    Hi all,

    Returning player here. Just redownloaded updated client for Mac OS 15+ Catalina. Using Crossover 20.4.

    Character Selection screen causes freeze and I can't play the game. I've tried all of the suggested workarounds:
    • Not selecting a channel, going to character select
    • Selecting channel, selecting character, pressing enter key
    • Selecting channel, selecting character, pressing 'enter game' button
    • Restarting computer
    Sounds like this is a common problem for Mac users. Anyone have advice for how to play the game?

    For anyone who has this problem, I was able to solve it by literally just keeping the client open for like 10 minutes before doing any of the above

    Hey, found an unconventional solve that works consistently for me. Might be worth a try. I'm on a mac, M1 Chip, OS Ventura.

    After you get to the character select screen, click on any character and start the "delete character" process. Enter a random date so you don't actually delete the character. Once you click through the prompts, click the character you want and press "return" on the keyboard. Should be able to get through

    What the hell! Why does this work? It works consistently for me too. LOL. This is ridiculous but I guess I'm gonna be doing that for now.

    I wonder if this would work on my windows machine I gave up on, too.

    Note: I'm only getting these crashes since I updated my mac to v14 today, worked fine before.

    Here is my solution:

    Step 1. After selecting a channel, you get to the character selecting screen. Don't use mouse to click here!!! Use "<-" and "->" key to select chars and press "tab" key to make the "Select Character" option on(a green leaf arrow shows on right of it), then press "enter" key. Most time you will enter into game successfully after doing this.

    Step 2. If failed, force quit the client and reopen it. After you get to the character selecting screen, press "back" option until you get to the first page, then enter password again, then repeat Step 1 again, this time you will enter into game successfully(quite weird).

    I don't know why but this works for me.

    It's so weird this works when not using mouse. Do you know how to make this work without crossover? maybe just pure wine?
