The official list of games broken in 10.4. List away peoples.

Sim City 4 Rush Hour. Hardware rendering doesn't work, graphics are all screwed up. Switching to software rendering fixes the issue.

I can't get COD to run in Multiplayer, runs fine, actually better for me, in single player, but nothing happens when I click the multiplayer. The icon goes into the dock and it shows in the menu, but nothing else. I hope it isn't just me.

Same thing is happening with Tron 2.0 for me. Sucks too, because I just bought it today

No, thats just your computer rejecting a bad game. Which is totally natural.

This is an issue that goes back to the original release of the game. Mac Soft released a new installer which works (I had to do this last night). Download it here:

http://www.macsoftgames.com/products...taller.tar.bz2

Stick the DVD in the drive, and run the downloaded installer app.

yup, it's not Tiger the UT installer just sucks that bad.

Can anyone tell me if they have COD or COD UO working in multiplayer? I start the game, and the icon bounces, stops, stays there and nothing happens. I have deleted and reinstalled many times. I have even backed up my personal stuff and reformatted just to see if that was a problem. If it is a new install of the game it asks for the cod or cod uo key and then the same as above happens. I have emailed Aspyr many times and they have given me some ideas, but none of them have worked. I have a 17" G4 1GHz iMac with 1 GB RAM and a 200GB hard drive. The game worked great in 10.3.9, but since upgrading to Tiger, it is a no go. I did get multiplayer to work on an eMac at a school I work at, but still no go here at home.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

well So far I have only tried one game. Halo gets a 33 percent boost in the timedemo and a noticable boost in single player and multiplayer, still works fine.

OK, I'm almost embarrased to ask... but does StarCraft still work under Tiger? Does anyone know? I'd really be disappointed if not so let me know if anyone knows!

Thanks.

Will 10.4.1 address some of these issue?

I actually got COD to work in Multiplayer, I just have to leave my computer sit there for 3-5 minutes, which sucks, but at least on can kill nazi's again!

I find this Tron 2.0 installer on the files.macplay.com server:

I'm installing Tron right now. I hope it works.

I downloaded the demo to Nascar Racing 2003. It won't launch at all. The config app will launch but that is about it.

UT2004 demo works fine but both it and Quake 3 occasionally render the Mac cursor on screen.
