Just a note, I split your topic our of the one you tagged on to since it had been four years plus since anyone had responded on that thread. I'm making the presumption here that things have changed in four years with the OSX operating system, I don't know MAC but this needs its own thread.

I found this in another thread, it *might* help. OSx people please lend a hand here.

Yesterday, if I launched the app, enter my pw & hit login, it crashes. If I opened the jar file (the updater) and entered my login & pw there it launched fine.

Not sure if that helps. :-)

Just tried the first way though and it worked fine...

As long as it get noticed so i can play the game. Im happy. At least it was noticed and now the problem is known for the devs to look at.

Edit: im having no log in problems. Its when im waiting for a scout/travel/custom event the crash occurs. It is continuous an unpredictable. The only time i knew a crash was coming was when i tried to send a message in chat, on the client, while a scout mission was loading.
Im using the steam version atm, ill try the download from this site later an let u guys know the results

Edit 2:
Results:
I downloaded the client from this site instead of steam. What i found was the crashes were for the same reason, however, they were less frequent an i was able to start a scout event by doing it all in the site until the event started then i went into the client an the game ran fine. The thing is, if i use the client while i wait. Thats what seems to cause the crash. However. If i do everything in the webpage an just refer to the client when an event start. The amount the game crashes is minimal but still occurs. I can leave the client open in the background while i use the site an then go join events. This for some reason doesnt crash the client much. I think that until the client is fixed. I shall only use the client for events.

It seems to be the .jar file thats the most bugged. The main client launcher has the crashes but less frequent. I was able to scount for the first time yesturday(although i lost my car)
