Gameplay Help and Discussion - [OSX] Unofficial Path of Exile port - 30/12/2018 status update - Forum

wooo totally lost now... tried to open the new game but all that opens is X11 and quartz... this is what i did step by step... i downloaded the new one... unpacked it, went into my old game client show package contents copy and pasted the file i was told to into the same package contents folder that i got the old one out of... put the old game client path of exile into the trash so i didn't get the 2 mixed up and the new one only opens the 2 programs i mentioned ..

The Wineskin can use the integrated one (pretty icon, no terminal opened at launch, but may crash whole computer), or the system one (stable but ugly icon :). Wine code cannot use native osx cocoa window server yet, so this is only workaround.

Normally there I have invisible apes constructs etc... You can always take a screen shot, upload it somewhere and link us to it if you think there is something out of the ordinary. julus, i'll try gc -2, as gc -1 wasn't helping. and it gives me an "unexpected disconnect" error in the bottom left, for the person who was asking. I'll check the log too. Its -gc 1 and -gc 2, the minus is before letters, not before numbers ;) Also look take a look into this forum: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/43513/page/1	Posted by julus on Dec 10, 2012, 10:22:00 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post

One correction though, the "force use of installed xQuartz instead of default wine" is in the option's tab. Spoiler I thought it was gonna work and my hopes were up but then i still got the same error :/ Looks more like corrupted wrapper to me. (or custom wrapper with missing Direct3D installation) So, Julus, what do you suggest I do to fix this problem of mine?	Posted by thepadowan on Dec 11, 2012, 12:10:53 AM Quote this Post
Ok, after testing -gc 2 isn't allowing me to enter Dark Forest, and I was having the disappearing mouse bug as well. I checked the log files, and the only error was: Spoiler err:winediag:shader_generate_glsl_declarations The hardware does not support enough uniform components to run this shader, it may not render correctly. So I enabled glsl as described in the original post. That fixed the invisible mouse issue, but it still won't let me into Dark Forest. This is all with the 3.5beta build. edit: tried --nosound as well, still no fix. Oh well, I guess it's just a bug they're still trying to work out on the GGG side of it all.

Also, if the wrapper might be corrupt you should download it again and copy your Path of Exile install into the new wrapper, as was described a few posts up.

Tried 3.5beta compared to stable 3.1. Good: All the graphic effects I tried are correct, didn't see any oddities. Bad: Huge FPS drop, from 60 => 30-40 with major frame drops in combat. Ongoing Issues: Long load times remain (on SSD). Font issues remain. IGN @dime	Posted by dime on Dec 11, 2012, 11:28:18 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
