Unfortunately, that would be impossible. If you aren't registered, how would the server know whether you were the author of the post you were trying to edit? Anyway, it's not that Ambrosia won't "let" you register, it's that registration broke when they moved to the new server and they haven't been able to get it online again yet.

Sorry to sound like a jerk...oh wait, I'm not sorry.**

I don't know this in any real context, but I assume that Beenox is working on the issue (which is probably with Coldstone) that will hopefully be fixed in their next update. Until then, you can run it in Classic with a minor speed drop.

By the way, I wouldn't recommend spamming the webboards... people who do that tend to, instead of catching attention, drive Andrew et al to ignore their wishes. There was a similar issue on the Avara webboard a couple of months back.

Well, if that's the case, I apologize to Andrew et al..and, if I could, I would delete my spamming. If any administrator is reading this, please go ahead and delete my "temporarally insane" postings.

with deepest regrets and apologies,

btw, I was driven to that point when I started getting the same crashes on 9.2.2 as I did on OS 10.1.3 (using a dual processor machine)...I haven't played PoG for almost a week now because of that :o(

I have an iMac 500 mhz and POG crashes on it. POG crashes more frequently when fighting mages or tougher monsters & crashed twice on my husband while using the elf's portal. So I don't think it's just a dual processor issue. We are using the most current OSX version and I wonder if this is a problem in X or in POG...

This is a problem with OS X. Ambrosia has had a world of bug reports from OS X, both with POG and with the game editor that created POG. They are currently working on a patch for their game editor which should fix most(if not all) of the issues with OS X. It would be my guess that once the editor is patched it will only take a recompile of the POG data files to create a new version of POG that is fixed for OS X. So I am looking for an updated Coldstone and POG out in the near future.

Btw, I would still strongly recommend sending a bug report in to notify them of your problem. Even if they have already heard about your particular problem it would be better that they have an excess of reports than it would be for no one to send the report in and the bug not be fixed(and thus you continue to have these problems). Plus it is possible that someone sent in a bug report on this issue but the designers were unable to reproduce it, and any additional information that you give might help them to find and resolve the issue. So please send in a bug report as it is the only way to guarentee that this issue receives the proper attention.

Bug reports can be made by sending an email to: help@ambrosiasw.com with an informative subject heading(in this instance something like: POG bug report - crashing under OS X). In your email please provide your system specs(hardware, memory, Operating system version) and as much information about the bug as possible(when does it crash, does it crash more frequently when you do certain things, etc). The more info you can provide will make it easier for the designers to track down the problem and fix it for you.

Thanks.

Stark,

I've been a beta tester for years, though not for Ambrosia so it's strange that I never thought of filing a bug report smacking forehead on this. Thanks for reminding me that bug reports are as important when coming from users as from the brave guinnea pigs.

Not anymore! Oh yeah, Baby!!!!!
