+Mac: The default mouse acceleration on Mac is very high and strange.  The Nexuiz defaults work fine with it but some mouse drivers seem to 'correct' the mouse acceleration and conflict with the Nexuiz defaults. Try |apple_mouse_noaccel 0; vid_restart| in the console ([How do I open the console?])

 Check if your desktop color depth is set to 32 bits per pixel. If it's just set to 16, Nexuiz can't switch to 32 bit mode.

 This is probably because you don't have the map that's running on the server. As Nexuiz does now supports map/content download the server might not be be setup to support this and you will have to get the map the old fashioned way. Those servers will have a download URL in their name or welcome message. There is also a [wiki page (http://alientrap.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.CustomMaps)] dedicated to new maps.
 For Linux users: you need to have libcurl installed, otherwise you won't be able to download any maps. libcurl should be available in any Linux distribution, just search for "libcurl" and install it in your distribution's package manager.
