I can't run the game at all? How can I fix this. I have a mac 10.6

Read minimal requirements


After waiting serveral hours, I managed to get the game to open and compeltely download. The problem now is that it won't go pass the Failed resetting Direct3D device objects problem, even though I completed and done everything that is asked.

New test version available
V5 alpha 2:

- based on Wine 1.7.31 with D3D command stream patch
- Flickering should be gone now
- Game should run much faster compared to 4x. (comparing to v5 alpha 1 it might be little bit slower)
- Game stuttering/fps drops will still occur (OSX specific bug, there is no workaround, Either Apple fix the memory allocation conditions or GGG Devs will rewrite the game to not use mapfile* functions - both unlikely)
- Unless some serious regresion against v4 is found, this will be new recommended version


When running V5 Alpha 2, the game runs smoothly however whenever I command+tab out and back in the game, it gets stuck on a white screen with music playing. I am no logner able to command+tab out without having to restart the game again.

Thanks, updating known issues, I will take a look at that later. (sorry, I don't test those as I am always playing in windowed mode)

What's your full mac configuration?
I ran into a problem where I get disconnected when trying to load zones, here's my log:

The zone loading time is long which is fine, but as I wait it just disconnects me, why is this?
Hello Everyone!
It's been many month since i haven't play PoE (8 month, because of internet problems and some other stuff) but i wanted to play again this week.
I've updated with the v4.2.1. but i'm having an issue with FPS. I remember to run the game ok (29fps stable most of time) but now it's almost not possible to play, having 1-4 FPS most of the time when approaching mobs.
Is there's a way to improve it? i've turn off shadows and vsync, put every settings on low.
Latency in game is around 100-200 ms (when not i a town).

Here's my spec:
Imac 3.06ghz i3, OS 10.6.8
ATI Radeon HD 4670 (256mo vram)
12go RAM

I'm afraid my graphic card is out of date for PoE, that's why i'm having a poor FPS rate.

You don't meet minimal requirements. For AMD/ATI card you need at least OSX 10.8.4+. AMD drivers before that had serious issues, some of my older wrappers tried to workaround around that, but for the price of graphical glitches, as the issue is fixed in 10.8.4+
Thank you Julus for you answer. I thought 10.8.4 was only for AMD card (since it's not written also ATI).
So maybe i'll update or use an old warper, i'll see.

Older wrappers do not work straight away because of changes in the game. You can try to use them, but you will need to install directx (right click wrapper>show contents>wineskin>2nd tab>winetricks>install d3dx9_42.dll ) Also they are based on really old wine versions, there might be additional bugs.

edit production_config.ini (use spotlight (cmd+space) to find it) and change
fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true

also set the resolution to supported one, or game may crash anyway.
resolution_height=900
resolution_width=1440

Where do I do this? What do I select when I push cmd space? Where is edit production_config.ini ??

edit: I searched for production_config.ini as opposed to edit production_ etc.. but how do I modify it? When I right clicked to open it only showed quickbooks which I dont have to open it. How do I access this file?


Thanks for all your hard work btw.
