I'm having the same problem wit the Hitman: Contracts game. Any suggestions?
I think you have to edit the info.plist file in by text editing it. That French site posts how to create the game through Cider and if your experiencing graphic problems, to edit the the file through certain means. And it says for Hitman Contracts "VertexShaders: N". I just don't know how to input this properly into the file because theres no spot specifically for this line already.
NVM. Pretty sure you edit the config file in the Resources folder of the contents package of Hitman. There is a line with VertexShades = Y, I set it to N but still nothing. I also tried fooling around with some other settings but still got nothing. Any help guys?

Savage is now freeware on PC and Linux, but not for mac. i know that someone on the s2 games forums managed to port savage 1. I tried to do this, so i dloaded Cider, but i get a finder error 'Cannot open the application "Cider" because it may be damaged or incomplete'
i dloaded from thepiratebay. anybody know how to fix?

Hitman Help
Lol, for rumours site you're a little out of date! I was porting Cider and downloading Cider stuff during the summer!
Anywho, for those of you struggling with Hitman, this is the solution:
Find Hitman's Preferences (User>Library>Prefs>"Hitman Prefs" or w/e) - in there, open 'config' with TextEdit. My Hitman works, and my settings are:
"AnisotropicTextureFiltering" = "Y"
"VertexShaders" = "Y"
; type of vertex shaders to use (Hardware/Software/Auto)
; hardware will use whatever the opengl drivers make available
; software will use winex software emulation (will be slow!)
; (has not been implemented yet!)
"VertexShaderMode" = "A"
"PixelShaders" = "Y"
; Which version of pixel shaders to attempt to use, if available
"PixelShadersLevel" = "2.0"
"VertexShadersLevel" = "2.0"
That's a direct copy, you can replace it with the appropriate section if you wish. You'll know if it's working as 42 will be sitting in the chair at the menu screen.
I am using the cheapest MacBook Core 2 Duo. If you're interested, the reason Hitman does not work straight away is because it is configured to work with the Pros. The GMA950 is not good for Cider. Some games will have graphics problems that just cannot be fixed by changing the settings.

Lol, for you. A lot of us already knew this. The OP was citing an article on Macworld, and no reason to Lol the users who didn't know chumpy72.
I've tried to port Heroes V - Tribes of the East with Cider, but the game can't use preferences folder.
Profile folder was created (and it is empty), but when I tried to save game, HMMV says that there isn't enough space on the disk...
After game restart there isn't any created profile in the game...
Could Cider gurus help me?

there is no Hitman Preferences folder anywhere in my Preferences folder.
what do i do now?
Randomly checked this thread...
Found mine were called Cider X3. Just to be sure, control-click the .app and choose Show Package Contents --> Contents --> Info.plist. At the very bottom of the plist there will be an entry entitled "PrefsFolderName". This, obviously, is the name of the Hitman prefs folder.
And, kkat69, chumpy72? That's witty wordplay of the highest class there.
