Mouse/Trackpad & Mac- Not clicking

They should figure out what WE need to do, and put up a guide, if it is not something they can fix on their end.

I agree in principle and I'd love to do so, but it's the kind of thing that's kinda hard to debug without being able to reproduce the problem locally, since I'd need to make a lot of little experiments with the client to figure out what's going wrong.

I am using a mid 2012 Mac Pro, I don't know what is needed so here's everything: 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB with the most up to date Java. I'm having the same issue on an 09' Macbook Pro however.

I played Salem a few years ago and received an email the other day saying the game had been released. I was really bummed to learn about this issue. After an hour or two of reading forum posts and trying different color-change utilities with no success, I had to give up. As someone else said, I understand this issue may not be the Developers' fault at all, but I think we can all agree the user shouldn't have to make those kinds of changes to their system to play (and it's hard to say if that even solves this particular issue). It may be that it isn't even feasible for you guys to recreate/solve this bug, in which case it may be best to not say Salem can be played on Macs. It's lame to frustrate and waste the time of people who really want to play the game

Anyway I hope this doesn't come across as overly abrasive. Salem just seems right up my alley and I was really excited about playing. I do appreciate what you guys do. Goodluck!

I just changed the color depth while client was open and it worked. Thnx for the posts.

Nice! What tool did you use to change your color depth? What did you change it from/to? What OS version do you have? Thank you ahead of time!

Didn't realise you were a dev. I know you are a small team with a small budget, and I would assume that mac players make up a small % of your players, so I don't really have any right to demand anything, but why can't you reproduce the problem locally? Do you not have a mac machine (if not, how can you even be properly developing a cross platform game?) or is the problem not as widespread as it appears? I understand if it's just maybe too much work for not enough payoff, but then please just say so.

If you have any info on how you went about doing so, i'd love to hear it.

For the record, the game did use to work, I played years ago and it worked fine. I believe the issue may lie with macbooks, or the retina display, but i'm not sure. I don't have an external monitor at the moment, or i'd try hooking it up and see if it worked.
anyhow, just my rant.

My bug is on iMac 2012 with external monitor. On Mac I think isn't monitor problem, I think Java version or similar. Waiting for upgrade from devs.

I had the same issue , was unknowingly using 16 bit color and not 32. You can change it under your vid card settings.

Well, not anymore, but I stay around and help out a bit now and then. :)

Do you not have a mac machine (if not, how can you even be properly developing a cross platform game?) or is the problem not as widespread as it appears?

Both of those; I don't have a Mac, and not everyone with a Mac has the problem. Using Java and OpenGL helps the client work on Macs to some extent without me having one.

Nice question, without answer
