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).

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.

Installer/game not launching correctly on newer Macs

General information

Backing up the registration key

If you want to play the game with the same key, transfer the "avernum.dat" file (Windows) or "Avernum Prefs" (Mac) 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.[3] 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

Recommended two-button mouse, or Apple mouse with Secondary Button / Secondary Click enabled.
These are GOG.com system requirements; retail requirements are much lower.
