Has anyone had an issue logging into the client from a mac? I was able to log in last night, but then today however I go in (icon or lobby) it crashes before connecting - or as it is connecting - to the server...

Any ideas?

You probably have to manually change the port number on the login screen, I had this problem as well.

You can find the current port here

I had this problem too on Tuesday - reinstalled the client and it worked.

However, PT is right; you don't need to reinstall.  It's simply the port changed, and when trying to access the wrong port the client crashes. 

This happened to me again today, but luckily I read this post before reinstalling. My port was set at 28004, which crashed.  I reset the port to 28000 before logging in, and it cycled up to 28002, then worked fine.

Sam, it seems that if the client is set to a lower number it works fine (just cycles up to the right one), but if it's higher, it crashes.  I tested out some 280xx numbers and that held true.  Hope that helps.

Does anyone else still have trouble with this? For the last couple of days I launch the client and it just crashes. I have reinstalled software, no help. Even when I get in it tells me my scripts are out of date and closes the client. That is even after I updated everything. Is it my poor wifi connection or am I missing something. I check the port and have the right one. Is there anything else I can check?

I haven't had this in a while, but I have indeed had it pop up when I'd have issues with my connectivity. If my DSL suddenly drops, it will cause it.

Here's what I do as a permanent workaround...

Since you're running OS X you don't have to actually "install" the app. I have a folder called gaming in my home folder that I keep gaming "stuff" in. There's a folder called darkwindFullMac which is the app. It has the darkwindLobby.jar file in it as well as the darkwind folder, etc. You know the one I mean?

Anyway - in my gaming folder I also have a folder called DW Backup In this folder I copy the darkwindFullMac folder every so often. When I have these issues I just replace the "real" darkwindFullMac folder with the backup (copy only - make sure to keep the backup pure).

I occasionally get crashes, typically right after an event loads. I find that if I move the camera within the first 10 seconds or so of the event loading it is likely to crash. I have no idea what would cause this, but I've learned to not do it.

If the client crashes, I can't use the "DarkwindOSXClientPPC" to relaunch the client, as it crashes again once I enter my login. In these cases I have to open the login directly via the "darkwindLobby.jar", which then launches the client with me signed in.

Yep, exactly : open the game through darkwindLobby.jar if the app crashes after launch.
