After months of happily frolicking about the cataclysm the damn codes goofed and now mac is unplayable _EVEN_ when using homebrew to get past how **utterly ruined** the pre-compiled versions are.

This problem seems to effect everything in the game with a colour attached to it, and trust me, i tried changing every colour in the monsters.json just to see if i could get it to work, but alas; I kinda suck at diagnosing and fixing these things, im a cata-consumer. I didnt sign up for this 😉

**bummer.**

well, guess im done with cataclysm until this gets resolved; any ideas are welcome.

What’s your OSX version? I can try to install it to VM to test.

Or at least Wine. I agree with sam that OSX cata should be fixed not abandoned but it would be a decent work around while Mac players are waiting for the fix to come through. I just wish Mac and Linux players could get a sweet launcher like Windows players have without installing Wine and running the Windows version.
