Guild Wars 2

I got a disk error at the completion at tgupdate upload, and still no joy here either

yep, still nothing im afraid

Not working for me either.

Me either. Back to the drawing board, Sarah. Thanks for working late for us, though!

Just to let you know guys, if you really need to empty your bags and sell your stuff, I’m still here online on crossover helping some folks, I will be glad to help others!!

tgUpdate ver 1.11 is the correct version? correct?

I can vouch for Noor being an absolute Gentleman and Scholar. He helped me sell me nooby stuff and outright refused to take a cut. What a bro.

If you are desperate to sell stuff, he’s your man.

Can’t thank him enough!

is this affecting all mac users or just a few?

As far as I know, All of Mac Users, as the problem is kinda universal. Unless someone confirms the opposite

Geeeeeesss, kitten you heartbleed

I rebooted my iMac completely after the update installed and after restarting the game a few times just to cover my bases. Still no luck.

Wish if that is easy as you suggested >_< lol

nope not working either

Oh goody, brand new problem.

Thanks to the update I can’t play the game period. The update requires OSX 10.7.5 or later. I’m running 10.6.8.

I know that technically we’re supposed to run 10.7 for the game, but up until just now running older versions worked just fine.

So, note for all older mac users: 10.6.8 is no longer a usable OS. Gotta go buy a new one.

I’m so sorry to hear that !!!! Can’t you just update your OS to the new one?! It’s Free!!

Netflix party in my dorm until we get new build

You can upgrade to Mavericks for free.

JustTrogdor.7892:

Yep, running the download now. I suppose this just gives me the excuse I needed to finally upgrade.

Just wanted to make the note for all users with OSX 10.6.8.

Just tried the patch and it didn’t work for me either. Still no trade post

A curious question for Anet staff, and maybe I should not have had a few beers at the BBQ I was at, but do you have someone there testing the game on a Mac as if they were an average player? I mean not using your test servers or whatever, but just logging in on a Mac on an outside network and trying to play as if you were one of us. It seems like if someone was doing so they would see that this wasn’t fixed.

I think if you had 1 or 2 people that used a Mac as a standard player a lot of these problems would have been noticed earlier. We have had gem store bug, FPS bugs, TP bugs that I would like to think would not have gone unnoticed if someone there used a Mac to play the game like we do.

The problem with that, I do believe , is that not every mac user is having problems. Lots of us are, but not all of us. My friend is running the exact same system specs as I am, but his TP is working fine. Usually. Still a coin toss, but at least it hasn’t been broken for four days.

Point is, Anet could be doing just that, but lucked out and got a mac with no TP problems.

Maybe they need more than one then if they are going to market a Mac product. :P Really I would like them to invite some dedicated Mac users into testing. This would help some Mac users do the work for them testing things. There seems to be a few people around here that really know their Mac stuff. I know it is difficult because of info leaks and such.

I also still have this screen; making it very difficult to progress in the game when you can’t buy better gear. I guess I’ll take a break for a while.

Most game companies have people who work in programming that have test servers as well as personal accounts on the consoles/platforms they’re working with. I’m guessing the build worked for them, or it worked in the program they’re running, and then it just didn’t work for the live game. This happens a lot with programming.

ok, question, my tpUpdate starts to load, then says verifying, then puts up a download error, is that what everybody’s experienceing or do I have my own problem I’m going to have to look into?

The update went smooth for most of the users, but the TP isn’t working, what kinda of error are you getting ?!

No, update worked for me fine. Unfortunately the TP still not working.

SarahWitter.2317:

Thank you for the updates all. As you can imagine, we are saddened this attempt was not successful. I will need to continue some coordination and do not have an update or eta for resolution at this time.

Thanks for keeping us updated, glad to hear you are still working away at this.

And that’s another “nope” for the patch.
Still the gold wheel that never resolves.

Ok That’s it for me tonight, I can’t stay awake any longer, In case this issue didn’t get resolve. I will be happy to login tomorrow and help more people.

And thank you so much for whoever is awake and working on solving the problem and Sarah On top of that list.

Patch loaded successfully, same issue here on a mac mini (I know, I know) spinning golden wheel. BLTC 2.0 coming soon I hope?

nope. the new patch still doesn’t work for me either. sarah you can do it!

SarahWitter.2317:

Thank you for the updates all. As you can imagine, we are saddened this attempt was not successful. I will need to continue some coordination and do not have an update or eta for resolution at this time.

So…like…can you actually have some people test the patches for once? Thanks.

Installed the patch, deleted guild wars 2 file from library folder and restarted. Nothing happened in TP wise. Also, I want to remind that I am still getting distorted colours and texture of minimap and map in wvw (Generally, the map goes in blue,red,green yellow colours, after a while textures (even the character) becomes distorted) then I get crash. This generally happens if I open map often.

If the test server they are using to test the Mac client on is so different from the live server, then Houston we have a problem. I know you are a game design major and all, but it seems things with the Mac client are not tested properly. Gem store bug, FPS bug that cost time from a living story event, and now this. Not a lot of live server testing going on or quality checks going on there when it comes to the Mac client. That is painfully obvious.

Yes, the update did not work for me either. TP still not working. I have a OSX V 10.9.2, 2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, running Mavericks. But I wanted to say thank you for working on this and updating us over the weekend! As far as I know, no one from anet has gotten back to us on a weekend before, also lately there has been a much more prompt response to these issues, so good job =).

Thanks for being one of the good ones.

It worked, finally

Anyway, thank you Danicia & Sarah for keeping us updated.

Add me to the list…

They also have people using personal accounts, in many companies, and some people who work for game companies just have personal accounts and not test accounts. But the fix may have worked for them and not us, as some people I’ve talked to in game aren’t getting the same issue all of us are. So maybe they’re the lucky few. :/

HOLY KITTEN THANK YOU ANET

Work around seams to work.

Woot woot! Thanks Sarah! The workaround worked and was remarkably simple for a workaround. GG MAC CLIENT.

how did u guys do it coz i cant run the installer

The new patch didn’t work for me.

But following Sarah’s direction (renaming the application, downloading the .dmg file…etc) worked. Thanks.

Xelim.3984:

So maybe they’re the lucky few. :/

Yeah maybe but given how many this has affected what are the odds? I seriously doubt the Mac client is throughly tested by Anet. If it were all these past problems would have been identified. I’m looking at the major FPS crash here.
