having an issue where orb turns blue and play button lights up but clicking it does nothing. all dependent mods install, non-fullscreen, no additional mods enabled, on a mac, the second tab of sts is just a black screen

I haven't tested the mod on a mac nor do i have a mac to test it on. To confirm you mean that the start button is either not enabled or inoperable? The second screen is supposed to be black.

If you want to really dive in you can hit me up on my discord server and we can walk through debug steps

V1.2.0 Should now work on mac, thanks again

The mod loader freezes when attempting to load the Battle AI mod. It doesn't give an error message when doing so, but upon attempting to load the game with only Battle AI's prerequisites I receive the following error message which seems to indicate it's actually a problem with Ludicrous Speed:
