We've also released our 1st Mac OSX Build of Solitaire IV. So if you own a Mac OSX 10.4 or higher (or you know someone who does) we'd love to get it tried out.

I am having trouble the same as Xuzik, she has put in a topic Game Trouble, so I won't copy the picture, but look at the picture she took of the screen, I found when I was playing Spider, the cards split like the picture she took, although when I moved my mouse around, they went back to normal. Is that any help?

Sandbar, go ahead and do a bug report when you see that by right-cliking on the titlebar or you may need to use the keyboard method of "CTRL+F8"

[sandbar]

I sent a report in, but when i moved my mouse, the cards came good again, so don't know if that is any help, what i DID notice however, is it seems to be when I am moving a group of cards across to another card, for example in Spider, I don't seem to have trouble in say, Pyramid for instance, where you are only clicking on a couple of cards and not moving a heap of them.
The best way I can describe it, is some of the cards 'splinter' and 'break up', but so far it seems to be only when I try and move some of them across to the other group of cards. Moving the mouse clears it for me though.
Also, if I pause the game to take a photo, it clears also.

[Jonas]

Since I was able to reproduce it here, I think it will be fine. Hopefully we'll have a fix early next week.

[Xuzika]

Jonas I was trying with Ctrl+F8 but look like bug disappears when pop up come up report send anyway

[Jonas]

Manny is on the bug So don't sweat it.

[Jonas]

Okay Sandbar and Xuzika, that bug should be fixed with the update we did tonight. So do a Check Version, and get the latest build.

[sandbar]

Ignore the bug report i sent in, because i had forgotten to check version first , so I did that, updated, and had no problems with the game, you seem to have squished the bug
Good luck
