Not sure how that would happen... typically it should capture all the input... I guess some other app running may somehow be taking priority and input, but just not showing up on the screen because the screen is captured? I never use Ctrl+Space ... if its just that key combo, try changing it. I set fire all to the ~ key…

Everyone... on some Macs with some settings, people get lucky and play for a while, like maybe 30 minutes to an hour... but for most people it crashes within minutes to seconds, if you can even get in at all. Right now the "Mac Client" is basically broken.
-
I seriously doubt it... I crash every few minutes in the Official version... I play the same exact DX9 version with Wineskin and have played 4 or 5 hours straight with no issues. It will take advantage of everything your machine has... put in the extra wait state for graphics (slows down your graphics) in the STO options,…

There is a memory leak I believe is graphics related. The longer you play, the more likely it is you'll finally get performance issues, or crashes. The higher your graphics settings, the sooner this happens. I think this is a general Wine issue, as it happens for me in several games, not just STO. I play with rather medium…

WineskinX11 is built into the wrapper, it shouldn't require XQuartz to be installed. Wine and Cider both on OS X are basically 32 bit only... so thats not the issue. You can go in Wineskin.app and change it to use the Mac Driver instead of X11. That seems to work ok, except you have no multitasking easily. I have had X11…

Hold down 'fn' when you launch the app, to get Wineskin menu.... or right click the app, show packages contents, and run Wineskin.app inside there. Go to Screen Options, and there is a slider bar for extra gamma correction that will help some. X11 driver for Wine uses an older extension for controlling things like this.…

Sorry guys, I never expected it to work on every system... didn't do much troubleshooting, just got it working on my own. I'm using nvidia video, but I'm also running on OS X 10.8.5 ... I have not tested it on 10.9.x or 10.10.x You may want to try some different graphics settings... some are more crash prone than others.…

Try this... Download this wrapper https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4486028/STO/STO%20Delta%20Rising.zip Copy this folder from the official version Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/StarTrekOnline To this location in the downloaded Wineskin wrapper Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/StarTrekOnline Let it patch…

I'm playing using Wineskin on my 2012 MBP Retina (geforce 650m), and I've been on a few hours with no crashes... I just took the last UMV I had made, and updated it to Wineskin 2.6.0, then copied the game folder contents from c_drive in the official Cider wrapper over.... it patched like 4gb of stuff, then its ran fine…

upgrade your machine and use the official Mac version... thats what I use... the Unofficial version isn't needed any more... this thread is pretty irrelevant unless you are trying to use a really old machine to play running 10.6, which isn't supported by the official version. If your machine has 10.6 and cannot upgrade to…

You are really better off upgrading your OS and using the official Mac version. If you really need to get this one working, you need to give a lot more details...
-
They did write a real version, just recently. I made this years ago, its been around for the life of STO. Use the official Mac version Beta, and not this.
-
Why stick with 10.6? you can upgrade to 10.9 for free... is there some reason you have to stick with 10.6?
-
you shouldn't be using this... use the official Mac version. Look here... http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=911681
-
you're welcome :-) took them a long time though... i started that up during beta, long before Perfect World. I'm glad they see the benefit of it now. I'd always rather have a good supported Mac version than having to roll my own. I haven't played STO in several months now... looking forward to playing again.
-
Awesome! Cannot wait
-
Wineskin is working fine on 10.9... so this *should* work unless there is some weird graphics driver bug or something else unexpected. I'll try it out some time when I upgrade to Mavericks. Since Mavericks is free to anyone running 10.6+, there is little reason to not upgrade.
-
I have no idea anything about Guild Wars 2... but an Intel HD 3000 is very low end graphics. I have used it though and it will work, but you need to run bare minimum settings. 4GB of ram doesn't help either... that 384mb of ram for graphics comes out of there too.
-
I tried the D3DBoost... with it enabled I actually got worse performance in STO... but you can always try it, just switch to that engine and use the registry setting change to enable it. D3DBoost can help, and in some games its made incredible performance gains... but its still preliminary changes that one day will get all…
-
one is a Finder OS X app bundle launch... the other calls a system command like running the command line bypassing a few things. There have been bug fixes around this... if your using an older wrapper you should update.
-
anytime its patched... let it set at that screen a long time. depending on computer and network speed, it could take 10 to 15 minutes to get past that screen. Theres really nothing I can do to fix that issue, its and underlying problem between what Wine wants to do, and some libraries OSX uses... if there is no patch, it…
-
just keep trying different in-game graphics settings... like Bloom and such and see if you can get it to go away.
-
may need more info... Anytime its patched, or sometimes when it crashes out of the game strangely, after you hit Engage it may take a long time to load. WHen I say a long time, i mean a really long time, like 10 or 15 minutes... where it will look frozen. If you have exited cleanly or has not had a new patch, it should go…
-
I'm not familiar with that message... sounds like a STO message complaining about something so that it cannot start the launcher to log in? Not sure what would cause that... but my first thing to do would be to reboot the computer and see what happens.... second move the game files into a new fresh copy of the wrapper...…
-
its in the directions... on how to upgrade the wrapper. All of the game files are in a single folder... Cryptic Studios... just move the folder from one wrapper to the other in the same spot... done.
-
no real clue why that would happen... but did you try just copying the game files from the old wrapper into a fresh copy of the wrapper? If you do that and it works... no game patching required, and we know something is getting corrupted in the wrapper itself. If you do that and it doesn't work... then the game files…
-
yes... anytime after a patch, it can be extremely slow on the loading screen... depending on your machine speed it can take 5 to 15 minutes to actually load in. Sometimes so long the session times out and you have to give STO your credentials again. This should only happen after a patch, not on every load. I wish i could…
-
I hope they make a native Mac version... even if its Cider/Wine based I don't care... but something supported would be great. I've never seen it take that long to change a map... no idea whats going on there. OS X 10.8 has the best video drivers with the least issues, but technically it *should* run on 10.7.5 ok. The setup…
-
need to test to see if it works... it may not be a problem, or it may completely kill this working at all.
-
temperature issues on Macbooks are pretty common with gaming... any game, Wineskin or not. in STO you could go in graphics to Troubleshooting section and set for it to use less GPU. The graphics might slow down a bit, but it will run a lot cooler. You could also get a program like SMCFanControl. I always use this to make…
