Can anybody else test this? I cannot get the Diablo II OS X Native installer to work under the new seed of Tiger 8A323. I send an email to Blizzard, but have not heard anything. Can someone else try it for me?

Thanks!!

[rbarris]

feel free to send me a more detailed email with any screenshots or crash logs. We'll figure out what is up and if we need to revise anything or if we need to file bugs with Apple.

rbarris "at" blizzard.com

I havent been able to send rbarris the details yet, but it appears to be a nil value error for a string in some CFMutableString method. I think I have enough information for Rob so he can go in and fix the code very easily/quickly. This appears similiar to a NullPointerException in Java. I'll send you what you need later tonight and the specific Error messages and screens you need.

Thanks very much for all your help Rob!

The installer 2.0 does not work for WoW etiher with ADC Tiger build 8A323. It shows a window with the login gateway screen with the pillars and flames but offers no textfileds or buttons to press.

Please investigate this rbarris if you can. This is going to cause problems with Tiger is released.

As requested by mods over in the OS X forum, please direct Tiger related questions to Apple and other software companies concerned, not here. Nobody here is going to be able to help you. Early prerelease builds are going to have bugs. LOTS of bugs. If you're going to beta test Tiger, you have to learn to expect this, that's what beta testers are for. Report the problem to Apple and it will be fixed. If you can't live with bugs, then don't use prerelease software, use Panther.

Yeah man, sheesh. Tiger is not even released and you are all over the place trying to find out why stuff doesn't work!?

And you are a developer? I'd think you'd know better....

You already have Rob's email address. Just send him a note.

[CincyGamer]

Seems to be fixed now. There was a new Tiger release.

[a2daj]

Is there anything in your NDA that mentions not talking about Tiger specifics in public? I'm just curious.

[The iMac Man]

This guy is just bragging....

[CincyGamer]

this isnt Tiger NDA violation. All I have said is that Wow doesnt work on Tiger. That is a problem with Blizzard's Wow. Wow runs on top of the OS. Just like I could say Virtual PC 7 doesnt run on Tiger (hypothetical). Thats not saying much.

If I said Wow doesnt work on Mac OS X 10.9 (Futura) and 10.9 was top-secret then that is NDA because I would be annoucing a top-secret product. Or I went in an announced Virtual PC 8 was 100% 128-bit (its not). The person/people that annouced mac mini before the show. that is a real example of NDA breakage. But fine, maybe my post was inappropriate.
World of Warcraft is officially not supported on 10.4 so who cares. How they fixed it is NDA, and I'm not telling because that would be NDA violation. Its just a game.

[a2daj]

My understanding is that the NDA covers any comments on issues, crashes, performance, as well as undisclosed features and capabilities.

You need to read that NDA a little closer. Additionally, Apple has recently placed text in bold red caps on the developer download site that explains the key points of the NDA: namely, you can't talk about anything that relates to pre-release software in a public forum.

[The iMac Man]

He also announced that there was a new build released.... surely that's breaking the NDA.

can someone post this nda i want to read it

[omar96]

Based on what I've read about NDA's, the NDA may even include a clause preventing the signer from talking about the specifics of the NDA itself, so that's not going to happen
