[0.12.0] [Mac OS Lion] Crash before loading screen

Post by infinitehubgear »

Mac version: 10.7.5

I got a popup window before the loading screen (which never came up)
Image
This happened when i updated via the 0.11.20 updater and when i downloaded the .dmg separately.
Restarting my machine doesn't solve it.

No factorio log file is produced, but I did get this from the system logs.

Code: Select all

17/07/2015 23:34:01.368 [0x0-0x11e11e].com.factorio:    0.000  Error Paths.cpp:126: Failed to encode executable path as UTF-8.
17/07/2015 23:34:01.368 [0x0-0x11e11e].com.factorio:    0.000  Error Util.cpp:45: Unexpected error occurred. You can help us to solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums.

Hi, I'm having the same issue on the same configuration, MacOS 10.7.5

The popup is the only warning i'm getting, there's no factorio log, haven't checked the system log but i suppose it's gonna be the same.

Tried both downloading the .dmg and autoupdater, tried putting a config.ini in the factorio folder with low graphic settings, no change.

0.11.22 runs quite fine tho :D

Let me know if there's anything I can try to help you guys!

It might be interesting to see what you two got in the system logs.

You can open the Console from Applications->Utility->Console and make sure you select "All Messages" on the top left hand side. Then run Factorio 0.12.0 and that's what popped up in my System Log.

Yup, there it is:

Code: Select all

19/07/15 19:02:37,140 [0x0-0x6a06a].com.factorio:    0.000  Error Paths.cpp:126: Failed to encode executable path as UTF-8.

OS X 10.8.5:
If I just double-click the factorio icon, system.log shows:

Code: Select all

Jul 20 15:21:12 Mac com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[310] ([0x0-0x308308].com.factorio[7505]): Exited with code: 1
Or I can:

Code: Select all

$ cd /Applications/factorio.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./factorio 
   0.000  Error Paths.cpp:126: Failed to encode executable path as UTF-8.
   0.000  Error Util.cpp:45: Unexpected error occurred. You can help us to solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums.
and nothing shows in system.log

So same problem, slightly different presentation.

There is no factorio prefs folder created in either case, the app totally fails to launch.

KoB!

So… are there any Mac users who CAN run 0.12.0?

I am really keen to try out the new version… so if there's something wrong with my system, I'll fix it!

But if this build is broken… I'll just have to wait.

Thanks, and
KeepOnBuilding!

This was an attempt to fix problems with japanese Mac, it seems that I will have to revert it then. Could you send me your system usernames and languages?

System language is English.

System username is simple lowercase alpha characters.

Damn, I expected something wild... I will revert the change for the next patch, sorry for the inconvenience.

The only thing I can see which could cause any problem is that my hard drive is called "Macintosh HD" with a space in it.

I would be happy to test an experimental alpha build :)

Same, English and 4 lower case letters for user name. Maybe I should try changing it to Kanji to make it work ;)

I tried changing my system language to Japanese and it didn't help.

p.s. it's much easier setting your language to Japanese than it is to change it back!

Maybe you would also have to change your user name or the path file to make it work. I think I'll wait for the next patch!

English system language, system username is 6 alpha characters, one uppercase and the rest lowercase... nothing wild neither here ;)

EDIT: I'll cross-reference a couple of other thread i've seen popping up about MacOS and this UTF-8 bug:
https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 11&t=13759 (on a 10.6.8 MacOS)

I have the same problem on my Mac OSX version 10.8.5.
https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 49&t=13659

I guess no 0.12 for me for a while.
I really hope it gets fixed soon, I can't wait to play again.

Lots of bug fixes have been logged.

I'm hoping for a 0.12.1 release tomorrow!

No, it's not fixed but got worth. 0.12.0 worked without any problems on my iMac, OS X 10.10.4 (Yosemite). But now 0.12.1 crashes before loading screen without any trace of logs at all, like infinitehubgear said before. You must have done something that only works on legacy Macs...

Btw my iMac runs with system language set to Japanese so it might affect something.
