VideocardFs2open error loading freespace 2 on mac
I get this error upon trying to load FS2 on my mac machine...

Code: [Select]
Error: Can't understand 'VideocardFs2open' config entry!

File: /Users/cliffgordon/fs2_final_export/projects/Xcode/../../code/graphics/2d.cpp
Line 500

btw, I have no idea who cliff gordon is. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong. I have been desperately looking for a good space combat sim for my mac and this seems like my best chance. I bought FS2 from GOG and installed FS2 open on my bootcamp partition. It starts fine on bootcamp. I copied over the folder to my mac as recommended here...http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=60842.0. No luck. Please help. Thanks.

Do you have the FSO Launcher for Macs installed?

Please see this thread for details: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=51391.0

I got it!  I ended up using the other launcher (FS2_Open_Launcher_3.1.3) to get it loaded. I had to turn off the custom resolution at the bottom. I haven't tested the gameplay, but so far so good.

EDIT: On Lion OS X btw

I think your suggestion is right. But in case you didn't know the link at the top of the page doesn't get me there. Thanks for the help.
