    If we get the Genesis working then i wonder if we have to download the game again or does it just miraculously start working again

    Newest From CodeWeavers:

    Hello,

    We're still investigating what is causing PW not to run after this latest update. We hope to have a workaround or fix for this early next week. Your ticket has been added to our internal bug on this issue and you'll be notified when there are more details.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I have that same problem on mine. Even though i play on windowed screen, my whole Macbook screen goes white (except for the bar with the clock at the top) after the first loading screen and then nothing happens. When I try to quit, it gives me a "program not responding" message. I have OSX Snow leopard and the new Crossover 10.0.1 version. I hope we can get this figured out soon.

    Hey guys! I have been trying for the past two days to get the update to begin, and I finally got it and i'm running PW genesis through crossover!

    What i did was I opened the old version of Perfect World Rising Tide. When it said update, I clicked later instead of update. Then I manually clicked update, and the update began.

    After FOUR 1/2 HOURS of downloading the new version, I was able to open Perfect World.

    The end result was, for me, whenever I open perfect world- it shows the old Rising Tide opening screen, and where i enter the username & password screen- it shows the old Rising Tide background, but in actual gameplay, everything works perfectly.

    I crash every now and then but it used to do that on the old version too... I think its just what happens when macs D/C

    Anyways, if you guys have any questions for me my skype is breentke, or you can PM my main Nascha on the Harshlands server.

    im kinda confused when i open the launcher it says update now or later i click later. like she said.... then it goes away then it says client out of date prepating to update . then a popup comes up and says select your dl automatic or cancel? i choose cancel . then i try to click manual update then the patch # but nothing happens. should i have clicked automatic? when the popup came up?

    1.Launcher asks to update: Click update later
    2. After it has loaded a bit it asks again if you want automatic update(Click auto update)
    3. Make sure when the box with 3 circles ticked has the patch 2 not 1 and only load the patch 2 Thats the Perfect world game... Patch 1 is the genesis launcher which bugs the game so dont load it!
    Correct me if i'm wrong... Im following these steps my self at the moment ;D

    The person who said they got it working should of been more accurate on the information that was given . if it was only patch 2 she should of said that. im about at 80% of the update which has taken about 3 hours now . if it was all for nothing ill be kinda upset

    Most of us have loaded the whole game for nothing...=/
    Once you have the PWI Rising Tide loaded and it asks for the steps i already posted here then only load the genesis patch 2 dont download patch 1 because thats the genesis launcher and it bugs the game... Im not sure if this works for the all of us because im testing it at the moment and maybe Nascha was just lucky to get it work.

    Okies... I finally got it working... If you have Rising Tide already then download the patch from the PWI website and take the Torrent one. Once you have downloaded and opened the torrent open the ".rar" you get from it. Once the ".rar" has loaded find it from the Downloads folder. There should be now a PWI dowloader. Open the file and you find installer with the crossover icon on it. Once you open and download it then it should work normally=P
    Add me on skype if you want more information ;)

    I have added some people on Skype but cant see you guys online =/
    I got it working by first downloading the game from the crossover games. After that i loaded the manual patch from PWI site and downloaded the torrent version. After the game was downloaded it worked fine =P

    I also use crossover games for mac and mine installed fine, just used the automatic update as usual like any other update. Download took like 10 hours though ._.

    But it doesn't really run well, I've had horrible lag ever since. I have no idea why it's so bad like this, it'll be fine then suddenly it freezes and I'll have really high 20-45k ping and can't do anything. This never happened to me before the expansion. It's really hard to play with this lag b:surrender
