This is the 0.12.4->0.12.5 update log, there are no errors there, could you attach the log when the error happens?

[Dark_star]

last two lines are two attempts start factorio when 12.6
hope helps

[kovarex]

So the 0.12.5 -> 0.12.6 update wend well? From the log, I can see that you updated and then you played for 4 hours right?

The problem is that neither 12.5 or 12.6 factorio after install, will start, each seems to do nothing.
The problem start with 12.5,

(Workaround)
Install & start 12.4, it will ask and load updates 12.5 & 12.6 and after updating I can play normal.
After I exiting the game. Next time clicking on Factorio, it will not start, seems to do nothing, see below system log.
I have use workaround to play, note saves are ok.

When failing to start, I see on the system log the following:

9/10/15 8:08:17.521 AM factorio.app[1711]: void *NSMapGet(NSMapTable *, const void *): map table argument is NULL

again updated using base 12.4, after update, exited factorio, try start again (now at 12.6)
The factorio log shows nothing has happen.
But the system log shows:

I assume than between click start and first factorio 12.6 log entry, something failed. which 12.4 does do, ?? maybe permissions ???
I believe this was a problem before on Mac, try to find in forum , but could not.
Let me know how I can help,
Thanks for the great game

Seems to be fixed by building on OS X 10.11 El Capitan, next release should be fine.
