News Server down time and Elite: Dangerous for Mac

[Rerlop Theex]

In the meantime, download the mono framework if you don't already have it. It's a required download....

Thanks for the PM's! We are dealing with this issue right now!

In the meantime you can grab the installer from;
http://hosting.zaonce.net/elite/Client-Installer.dmg

Thanks,
Col

Ok. That's all working now and I'm downloading! Thanks!

I just keep getting bounced back to log-in screen now, can't even get to downloads folder...

edit: pm with account email sent if it helps.

I was having that happen with Safari, tried in firefox instead and it logged in fine.

 

[Rerlop Theex]

I'm logged in to the client and downloading. Whoop!

Thanks for the installer. I can't use it though. When I try to log in, the installer says "Exception attempting query: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for..." and then the rest is obscured by the login buttons. Any ideas?

Delete cookies, or log in with a new private window.

Still no Mac download from the store. Go download the Mono framework

Installing

 

[tagew]

Aha. The launcher needs the mono framework to do its thing. That solved it!

did this update update the launcher a bit too? Cause the store button now goes to the steam store that just has ship skins on it and there's a play button for the combat tutorial now before logging in?

MONO was needed for Beta also

I think the Windows version, at least, has always been able to play the tutorials before logging in. It would make sense for the Mac version to work the same way.

Presume the installer (alone?) is written in .net ....

Downloaded and running!

Now I just need to remap my HOTAS X keys...

 

[Rerlop Theex]

Thank you FD!!!! I have ED running on my Mac. Now to just check controller mappings and I'll see you all out in the void!

But those of us without beta access wouldn't know that. I didn't anyway

 

[Von Shadow]

Well Done FDEV.... works a treat and performance is spot on.... running it actually marginally higher than my bootcamp!

Nothing on my store, but downloaded the launcher from the link. When trying to install I get the error "incorrect manifest Checksum'

Looks like this is Amazon struggling. Try it again?

Just been logged in on my Mac and successfully left the station I was in, hyperspaced to next system and docked, 60 fps most of the time. As my main gear (TM Warthog HOTAS with Saitek Pro Pedals) is all plugged in to my PC, I was using a Black Widow for controls and am very pleased with the performance. I will of course continue to mainly use my PC to play, but it is good to know I have a reliable backup system on my Mac in case of problems or if I want a quick check on something in E: D while playing another game on the PC. Very happy.

Finally! Thank you FD! The Beta has been a lot of fun.
