Apologies for the longer-than-expected downtime with yesterday’s release. We encountered a few hiccups along the way. Twinity is now back online and should be running normally.

Also, with the latest release, we’ve incorporated support for Ogg video. As a result of this, you’ll get a new license agreement that will explain the terms of Ogg. As you can read, Ogg is open-source and there are no fees associated with its inclusion in Twinity, or your use of Twinity.

Please contact support if you have any issues after the update.

Dear Twinizens, and prospective Twinizens,

We have received feedback from several members interested in a Mac OS version of Twinity, or knowing what support for Mac is available. Unfortunately, at the moment, Twinity is not supported on the Mac platform.

On the bright side, Twinity has been tested under Boot Camp on MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and has worked without any particular issues. This configuration is not officially supported, but should work. Twinity has not been tested under Parallels, as DirectX support in Parallels is still experimental.

We are keeping a list of people interested in a Mac version of Twinity, and we are looking into ways to bring Twinity to the Mac and provide official support for Twinity on the Mac. We will notify those interested if we find a solution.

Thanks,

The Twinity support team

We had a few reports over the weekend that after our last round of invitations, people who downloaded the latest Twinity client got errors about SpeedTree when they first launched Twinity. We have reproduced this and fixed the problem. You can either click No, and go through the automatic updates, or simply download the latest client from www.twinity.com.

We have an open job to help support our partners in 3D modeling and scripting. Please contact me if you’re interested!

Dear Twinizens,

Related to the updated naming system, we have a few things to tell you about how to log in to Twinity now:

1. You need you use your email address instead of your username. You’ll see that in the login form both on www.twinity.com and in the Twinity client.
2. You need to log in once on www.twinity.com and set your privacy settings. As soon as you log in on www.twinity.com, you will be automatically taken to a form to set privacy for your name display, your birth date display and your online status display.

Additionally, I have sent release notes to the Twinity-beta mailing list with information about what is included in this update.

Thanks!

Dear Twinizens,

If you receive an error message like “Cannot authorize SpeedTree. Enter debugger? Cancel will exit the program.”, please click No, and Twinity will start. This problem will be resolved with our Twinity update tomorrow.

Dear Twinizens,

We received some reports from Twinity members over the last few days of problems with patches and updates downloading.  You may see one of the following errors when starting Twinity:

• Error downloading the patch! Try later or report a problem to support
• The defs and/or entities.xml on the client and server are not identical
• The file d3dx9_33.dll is missing

If you do, the easiest solution is to download the latest Twinity client from www.twinity.com. The first two issues have been resolved on the server-side, and the third error message should no longer occur with the latest client installed.
