    Alright... I'm sure there were others before me that asked the same question and ran into the same problems and have been given the same answers... The usual google oracle is coming up with nothing conclusive for me and now I am reduced to tears :( Might I get a helping hand please?
    I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and a Nvidia graphics card. I have downloaded the Mac client shown in the wiki takp site which was provided to me. I first opened the client and was lead to the Sony sorry we no let you play no mo o dis page, and went back to the takp wiki page for more guidance... and now I'm an ostrich with its head in the dirt.

    click the chat tab on the top of the page and you can get a hold of a GM more easily. If you were able to get a char made but not in game i would guess you need your account validated… or maybe UI problems..? but that shouldn't be the case if you're using the package linked above.

    If you got all the way to making a character and then not being able to log in, the UI is probably the most likely culprit. Although I agree, it doesn't make much sense that the pre-packaged ones don't work.

    EDIT - I downloaded the UI Files from the mac client download and confirmed something is wrong with them. I crashed when trying to load them as well, so apparently Torven's PC fixes don't jive well with the Mac side of things.

    Try downloading this zip and replacing your UIFiles folder with it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9hb3rw0wadh3ufy/UIFiles.zip?dl=0

    I am uploading an updated client and will edit the wiki when complete.

    Yeah. Why have i not heard of this server? How's things going with the server? I may need to steal my Mac back from roommate and get the client going if roommate not deleted it yet. I love the opportunity to box so i left P99 and went to ragefire/lockjaw but too much drama so left for swtor. This server may be what I'm looking for!

    Lenas let me know if you want me to reupload the next version to my GDrive.

    The reason you may not have heard of this project yet is that the dev team is busy, and doesn't spend a ton of time on other sites promoting this project. If this project resonates with you, and there are a lot of reasons for that to happen, spread the word.

    I will be loading it on my windows machine tonight since I don't want to go through the hassle of getting my Mac setup right now (It is in use by roommate for her development company) -

    I updated the wiki page with my new dropbox link, you can re-upload to Drive at your leisure, no rush.

    Wow it has been a while... Being in the military doesn't make life any easier. Though, here I am, back again to give this another go. Alright! new computer! (27 inch iMac with OS X Yosemite btw) Got the mac client! Got the Launcher that Speedz made, followed the instructions. Got the UI Files from Lenas (as mentioned above)........ Double click!!...... App not responding..... /cry
    Might There be a charitable soul out there that will fulfill my hunger for EQrack?

    Do you have game account(s) created? Usually if it doesnt go past the little black box in the top left its because my login info isnt right.
