Just a small update, A5 doesn't work. Hopefully the Leopard update will help out, I understand you're busy now with the release and all.

Actually the problem persists in the older macs version as well... I'll wait for the Leopard update. It'd be a shame if I couldn't play A5 due to hardware problems though, I've been a Spiderweb fan since Exile 2 was the new kid on the block.

Jeff is hoping that Apple comes out with an update to fix the problems. In the mean time he's working on getting Avernum 5 out this month so it works with Leopard.

He may have to port all the graphics files to a different format and then have testers go through to see if all the graphics work. I think he's hoping to avoid this.
Well if he needs someone who has this problem I could be a guinea pig for him.

It's a full version, I tried redownloading it, which didn't help. Then I deleted the prefs and tried again to no avail.

Before I say anything, I would like to say that I have read the thread earlier about the graphical problems caused by Leopard, mine seems to be both different and worse. I just bought the newest generation of MacBook and much to my dismay found that the load screen as well as the rest of the game is completely garbled to the point where it is unusable. Using command+n to create a new game showed that this problem was not just with the loading screen, but with the entire game, making it completely unplayable. Is this a fixable problem? It is much worse than a few lines. Here are some screenshots to give you a better idea of my problem:

Anybody else run into this problem? I'm worried that it will happen in A5 too.

What is the command to open the cheats menu? I remember using the exitzone quite a bit in the older ones but can't remember the keys to enter cheats.
