Post Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2007 7:51 pm — Post subject: Can't download Myst

I have an Intel Mac, and I can't download the game. I go to gametap (only have a trial account there) and sign in. I get some sort of ad or something telling me about all of the different ways i can pay them. I skip that go to their main page and click on myst. 2 buttons come up, one is a link 2 this website and the other is the "play now" button. If i click on the play button, it asks me to sign in again, i sign in. then it brings me 2 a page that says game tap isn't available for macs blah blah blah and a link to this website again. Then the cycle starts all over again... am i missing something here?

Try this Gametap FAQ page regarding Uru Live and Macs, maybe it will help you?

Did you start at http://mystonline.com/ ?

You should be able to get the client from there. Select "free trial" and "I already have an account", then log in.

No, of course not. Login and you can download the client again.

Have you got a link to the pc-version installer too?

I have a trail account and when I log in to gametap it takes me directly to the credit-card payment page with no downloadable client in sight.

If you're an international player, you should use this link to register either a free visitor account or log in with an existing GameTap account to download the installer: http://www.gametap.com/home/myst/signup_tryitbuyit_international.html

I am an international player, and I already have registered a free account, and downloaded the client for my MacBook. But since it doesnt work that well I also want to download it for my PC.

When I use that link and log in to gametap, it takes me directly to their credit-card-payment page and I can not see a link anywhere to just download the client.
