![]() Then I download and reinstall - only not paying attention or spoiled by real programmers having their installs create a sub folder onto a directory - I installed MTG:Arena to the root of the SSD I use for games. Traveling for work, I decided to wait on uninstalling/reinstalling.įast forward to Christmas morning - I decided to reinstall and play some pauper. I found a note saying that the patch last week or the week before was going to fix it for good, but a reinstall would be required. So last week I tried to log in and got the error that was suppose to be fixed that keeps you from loading/patching. The purpose of my post is to be informative - for both others and for hopefully Wizards - so they can update their installer to automatically create a subfolder when changing the drive location during installation and hopefully mitigate this happening to someone else. I became complacent and after reinstallation of over 30 applications I know why - every single one, when only selecting the D drive, automatically created a subfolder and would NOT allow me to install directly to the root, even if I wanted. Although it was extremely frustrating, some of the blame is my own, for assuming a well known company would adhere to programming norms and not allow people to install an application to the root of a drive. I do enjoy Arena and this post isnt meant as some knock at the game. There are minor graphic problems with the nVidia GeForce MX and ATI Radeon under Mac OS 10.2.8.Edit 1: I'd like to add the following. This application will not work properly on Mac's with the Intel Processor (or maybe very slowly via Rosetta). Use the Software Update feature found on the Mac to get the latest updates. OSX users with Java 1.3.1 or older will need to upgrade to Java 1.4 in order to install the game. Some important fixes have been made in Mac OSX that will upgrade the overall quality of the game and prevent some random crashes. It is very important to upgrade your Mac OSX version to OS X 10.2.8 or 10.3.5. Here's what in the Myst 5 install Read Me: Have you tried creating a new User account and running the game from that user? I understand that lots of Mac users are having problems with Myst but why aren't other Mac users having the same problems? I'm using the default settings for Myst 5. So just because the RAM is recognized and works doesn't mean there is some part of it that is faulty and causing an otherwise untraceable problem. My dealer replaced the RAM with another and all is well. I ran the extended hardware test (the RAM passed the TechTools test) and it found a problem. I'm confident it isn't a RAM problem either, but the reason I mention this is that I added RAM to my iBook except that I never could complete the OS X install to a Firewire hard drive. Would anyone have another solution? Is this true that Apple is the one that should update the ATI drivers? Or should Ubisoft do something about this situation? I really don't know where to go on this one.Ģ0" iSight iMac G5 - 1.5GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.4) I have heard about ATIccelerator II, a hack for overclocking ATI graphics cards but I don't want to install it as I am afraid it would void my warranty if something were to go wrong. Ubisoft resends the elevator to Apple, saying that Apple writes its own drivers for the graphics cards that are installed in Macs so it doesn't look like a patch from Ubi is in the works. And seriously? I see people in that thread trying to play the game on dual G5 Power Macs and have the same problem I encounter! And I can't believe that my graphics card, the ATI X600 XT with 128MG VRAM can't play this ![]() The solution offered so far is to take off antialiasing and a setting called anistropic filtering for gameplay which takes away a lot of the magic because the game looks crappy. Ubisoft forums and it seems it affects only ATI graphics cards, Macs with nVidia cards do not seem to be concerned too much by this problem. holding down the Startup button till it shuts down. ![]() The game keeps crashing, I still hear the sound as if the game was proceding normally but my cursor is frozen, I have no access to the desktop, keyboard shortcuts toįorce Quit do not work and I have to shut down the iMac G5 the hard way, i.e. I got Myst V as a present and installed it this weekend. ![]()
