Hi all,
Now that I've purchased COG, I was able to test a bit more:
7.2 font settings in 7.2 bottles are messed up (read next paragraph why I say this)... I don't know what the deal is, but the buttons show little boxes for the characters, it's like it's trying to show a non-english font for the characters which makes everything seem odd. I tried installing some additional font packs, but that didn't help as I couldn't find the right pack that fixed the issue. Pressing the right buttons (bootcamped to find out the menus and what to select) I was able to get it to start BUT after the first loading screen the game crashes and asks to send in a bug report which means PWI is catching the error. I have a feeling it has something to do with the broken implementation of OpenGL on the mac as the game works fine on linux. I did try to install DirectX9, as well as msxml (didn't say it was needed, but figured so many things use xml these days, maybe it was using the msxml library?) The results are the same regardless of running windowed or full screen
7.1 Buttons are all readable. Fonts are correct, and text is in english. Something has changed between 7.1 and 7.2 on the mac version that break the button fonts on the launcher. I don't know if it's a regional setting or what. Other then that, I still get the same crash just after first loading screen.
I can submit to codeweavers all of the debug info that PWI generates, but as I can't get the actual client executeable to launch (it complains that you need to run launcher.exe) so I can't get logs from COG.
