hello, i have wanted to play perfect world on osx for a while now but i have suddenly found out how to do it! on the launcher after i press start, it used to give me an error which had intelligeble language but i spotted DirectX hidden in there. So i searched the net and found that i had to emulate the virtual desktop. now it works and goes to the log in part but the mouse doesnt work! it just flashes :( is there a way to get this to work? or a way to make my normal osx mouse appear over the game instead of using the game's mouse? and one more thing, when i had the game "optimised" for my computer, the graphics go all glowy and blurry, but for now i will try to get it to work on minimum graphics. Thanks for your time :)
there are some issues with cursors vanishing on 1.1.42 and 1.1.43 on several games. Its fixed in the git... if you get and build from there it should work... or wait for 1.1.44.... or go back to 1.1.41. If the game has an option for a Software Cursor, that could temporarily fix it too.
sorry i have no idea how to do what you said.. :( and i cant remembered how i compiled wine for mac. and the amazing annoying glow is fixed by turning off glow option..
sorry for double post what will i lose in going back to 1.1.41

I always have every version of Wine available, some programs just run better in certain older versions... no reason to stick to just 1 version. are you using a source install? Macports? Crossover? Wineskin? Winebottler? Macindows?
i remember i had wine bottler and i have winetricks.. some how... i looked on the update and it is still 1.1.43 How do i use the source on a mac? or the others, which is better? :(
hehe... i tried your wineskin and i get the message i used to get - iaugfpiasdufhmasigfjawgrpiweb;kasjbfiasgdfisdfgiasubfasdufasDirectXasidfuhlais after i clicked launcher. This was fixed on the pure wine by using a virtual desktop but then i get the unexistent mouse ...

Move the WineskinEngine.bundle from the STO wrapper, over to your wrapper... then your wrapper should work... as long as your in a virtual desktop, or fullscreen.

He has been very busy and out of his normal area of work for a while :) With the upcoming Wine release series, things will get very interesting. James McKenzie
Thanks I will look into the star treck wrapper. But how do I turn on the virtual desktop on your wrapper and this game has two exe files. One for patcher and one for the game and I saw a few other exe/wine files. And one more thing, the update for my wine will come when the guy who runs winebottler gets it working... Right?
in the advanced options, i need to find the exe inside the wrapper. im a little confused, i cant find the game launcher inside drive_c :/
nvm again :P i just moved my new version of perfect world, and moved the whole folder into drive_c/program files/Prefect world entertainment now ill finish patching test it and then use the sto wineengine if it doesnt work... excited! :P
ok it gave me the invisible mouse, now i closed it, found the perfect world wrapper i made with wineskin and it opens up two wineskin apps on my dock but nothing happens, even debug mode doesnt work.. :O
nooo... 1.1.44 fails me! i finally got the update and still no mouse! The tragedy! i also tried 1.1.35 with winebottler - still no mouse :( i guess i will have to get some help with building PerfectWorld with wineskin
