Other Windows Issues
Getting Stuck In the Endgame. (Some spoilers.)
When you are working for the rebels, at the very end of the game, in the Inner Shaping Hall, you must fend off a Shaper attack. If you destroy the invading Shapers and then immediately destroy all of the rebel drakons without speaking with them, you won't be able to use the control pedestal to complete the game. This is a rare and peculiar course of action but, if you are committed to it, speak with the drakons and report your victory before you kill them.
Cutscene Problem In Quessa-Uss
There have been reports of creations getting stuck in the gates during cutscenes in Quessa-Uss (the city of the drakons late in the game). This can happen when your party is very large. If you have this problem, absorb your eighth creation (or the creation that gets stuck in the gate).
Shaftoe Kill Rogues Quest
We received a report of someone not getting proper credit for completing Shaftoe's quest to kill the rogue creations upstairs (Krazo and Mystithus). If this happens to you, download this script and copy it into the Scripts folder. On the Macintosh, this is inside the folder Geneforge 4 Files. On Windows, this is inside the folder Data. (This is in the main Geneforge 4 folder. To find this easily, search your hard drive for Geneforge 4.) If you have trouble downloading the script, right-click on the link (Windows) or command-click it (Mac).
Items That Add Strength To Creations
In Geneforge 4: Rebellion for Windows (v1.0), items that are supposed to add strength to creations don't actually do this. This will be fixed in future versions. In the meantime, avoid relying on these items.

Geneforge 4: Rebellion Windows Version History
Nothing yet.
Geneforge 4: Rebellion Support for Macintosh
Geneforge 4: Rebellion has been upgraded to v1.0.4. Some objects were being drawn surrounded by white rectangles. This has been fixed. Download the full v1.0.4 game from the Geneforge 4: Rebellion homepage.
Other Macintosh Issues
Incompatibility With Quicken Scheduler
Users of Quicken Scheduler for the Macintosh have had problems with this game not recognizing the keyboard on some Macintoshes running OS X. Alas, Quicken Scheduler takes full control of the keyboard it is running and doesn't return control when a new program (like Geneforge 4) tries to run. This program causes problems with the keyboard in a number of applications. Alas, our games number among them.
As the bug is in a different program's software, there is little we can do to remedy the problem. If you rely on the keyboard when playing, we recommend disabling Quicken Scheduler during your play sessions.
Graphics Problems In Leopard (Mac OS 10.5)
The graphics in Geneforge 4: Rebellion will not look right when you play the game in the Leopard operating system. These problems can be fixed by download and installing v1.0.3 or later.

Items That Add Strength To Creations
In Geneforge 4: Rebellion for Mac (v1.0.2 and earlier), items that are supposed to add strength to creations don't actually do this. This will be fixed in future versions. In the meantime, avoid relying on these items.
Illegible Fonts Problem
When using Geneforge 4 v1.0 or v1.0.1 on a Macintosh with two monitors, it is possible for the text of the larger fonts to be jumbles and illegible. This will be fixed in the next update. Until then, a workaround is to set the monitors not being used to play the game to Thousands of Colors (as opposed to Millions of Colors).
"Unable to open sound channels" Error
If you get the error "Unable to open sound channels" when you launch the game, carry out these steps to fix the problem:
i. Open the Applications folder.
ii. Open the Utilities folder.
iii. In this folder, run "Audio MIDI Setup"
iv. Under Audio Output, change the Format to 44100.0 Hz.
This should correct the problem.
