  1. Installation & Activation

    It is important to install the game correctly before playing. Please follow the instructions below. Installation is a one-time process that only takes a few minutes.

    1. Insert the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga DVD into the DVD drive and wait for a LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga DVD icon to appear on your desktop.

    2. Double-click on the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga DVD icon to open it.

    3. Drag the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga folder onto the Applications folder that appears next to it. It will start to copy across.

    4. Once the copy has finished, double-click on the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga application icon in the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga folder, which is found in the Applications folder on your hard drive. The pre-game Options window will appear showing the Activation Panel.

    5. Enter your Product Key into the six empty boxes. Your Product Key is printed on the back of the manual. Once the Product Key has been entered, the Save button in the right-hand corner of the Panel will activate.

    6. Click the Save button to save your Product Key.

    7. You now have a choice to activate the game online or to play with the DVD in the drive.

      • Playing using the DVD – Once you have completed step 6 above you may play the game by clicking the Play with Disc button. In order for the game to launch, the LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga disc must be present in your Mac's DVD drive.
      • Playing using Online Activation – If you prefer to play without the game DVD in the drive, then you may do so by activating your game online. Click the Activate Online… button in the Activation Panel. A dialog will appear confirming that your Product Key will be sent to Feral's server. Click the Activate Online… button in the dialog. After a few seconds a message will appear confirming that your game has been successfully activated. The Activation Panel will update showing you the number of machines you are allowed to activate the game on and how many machines you have currently activated. You can now play your game without a DVD in the drive or an internet connection.

    You can now move onto the "Getting Started" section below, which will take you through playing the game for the first time.

  3. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga Performance Tips

    The most important factors in determining how smoothly LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga plays are your CPU speed, the amount of built-in RAM, the type of graphics card in your computer, and the in-game settings you select.

However, if you are dissatisfied with the performance of the game on your computer, there are a couple of things you can do that are likely to improve performance:


    In addition to these general Mac actions, there are some specific in-game settings you can select to speed up the game. These are listed below in order of performance improvement (largest improvement first). Move down the list making the recommended changes until you find settings that give you both good performance and acceptable graphics.

    NOTE: All of these settings are found in either LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga's pre-game Options window under the Video tab or within the game under Main MenuVideo Settings/Effects Settings
