[0.15.40] Crash on 98% loading [macOSX 10.9]

[Bilters]

When i try to launch Factorio it crashes on 'Loading Sounds 98%'
I tried to install the 0.16 version but that wouldn't launch at all.

I did a complete wipe off factorio (uninstalled the game) (deleted the application support data) (and did a re-install) but that didn't resolve the problem at all.

I know i'm on an older machine but it used to work up to a week ago.

Attached is my latest .log file

Hopefully you anyone is able to help me solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

After a couple of tries there has been no change. (Changing the config file, another complete wipe and re-install) No version works. Tried it now with the latest .16.4 version but still no succes. Can anyone please help me? I'm not able to launch the game at all... All ideas are welcome!

Does it start if you right-click Factorio in the Steam library, select Properties, then click Set launch options... and enter --graphics-quality=low --video-memory-usage=low into the text field?

Please also post the log from 0.16.x.

Thanks i will try as soon as the 89% 'loading sprites' bug is fixed, then i'll be able to launch the game hopefully.

Unfortunally, we broke compatibility with Mac OSX 10.9 in 0.15.40. I think it still is not fixed in 0.16.3 ... but we are working on it.

Thank you for your efforts to allow those of use who are stuck on older OSes to keep playing.

Any news on the 10.9 bug? The game keeps on crashing on loading sprites.

Some time after the holidays is the latest info I saw.

Should be fixed for 0.16.17

I saw in the release notes it should be fixed with the 0.16.18 version but i still get fired an error while loading sprites.

See the attached log.

I moved this to duplicates (54549). The 0.16.17 fix broke macOS version even more, so it was reverted.
