Key points
- Mac version of the game bought directly from the developer currently only works on OS X prior to 10.7 (Lion) and on older MacBooks without GMA X3100 graphics chip. If you want to play on an unsupported OS X, purchase the game from GOG.com or download the game from here. You will also need to install Rosetta if you have an Intel-based Macintosh.

Movement handling
- In Avernum 2, characters can be moved with a mouse, arrow keys or numeric keypad. However mouse movement is too sensitive for some people and arrow keys only move in directions perpendicular to the cardinal (N, E, W, S) which can be a problem, especially since doors and pathways are set alongside the cardinal directions. To be able to move diagonally:
- Use the numeric keypad or
- Download ToArrows utility (registration required).
Audio settings
Issues unresolved
- You can work around many glitches by using game's character editor.
- Incompatibility with newest MacBooks with the GMA X3100 graphics chip (not present in GOG.com version).
- Incompatibility with Mac OS X 10.7 and newer (not present in GOG.com version).[1]
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]
