Issues unresolved
- You can work around many glitches by using game's character editor.
Issues fixed
Black screen with only sprites visible
- When transferring old save games, this can happen because the game acts as a demo and a registration key is required (this does not happen on GOG.com version of the game).
- Solution: Requesting a new key.[2]
Performance issue on Intel OS X Tiger
- This shouldn't be a problem on OS X Leopard. Upgrading to the new operating system will solve the problem, as long as your machine can run in Thousands of Colors mode.
No CarbonLib error
- If you get an error that you don't have CarbonLib installed, your machine is missing the software that let's you run OS X compatible application. Fortunately, you can download this software here.
Installing from CD on Vista and later
- If you have problems, follow these steps:
CD on Vista and later[citation needed] |

|
Screen Freeze Bug On OS X
Screen Freeze[3] |
---|
|
Installer/game not launching correctly on newer Macs
Renaming to .app[citation needed] |
---|
|
Reactivating Character Editor
Character editor[citation needed] |

Other information
Backing up the registration key
- If you want to play the game with the same key, transfer the "Avernum3.dat" file (Windows) in Data folder or "Avernum 3 Prefs" (OS X) located in the Preferences folder (inside the Systems folder on your hard drive) to a safe place.
Requesting a new key
- If you have lost a registration key, go to this page or e-mail the developer to get one.[4] Be sure to add:
- The game title
- The complete mailing address you ordered the game under (NOT an E-mail address)
- The new game and/or editor registration number the game is giving you now
- Windows or Macintosh version
