allied)

Where's the active link to download the beta?

I get this as well. This was in 129 also.

This chat-bug is reported since long time back. IIRC did it appeared first time with v1.19.0.

Never saw it before 1.29.

I tolerated it, but its time to get fixed, maybe in post release patch if not on release.

[Sparre]

The ?Settings? bug is now fixed (.21)

Is any one else on a Mac getting this "cant launch preflight" error when trying to install the beta?

I downloaded the .dmg file and it went through all the steps but when it gets to the installation phase it conks out with "The following install step failed: run preflight script for World War II Online".

I'd love to test out the beta in the hope that the jerky mouse movement for infantry has been resolved so if anyone can help that'd be great!

Thanks

Probably a corrupt archive,. You'll need the latest full installer.

As Mission Leader can't mark the map.

Can approve others' marks though.

1) can't log into the training server but can log into game server.

2) Erratic CTDs here's an excerpt from the last crash report (BB won't accept full crash report)

Confirmed!

I might be wrong here, but I think we can't mark target at all, regardless if we're mission leaders or on another ones mission.

[GOPHUR]

There's a ticket for the waypoint issues. Same issue as with Chinese waypoints I believe.

That's all Greek to me.

[Sparre]

It's possible to mark on the map when you're NOT the Mission Leader.

[romzburg]

Are you fixing the 10-character-name-mouseover-CTD?

This is ridiculous.

I mean really, really ridiculous that it hasn't been fixed.

This is not a "only some people get it, hard to replicate" bug.

When this happens twice in a row, I log off and just don't play. I bet I'm not the only one.

Not good, CRS, not good.

[GOPHUR]

Yes we're fixing it. As soon as we can get someone to fix it. If it was already fixed, well then, you'd have the fix. I understand your frustration but frustration doesn't fix code any faster. Both of my mac guys are out of office today so that doesn't help matters any either.

I discovered this last night, with 1.30.1

[storm66]

I just downloaded 1.30 and am having terrible FPS problems to the point of the game being unplayable. I can also see thru the walls of buildings, which would normally be great! but it's hard to tell where the windows and doors are. The audio also sounds terrible, which I read might have gotten better although I haven't been back on the game since the FPS makes it unplayable. Any idea when these Mac issues will be addressed?

I have a Macbook Inter core Duo 2.4 GHz 4 GB of Ram with a Nividia GeForce 9400m graphics card

Turn off normal maps, or bump maps or whatever that is to get your walls back. The water will also stop looking weird.

Dont know if it will also help frame rate, but it cant hurt.

[richthofen]

Just to report it: Somehow for a short moment, due to a stutter in the GUI and a fast mouse movement, i selected 2 brigades, got this message and lost connection to host.

[rhinox2]

Greetings,

I downloaded the game last week. Played offline for several days, then got my subscription today.

I'm stuck on a tutorial for chat....the issue is I cannot access the side channels to complete the tutorial. They don't display when I click on the header (F3).

I'm running a duo core macbook, with 4 gig of ram. Everything else appears to be fine.
