Macs and FUMBBL

Post by Jonny_P »

"Just get a PC instead"

Got it... now for a real response! :D

I'm attempting to run FUMBBL for the first time on my Mac. I setup a new team and then it attempts to connect but asks me where my "JavaBBowl Directory" is.

I have no idea.

Can anyone help?

Sounds like you are using the old LRB4 version Jonny. Did you make an Academy team? If so, forget it and make a Ranked or Blackbox team. Academy has not been switched to CRP yet.
Edit: Looks like made an A team, I assume you are JonnyP on Fumbbl.

With Ranked, you pick your games, Box schedules them every 15 minutes. Box is mor elethal on new players, but I have a hunch you know what's what. ;)

The best way to get the client downloaded initial and check all is good is to clicks Games and spectate a match. It should take a few minutes the first time it loads/caches, then the subsequent times it will be fast (until a newer build is released).

Hope that gets you going!

You should also get on chat, especially to find Ranked games. Chat connection details are here:

Yes, Mac should be fine. JP made an A team, and that division is not migrated to CRP yet.

JP, make a R or B team. I asked the admins to move your team, but it can't be moved that way, so create another one.
