OSX 10.10.3, 21.5 inch iMac Late 2012
I'm still on 10.9.5 and while the game doesn't crash, it does exit immediately after launching, without even showing a window:
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: EXC_I386_GPFLT
Guys, I write indie games for a living too. This is unacceptable and makes us all look bad. Please fix.
That was June 21st. It has not been a week; it has been over a month.
The port to your cross-platform game engine went live on June 18th, the bug was reported that same day, and it is now 38 days later and no patch or—far more importantly—communication. No announcements, no comments, no nothing.
What is happening, and how did a port that crashes on startup go live in the first place?
Dear Devs:
What Mac hardware configuration are you using as your OSX testing environment?
Computer model; graphics card model; type and number of processors; amount of RAM; which version of OSX, etc.
What model of computer are you using as a baseline?
Go to the Apple Menu in the upper lefthand corner, select "About This Mac", and click "More Info..." and you'll get all the basic information: make, model, processor, memory, graphics, operating system. (Don't tell anyone the serial number.)
Then, if you want to go all out, click "System Report" and look at "Hardware Overview."
The machine I've been using for testing is a 2009 Mac Pro running Mac OS 10.10.4 Yosemite.
I haven't been able to get this crash to happen locally. I will try some different things to reproduce this issue.
Is that with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 120, or an ATI Radeon HD 4870? And how much RAM? 8-core or Quad-core? The 8-core is Intel Xeon 5500-series, and the Quad-core is 3500 series.
I just downloaded the game again and tried again
Launching the game within Steam results in the icon appearing on the dock and then disappearing immediately. The game never finishes launching; it immediately quits and no error window.
Launching outside of Steam gives a General Protection Fault:
