Factorio for Mac won't launch- fresh install

[andrea1095]

Just downloaded Factorio from Steam on my Macbook and it won't launch. Couldn't find any other Mac users posting to the forum about this.

The game loads, and when it reaches 98 or 100, an error message comes up:

Unexpected error occurred. If you're running the latest version of the game you can hall us solve the problem by posting the contents of the log file on the Factorio forums.
Please also include the save files, any mods you may be using, and any steps you know of to reproduce the crash...

I haven't played the game (just the demo last night), it's a fresh install.

Here is the log:

I've also attached a photo of the other files that are inside the folder with the log.

My computer specs:
MacBook Pro
15-inch, Mid 2010
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F1911)

It's a pretty old computer, but figured it should be able to handle a game like this? Also- looking for solutions other than update my OSX, that's another can of worms.

Thanks!!!!

Factorio is currently broken on update 0.15.38 and higher (including 0.16) for Mac OS X 10.9.

You can use the Betas feature of Steam to revert back to 0.15.37, which will work on OS X 10.9. Right-click on Factorio in the Library, go to Properties --> Betas and select 0.15.37 from the dropdown.

Thank you for the quick response!! Looks like that worked.
