Mac Issues with TP since the Sept. Feature!
The game also shuts down my computer, but I don’t think it’s the tp, it just seems random.
the game shuts down your computer? is probably your computer not the game…
Same here. i’ll try to be specific!
It used to be that it would instant crash if I even opened the TP in an area that wasnt empty (Like random outposts, and pickup in say.. Ebonhawke, but since their “fix” of the problem, it does this instead. Constant loading ring and freezes on close.
Never had to shut down my entire computer though, but I DO have to use the activity monitor to force quit the game, as the standard "X’ing doesnt work.
I’ve found I can use it- as you said- in near empty/medium conditions, but never in a heavy populated area. Sometimes it helps if i turn the graphics all the way down to “best performance” but as of the last few weeks, ive been having more luck with “auto detect”.
I can almost alway use the TP in the Canal Ward of Lions Arch, but move anywhere else and it gets frozen.
I’ve had to untag the keyshortcut for the TP, for fear of crashing. (Though ive found if i close the TP very fast after opening before the loading wheel comes up, the game resumes as normal, albeit the gamma makes the screen go way dark and i have to manually adjust it again.
This is most frustrating when doing world boss events, and somebody out of courtesy drops a TP merchant in the middle of a mob, and i have to forcequit, missing the boss.
I hope this gets fixed.. I know Mac fixes can take a little while, but the TP is a pretty big part of the game, and it’s frustrating to have to go to the middle of Gendarran Fields to sell some items on the TP every time. Please A-net <3.
