HOW TO GET THIS TO WORK ON MAC (my personal experience)

[Whatno]

I posted this in the MAC OSX forum, but some of you might not notice it, and some of you may have to dig past several layers of the MAC discussion, and it can be discouraging, so here is a little "double post update" here in general (sorry Admin in advance).

Ok, I do not understand any of this code talk. So I am a noob. (this story has a good ending)

I wanted my GF to play, so I had her install on her Mac Pro MAC OS X 1.8.somthing.... We did the typical install routine: Download > Launch installer > Launch client.

Several things happen: The game installs in abou 3 folders. The ROlauncher.app rests in the "master documents" folder. > Next the REGNUM folder rests there as well, inside this folder is Rolauncher.app, Game.cfg > Live folder, and another folder (Client folder... i think).

After launching the game from the first launcher (Sitting in master documents) It would launch the client, auto update, then crash after updating the first file. After resetting and re installing, and relaunching, nothing worked.

I then opened the REGNUM folder > and launched the launcher sitting in there, as I noticed it sits next to the LIVE folder and could access more files this way (hoping it was "smart"). It launches, auto patches, then launches the game! SUCCESS! Then at the loading screen, just before to select a character it was 13% loading, and CRASH.

PLEASE NOTE, THE CLIENT HAS NO "OPTIONS" button at this time (As if it did not install this option, I can only chose server).

So, we stop for the night and give up. The next morning, I take on the project before uninstalling. THIS TIME, I move the Rolauncher out of "Main documents", I put it in the REGNUM FOLDER. I move the whole REGNUM folder into the APPLICATIONS folder in MAC OS (because programs tend to be picky in the "Main documents folder"). I re-launch. The game autopatches better this time (It was suspicisouly fast last time). I chose my server, log in, and the game launches...1%..5%...13%.. CRASH!

I read the forums and notice people turning off sound, and going into windows mode... but throught OPTIONS. Previously, I did not have this button available. So now, I look for it.... THERE IT IS!!! I open it, TURN OFF SOUND, GO WINDOWS MODE, LOWER RES TO 800x600... Re launch..

1%....5%....13%....90%.... SUCCESS!!! I can see my girl friends character!
*cross fingers*

I log in the game and BAM it is smooth, and actually looks better on her MAC than my ASUS i3 ATIHD5470 1g... WTF?! LOL!!!

So, yes, that was my nooby way of getting this game to work. Lon story short:
MOVE ALL FILES IN ONE FOLDER "REGNUM" move that folder into your APPLICATIONS folder on MAC. For some reason the installer seperates it all. Not nice .

THANKS REGNUM!!!!!!!! BEST GAME EVER!
