I've got a 10.4 Macbook Pro and all I can get is the fullscreen and then a "server not connecting message". My internet works fine, so I don't know what the problem is.
I was just on vacation and the game worked fine at the hotel. However, I had a graphics problem (the screen would get covered by random text and graphics) and I've emailed the POTCO support team. I got a message back saying that I might need a graphics firmware update, but I've looked and there doesn't seem to be such an update for the GeForce 8600M GT video card.
