Same issue. Game goes to inescapable black screen and I have to hard reset my iBook. I did notice initially this morning that the intro screen would load, but when I pressed play, everything was fine except where the dwarves were, which were blurred brown, then crashed after 1 second. Since, in trying to re-open, it just goes to black screen. I have identical comp to initial poster.

I am having the same problem on my iMac. I just bought the game this morning. It worked great for a couple hours, then crashed in the middle of playing. Now when I try to run it I get the black screen. We tried the following (none of which helped): renaming the content folder, restarting steam, restarting computer, deleting game from steam and redownloading it.

Guessing it will be unplayable on mac's until they zero in on the issue and update, I've tried all the same. It simply will not launch any longer.

I think I've hit this too.
Played several hours today on macbook pro / retina (15 inch, late 2013 model, running 10.9.4). Crashed a few times, but was able to start it up again and continue each time. Last crash was about an hour ago. Since then, when trying to start the game I get a black screen, with a pointer visible but nothing happening. Command-Option-Escape does kill it. Tried ssh'ing to the machine to see what was happening. CraftTheWorld process is sitting using 10% CPU, memory usage unchanging. Some times when trying to re-launch it it appears to cause Steam to quit as well (has happened twice out of the 8-10 times I've tried launching it).
Have tried: reboot, deleting save game, deleting the app and reinstalling (Steam "delete local content").

To think of it, I'm not sure how many hours I got in before it crashed. I know I did see the "angry" birds flying in the background, so I know it updated, just a question of when. I do know I was playing at 2x speed, and had just added stained glass windows on my main level that I had recntly converted from dirt to stone wall, when it crashed.

I ran into this same problem. After about 2 hours of game play it crashed and refused to start.

With some investigation I found the following file:

/Users/<HOMEDIR>/Library/Saved Application State/com.dekovir.CraftWorld.savedState/data.data

Removing this file got my game working again, my last save even seems to be intact. I assume the crash is corrupting the file somehow.

Seems to work for me just fine. But some people had problems with the "com.dekovir.CraftWorld.savedState/data.data" immediately after the last update as well, so deleting it and letting it recreate is probably good advice if the game will not start.

[revs_id]

An Sar found the issue. /Users/<HOMEDIR>/Library/Saved Application State/com.dekovir.CraftWorld.savedState/data.data must be deleted for the game to work.

However, I also had to delete my custom game that I was in the middle of. Even after file deletion, the game would crash when I tried to load it, with same blurred brown spots where dwarves should've been for a second. I started a new custom and have exited and reloaded a few times and it seems to be working ok so far.

Where did you find that file???

[na_na_tina]

I have searched a long time. Its my first game i play on mac and so im not very experienced in finding datafiles -.- please help me i want to CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT ;)

na_na_tina, open your HD, then click your name in list on left, then library, then saved application state folder. in there you'll see a long list of items that say com.xxxxx whatever. Look for the one that says "com.dekovir.CraftWorld.savedState. Open it and you'll see three files. The one that says "data.data" is the one you'll throw away. Relaunch Steam, your game, and see if that fixes it. If it does not, then do the same (since game will create a new data.data file - toss it too), delete your saved game, and start a new one.

At least that's what all it took to get mine working again. Best of luck.
