Finally got the client working. I disconnected my ethernet and turned on the wifi on my macbook and then the client instantly began updating. That is very strange (wireless works, but wired does not).

I have since ran in to another problem. Now it may be my hardware that's the problem, but I am having insane fps issues at all quality options in-game. For example, if vsync is turned off and all quality settings are set to low, I have a max of 15-30 fps. But, if everything is set to the max, I only get a max of 15-20 fps. Regardless of settings, I am stable at 20 fps.

To give the benefit of the doubt, I am running on a 2009 macbook pro. It has a Core 2 Duo, 4GB of DDR3, and a Nvidia HD Graphics card (not the GT or GTX series, just standard). To play leave over the past 2 years, I've dual-booted Windows 7 and was stable at 60-80 fps until the Rengar patch where is was cut in half to a stable 30-40 fps. Could my hardware be the culprit here? I assumed running it native on mac would forgive some of the old hardware issues

Got everything downloaded and patched, the only problem is it is not recognizing my login. Is there some other step I need to go through?

Well.... I've been playing on the windows side of my mac for a while with the awful frame rate lag for about the first 5 mins of the game and the constant bug splats. But When I heard of this I was super excited because my mac runs more smoothly. But it only supports 10.6.8+. Not 10.5.8. Well i guess i'll just have to stick with what I have. Thanks anyway!!!

To all those who get a rainbow cursor after starting the client, just give it some time (about 3-5 minutes). The launcher starts up eventually, don't force quit the app.

EDIT: and you need a PBE account to play. PBE signup is currently closed
