As workaround until next update -- workable fix 1:

• Download fixed file from here: http://xmage.today/X/mage-client-1.4.50.jar
• Copy that file to your_launcher_folder\xmage\mage-client\lib

P.S.

Experimental fix 2 for never worked macos with m1/m2 (who can't run xmage due startup freeze for many years): Not work…

• disable auto-connect in connection dialog and close xmage;
• download and replace file http://xmage.today/X/macos/fix2/mage-client-1.4.50.jar
• open launcher settings - java - client options and add at the end xxx -Dxmage.fullScreen=true (xxx - your old settings, then space, then new setting);
• it's test version, you can't play on public or local server with it;
•

Workaround now provided access to the interface but Mac Client freezes when using mouse for most configuration windows (e.g.: Using drop down menus or clicking with mouse inside a pop-up window to change a setting). ** Work around is using keyboard only with tab + enter keys but this is not always possible for example when prompted to enter a value such as number of cards to draw during play.

@danielfranke did old versions (from last months) also not work on your mac due freeze on menu usage?

@danielfranke did old versions (from last months) also not work on your mac due freeze on menu usage?

Previous versions did allow me to access the interface (unlike newest version) but freeze up regularly when using any kind of menu with drop down. Buttons when used alone worked as expected.

@danielfranke can you try that fix -- is it workable? Nope, it's not

• http://xmage.today/X/v2/mage-client-1.4.50.jar

Unfortunately, this version does not work. The client hangs before I can connect to any server.
The previous version produced better results (http://xmage.today/X/mage-client-1.4.50.jar).

@danielfranke can you write me DM in discord https://discord.gg/Qn7gN6VR ? I have some versions and tooltips for possible fix.

I'm running into (what appears to be) the same issue. Any updates on this? Glad to provide any info needed

Solutuion for users who raplaced java, but can't play on public servers -- now it can be compatible: #12768

[JayDi85]

Original problem was in wrong implementation of modal windows (xmage code for system events processing). Not actual anymore with non-blocking UI in last release #12825
