Sonicbug.7341 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I believe Jon Olson is no longer at ANET. I'd love to be proven wrong, but his linkIN profile says looking for new opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepycat.8049 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 So I'm having an issue with my airpods not connecting to the client. My other Bluetooth earphones work perfectly, but I don't like using them for gaming given they tend to isolate me from the rest of the world and the airpods I can still hear outside sounds, but the game isn't disturbing my roommate. Is there something that I'm missing or is this a bug? Sorry if this has already been discussed I did a quick search of the forums already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 It wasn't in the update notes, but beetle adventures are not crashing for me any more. I have not tested other adventures, but no reason to suppose it wasn't the same bug affecting all. Thanks, Mac team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicbug.7341 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Yeah, I just tested out a Thunderhead Peak adventure at no more crashes! Thanks whoever is left of the Mac team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You MIGHT have put something in your hosts file in the etc directory, google "hosts file" and "mac os" (or "osx") for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilbot.7183 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I think I have found the way to both reproduce a mouse issue and narrowing down to what caused it. The mouse issue I'm describing is if you use external USB mouse to pan in map mode (or minimap corner too), the entire experience is very stuttery and slow. It only happens if you are using external USB mouse, if you are using magictouch pad the slowness goes away. It's like playing different game, all the stuttery are gone. So I think it might be because there is different code governing whether the mouse input come from external mouse and the input come from touchpad. or maybe there is additional translation code from external code to touchpad code. Somewhere that translation has made the panning so slow. Feels like an order of magnitude slower. It might help you to pin-point where that bug is.P.S. I would like to add that even in normal mode, touchpad panning or turning seemed more smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grewer.4056 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Dear all,I just tried to install GW2 on my new MPB.But everytime I try to enter the game the game freezes. Only thing I see is the name of my character and its level etc from the char select screen. I already tried the repair command but it freezes also after a few seconds. Any hints or tips how to fix this?GreetingsGrewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Since this is the thread for the only mac client could someone sticky it? Pretty please? Some of us do read this still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The external or discrete is usually the more powerful card.If it's nvidia, you should be able to change this with the nvidia software preference, if it's others like radeon I don't know.

Cross Santiago.6327 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 actually it's probably best if you dual boot with windows 7 using bootcamp, because gw2 runs faster on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grewer.4056 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yes, seems that it has to do something with the graphics card. If I have an external monitor connected the game freezes on start. If I have only the internal monitor everything works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icepic.2675 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I have had almost zero issues with the 64bit Mac client, ran a lot on the old one too, but lately I've started to notice quitting doesn't work quite well. It shades the gfx a bit after I press "Exit to desktop" but then it gets stuck. Just happened to me a few times the last weeks. Don't know it if was related to the recent updates or not.

Justin Time.7054 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The 64-bit Mac Client always crashes, each and every time I use it, averagely 15 minutes after the login.When the crash occurs it is not possible to save the report with copy paste, however at the beginning it reads "Abort Trap 6", something like that.Other defects, which at this point sound much less important than the crashes:the 1920x1080 window has no zoom out options, apart from a "window", which is very small.Also, the bar to bring the window back to the Dock and restore the monitor view does not work.

At the very least, they need to fix it in the next three months or there are going to be a lot of people who upgrade to macOS and then find GW2 no longer runs.Hopefully Apple doesn't also take the opportunity to change OpenGL from deprecated to removed in the next version, or the 64-bit issue will be the least of our worries (it does seem more likely that OpenGL will be available for a little while longer, but we'll find out soon enough...).

I really do not care about skyscales and such if I am unable to actually play the game on my machine. Does anyone know if they even have a mac team over there now?

This all sounds 'not good' for Mac GW2-ers at all...And for one that is seriously thinking it is time to get a new Mac, the future does not look any good for GW2-ing on the newer and faster Mac to get.I am also very much puzzled that Anet's Mac destination has NOT been official or even un-officially announced anywhere after the massive internal change on the development side.Besides, WHO are the Mac people within Anet now?Please come out and say Hi! to this GW2-loving, yet very worried Mac community, and right now.We are very much worried of our GW2 on Mac.

Matoro.9708 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Custom music still isn't working. I really tried everything for days and days, but to no avail. It sounds like the whole thing will get broken anyways soon, which is depressing, because I only have access to my relative's mac and nothing else as I'm quite broke. If it gets hosed, bye fellas.
