To be fair, @jairyanna, this is really Apple's problem. The whole system of distributing software through .dmgs is terrible, user-unfriendly, and confusing. Unfortunately, I think they think they've "solved" this with the App Store.
I'm actually a fan of the "the Icon is the App" metaphor, trash the icon and the App is gone. Unfortunately they blew the whole thing when they forced the devs to put preferences & local data in a hidden folder. The fact that AppClean needs to exist is a testament to the problem. From my point of view user/Library is fast becoming the OSX registry. Abandon hope all ye who enter here...
@FuzzyPuffin Okay found it. Sorry, I was being a little lazy. It says its turned off, so that may be the issue since I am at school. I am about to go on break so I will see how it is when I get home. Thank you again.

Definitely confusing! It was hilarious when I eventually found out I was meant to drag the folder over to Applications and I had completely missed the huge arrow in the middle :P
I've created a Launcher issues thread - please post there if you are having trouble with the OSX stand-alone launcher. We can keep this thread for speculation and anticipation
@Svendryn Your school may be blocking access to the necessary ports or even to games associated domains. If you can't download the game from your house let us know.
Its actually kind of sad that this thread will probably be coming to a close after February 22nd as I met some great Bhaalspawn here! Somewhat wish that other sections of the board were as friendly
Well everybody can stay around and try to guess when the next patch is coming
If I hypothetically (since I'm definitely not dumb enough to do this...) bought the PC version of the game in a bout of foolish, wanton haste when it was released for pre-order, do I need to repurchase the mac version, or is there a way to transfer this over?

Hypothetically speaking, of course...
We would never think otherwise.
Ahem.
Send an email to support@beamdog.com and I'll take a look.
Thanks for the help guys!
...hypothetically.
