Hi everybody,
I know 0.7.2 is just an alpha version of Factorio, but I'd like to inform you that this version doesn't even start on OSX Snow Leopard.

I'm confident on a fast resolution of the issue, meanwhile I'll enjoy the 0.7.1

Does it say anything (any crash report / etc.) ?

Yes, the crash report (is huge) is this:

Could you try to set low graphics on?
You can manually edit in ~/Library/Application/Support/factorio/config/config.ini, just change the line

Code: Select all

low-graphics=false

to

Code: Select all

low-graphics=true

Perhaps not relevant to this bug.

On my macBook Pro Factorio runs now.

And the low resultion mode worked well, but I cannot say, if it had automatically switched, because I had the other problems, see down.
I had no time to make more tests this evening, but promise to.

One problem keeps (the reason for writing), that it is difficult to tell the system not to go into internal graphics (or use discrete, depending on standpoint

). I use http://gfx.io/ to set it to discrete GPU - and need to use that several times. This is also true, when the system is fresh restarted and all tools, which might influence it are stopped before.

This is nothing, which keeps someone from playing, but I think my problem and this bug has eventually the same source.

I changed everything, but it doesn't even start; maybe because my version of mac is Snow Leopard?

I think is my computer problem, because even into Virtual machine (windows 7) the 0.7.2 doesn't start.

I am developing the game on Snow Leopard, so the version of the OSX should not be an issue. Do you get the same error even after changing to graphics lower resolution mode?

I have searched for "low_graphic" but I haven't found it. Perhaps is "low_fps"?
However, even with "low_fps=true" the game doesn't start.

This is my "config.ini":

Oh, sorry, it is probably not there (the default is false), but you can add it.
You need to add it to the [graphics] section.

And it is not low_graphics, but low-graphics (not underscore, but dash)

the line is:

Code: Select all

low-graphics=true

There is some other os x user who had very similar problem and he said it worked for him, the problem is that you have the 256Mb video card, and it is not enough to hold all the graphcis currently, so the low graphics makes some larger sprites smaller.

On windows, the error is handled better when there is not enough video memory, and this option is turned on automatically, I have no idea why it doesn't work that way on mac, in other words I'm sorry for the trouble.

Thank you so much! Now it works perfectly!!!
