Time of Shadows Forum

Time of Shadows was just released 9/11/09 as a RPG / combat rpg.

what works:
installs through steam
initial launch (although it complains that my video card is "old" - it doesn't do this on windows)
main menu
configuration screen
single player start /load screen*

what doesn't work:
the game itself on single player. After creating a character, or loading an existing save game it shows the loading window then goes to a black screen with a wine error. A force quit of the bottle appears to be needed as task manager would launch but would be unresponsive to input.

What wasn't tested:
multiplayer

special notes:

• at the single player start / load screen - if you go to create a new character, all of the controls work, and you are able to set the name and alignment, etc. BUT the one thing not drawn at all is the actual character model. I've tried the game in windows through bootcamp so I know what it should look like - there is a set of controls to change to one of 4 different characters that you can rotate using left and right arrows. the left and right arrows work, the appropriate information changes, and the rotating platform does what its supposed to do, but the actual rendering of the character is not there.

You don't say what kind of Mac you're using, and what kind of GPU, and what OS version. In any case, it might be worth experimenting with useGLSL -- try both "disabled" and "enabled" as values.

(When Steam complains that your video driver is old, it's because it doesn't match known Windows video driver ID strings. That's not surprising since the Mac driver ID strings are different. It's a benign warning and you can ignore it.)
