Mac Installation Failed

OMG this works for standalone AND for steam client too for those who had "unable to connect" message!
In fact, it works if you establish a connection with the standalone patcher's POE server and then launch the steam version.

For whoever managed to get this far but ends up with the "There has been a patch you need to update to." error and can't find the update.dat file in ~/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile/
--------

- Download PoE from the official PoE site

- Follow @natanaelsilvaa#3931 's fix : "Open PoE. Let it crash and click move to trash. Open finder and press Cmd+Shift+G. Paste "~/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile/" in the text box and press enter.)
- "now drag and drop the deleted file that is in the trash
and put it in the path of exile folder"
- !!!! At this point, copy the update.dat file to another folder.

- "open the application from the application menu (launchpad)
it should start installing it now"

- Once the game is installed, running, and you want to login, you should get the "There has been a patch you need to update to." error.

- Move your update.dat file back to ~/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile/
- Rename it to update.zip
- Unzip the file, you'll get a "Path of Exile 2" app (its not poe 2 tho, its just that there was already a "Path of Exile" app)
- Open Path of Exile 2
- It works.
