PlanetSide Tips

[Outdated] OS X installation instructions

Installing under CrossOver Mac 6.1.0:

1. Create a Windows98 bottle.
2. Install DCOM98 and Internet Explorer 6.0 into that bottle
3. Open up winecfg:
    i. Click "Configure".
    ii. Click "Manage Bottles"
    iii. Choose your PlanetSide bottle
    iv. Click the "Control Panel" tab
    v. Click "winecfg" and click "Launch selected item".
Inside Winecfg, make sure the Graphics-> Vertex Shader and Pixel shader support are one of the following:
      A. Hardware vertex shaders / NO Pixel Shaders (faster rendering at the expense of some effects)
      B. Emulated vertex shaders / Pixel Shaders (more accurate display)
      C. No Vertex shaders/ No Pixel shaders or Yes Pixel shaders (doesn't seem to help or hurt anything further)
3. Download Planetside from various retailers (You need a CD-Key to play).
4. Install PlanetSide into the Windows98 bottle.
5. Run PlanetSide.exe which launches Launchpad.exe and asks you to login or create an account (haven't tested creating an account from Launchpad)
The game will download, install, and patch from within the Launchpad application with no problems. Click "Play" and you're good to go!
