Freespace 2 not behaving on new computer.

Post by rhoenix »

Platform: Apple Mac (Intel)
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.5
Issue: Now that I'm trying Freespace 2 Open on my new computer, it instantly crashes after a pilot is selected.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
- Ran FS2_Open_Debug, which showed nothing useful in the crash log (can be posted upon request when I get home from work tonight)
- Installed OpenAL from Creative's website (for Mac OS X). No sound yet, and crash still occurs.
- (new) pilot name deleted, new one created - same result.

This game ran rather nicely on my old Powerbook G4 - the same setup appears to be misconfigured, or missing something critical, but I can't figure out what. Any and all advice is appreciated.

Please tell me you're also asking on HLP, you're far more likely to get an answer there. I think there's maybe three of us on SDN that have played that game in, like, the past year.

Ah, gotcha. Alright, I'll make an account there and ask. Thanks!

EDIT: I also see the 3.6.10 MediaVPS were just released - I'll install those tonight when I get home, and see if there are any further issues.
