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.


open it manually in textedit. (Seriously, I am not going to explain basics how to work with computer).

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?


Loading times are long because of OSX allocates memory differently then Linux/Windows. (Basically Linux will just allocate memory for the file (mmap) and when needed it will load it (page_fault), possibly the same is done on Windows. The osx will load the file during the memory allocation causing severe slowdown (SSD will not speed things up, even running the game from ramdisk yield no significant improvement).. The bug has been reported to apple for years, yet they did nothing to improve it :/

In another words, there is no known way how to improve loading times. Only workaround would be to yell at developers to increase timeout interval.
I know it suxx for PoE, it isnt playable with those kind of loading times in my books.
On the other hand, osx works very very well unless we try to run a SUCKY game engine/client on it. PoE is the best game but the engine is one of the worst ever made, sadly.

I don't know about the osx part... for example swtor had loading times of 10 minutes because of the very same bug. But swtor engine is also not one of the best around there.

But yeah, the PoE engine sucks, and sucks even more with every update. The Devs are putting a lot of effort to new content, but hardly any into game optimization.

I don't mind the load times, but why does it disconnect me?

Oh, I didn't covered that up? I thought I did... Anyway, you are getting disconnect as your session time outs (looks like if you are not able to load the new map within 2 or so minutes, you will get disconnected from the server)

Oh I see, ugh.
I recently DL'd the latest version (5.2) before patch 1.3, and the game was working fine, but as soon as patch 1.3 came out, I've been stuck at the beginning loading screen. I've waited for over 30 minutes, and nothing.
Hi;

I've been experiencing a strange bug where my screen flickers constantly from high gamma to low gamma

Anyone else experiencing this bug?

Thanks
Hey,

i have the same problem as Somnium, the game won't leave the initial loading screen. I've tried it with the recommended as well as with the v5.
I haven't had the game installed previously though.

specs:

Mac OSX 10.10.1
iMac '13
3,5 GHz Intel Core i7 (4x)
8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4098MB


help is much appreciated!
