Need to test new version of Book I for MAC

Post by BasiliskWrangler »

Hey everyone, I need some help testing a brand new Macintosh compiled version of Book I. If you are a current owner of Book I, and if you have seen (or regualrly experience) graphical glitches on your Macintosh, please send me a private message through these forums (via the PM button below).

- This glitch most likely only affects people with newer Macs. If you have an older Mac and do not see glitches, this update won't change the game for you.

- If a lot of people respond, I will not likely send everyone a link right now, only the people with the worst problems. Once I get the new version approved, I'll update the download through Plimus and our other vendors, and you can redownload it then.

To those of you who have already sent me a message- I just discovered that we need to apply some updates to the software on our Macs before proceeding with the new compile, so it will be a few hours before l can respond to you with a link.

Hopefully I'll get back to you later tonight, possibly tomorrow. Thanks!

Flawless reports from everyone (except for one random crash, but it couldn't be replicated).

I haven't seen any bugs except one that may have been my computer's fault since it went away before I could duplicate it.

I'm sorry I'm too busy to test this, right now. :cry:

But if the update fixes this graphics issue, it'll be well worth the wait!

Yes, this graphic glitch is officially gone in the new compile.

FYI - I've been replaying Book 1 with a cleric (never played with that build before), and I'm about halfway through the game. Everything is working perfectly for me. Thanks, BW!

BW - did you see the post here about a Windows user seeing something very similar to the Mac graphics bug?

Is the fix you made for this in the latest Mac version Mac-specific, or might it help him as well?
