missing mouse pointer on new mac operating system

[bones65]

hi ..i've just bought pandora a couple o days ago, but since i've just upgraded to the new mac operating system, the mouse has disappeared

[bones65]

mouse pointer still not on screen when pandora starts up! ..is there a fix for this? has anyone else "upgraded" to YOSEMITE and had problems?

[SephiRok]

Could you please give the latest Mac beta version (1.5.4) a try?

[bones65]

yeah sure..

[bones65]

will that install onto yosemite? ..also, there appears to be later versions .. also does that mean that java will be on my mac? ..they continuously ask to 'upgrade' ..is this good? notice upgrade is in inverted commas, as usually that means 'will no longer work with'

[bones65]

also asks for arduino to be installed which needs java..then i can only see half of the page of what i'm installing! ..isn't it just better to fix the bug? i probably won't be the only one getting this

[bones65]

didn't work .. but thanks

[bones65]

i guess i'll just not be able to play it till the bug is fixed ..a bit irritating since i've just bought it and nashira..was just starting to get the hang of it ..

Same here, I have Yosemite installed and mouse pointer is missing.

[bones65]

thank goodness someone else has! lol! ..that means more are to follow.. need a bug fix guys,..before you get a que ..they will fix it Elecen,..that's what made me buy pandora rather than Sid meirs' new one ..which looks rather similar ..i've got battle academy and all of panzercorps and unity of command, panthers in the fog,..and all the support for the games has been great..and all the games are great too. ..thought i'd excell myself and get a space buildy kinda thang,..and was just about understanding it..frustrating,..and it's not really slitherine's fault..rather it's apple,..but if you wrote to apple you'd get nothing..write to slitherine , and they DO care someone will be sweating outv a solution as a patch/update as we speah

Are you running version 1.5.4? Mouse pointer shows up fine for me with that version.

[SephiRok]

Hotfixed cursor disappearing in Mac OS X Yosemite in the Pandora public release version.

[bones65]

how do i go about that? could you provide a link please ? .. i'm sure others would find this useful too

Are you running version 1.5.4? Mouse pointer shows up fine for me with that version.

How should anyone be able to run 1.5.4?
The game's version is 1.5.3 on steam, the standalone and the standalone set to beta.

[bones65]

i'm not on steam.. i bought physical copy, but am on mac :-/

[SephiRok]

Just start Pandora and let it update.

1.5.4 is beta on Mac; but the issue has also been hotfixed on 1.5.3.

[bones65]

but yes ..i'm totally confused :0D

[bones65]

i have! and it's still not there ! :-/

[bones65]

shall i just de install it and start again? i'm just a bit cheezed atm.. :-/ mouse pointer came on screen for about 1 second, and then disappeared..tokk me a couple minutes to get out of the start screen bu imagining where the pointer was until it highlighted the option i wanted ..reminded me of Z steel soldiers days

[SephiRok]

It seems to not be fully resolved. Looking into it further.
