Factorio Forums

Maybe this was posted before but the new experimental releases (0.12.5 and 0.12.6 and possibly 0.12.4) will not start the game on OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). The game immediately crashes after being launched. No crash report is shown and 'Activity Monitor' doesn't even register the game.
Is there any chance of getting the problem fixed later on a release?

Thanks.

EDIT (Sep 17):

The problem still remains in the 0.12.8 release.

I can confirm this.

factorio 0.12.4 was the last version which launched on my OS X when its icon was double-clicked.

I see this error in the syslog immediately after double-clicking:
Sep 19 15:12:44 Mac com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[212] ([0x0-0x77077].com.factorio[1921]): Exited with code: 1

There is no splash screen.
There is no factorio-current.log created.
Factorio crashes within like a tenth of a second.

It runs perfectly from the command line with:
/Applications/factorio-0.12.8.app/Contents/MacOS/factorio

My system is a fairly standard OS X 10.8.5.

KeepOnBuilding!

I figured out a workaround (show package contents->contents->MacOS-> factorio open with terminal) on OSX 10.6.8
This worked for me on 0.12.7. However, using this trick in the last update 0.12.8 results in a completely messed up startup screen (with trains all over the place and a visually challenged menu).

I've been experiencing an issue with the application freezing on OS X Yosemite at launch in which the mouse will just turn into the pinwheel icon indefinitely. The only way out is to force quit factorio. It happens many times during or after the loading screen but before opening a map. Occasionally it does not occur. The occurrence of this bug seems to have increased in 0.12, but I had issues in 0.11 as well.
