Crash on loading screen Mac OSX.9.5

Post by zbeeblebrox »

Hey, I'm using Yosemite, and no matter which version of the game I try to run - the latest release or the experimental versions - I consistently crash after loading to 10%.
I tried looking around for a solution, but I can't seem to find anything with an answer. Is there a fix for this by any chance?

That version doesn't work either, I'm afraid.
I tried messing with the configs but that had no effect, since I don't think the game even gets to those before crashing. It hitches on loading mods actually, but if I disable the only mod listed in the mod list, it actually freezes my whole computer, which I haven't had happen since the OSX.4 days. KInd of crazy.

[ninja edit] actually, changing the graphics config to low did work when I tried it on the stable release! So I guess I'll stick with that version. I don't know why the experimental versions refuse to acknowledge the same exact directory information, but I guess that's what it means to be experimental.

Yosemite broke some things in .10, however in the .11 series the issue with loading was resolved. (at least for me)

Sounds like you're getting the same issue as me.

Looks like it. 11.3 crashing for both of us. Can you get the stable release to run? I can, oddly enough, even though chapium says the opposite is happening on his end. Actually, chapium do you know which graphics card is in your Mac? I have the AMD Radeon, but I recall there being another brand available..

Can anyone confirm whether the directory folder for Factorio has changed between .10 and .11? When I delete everything and try .11 it fails to build anything beyond the folder itself and the mods subfolder. But .10 builds the whole folder contents before crashing, which is why I can fix the configs and make that version work. If I knew what the directory for .11 looked like, I could probably just put it together by hand and maybe force it to work that way...assuming the crash issues are even related between .10 and .11

Yep, 0.10.x and 0.9.x works for me. I do have to put the low graphics mode on to make it playable.
