I am running OS X 10.6.8 on 2010 Macbook Pro with 330M Nvidia graphics and i7 chip. I have interesting variation on this bug (set of bugs?):
1. If I run release BP executable I crash immediately upon entering the program. If I run the Debug BP I can run AoA and WiH parts 1 & 2 (with the aforementioned black boxes typically/always trailing ships). Frame rate is great. However, WiH part 3 crashes when I tried to start the campaign.
2. I removed the advanced graphical packages. I can now start the WiH part 3 campaign as well as parts 1 and 2. Frame rate is great.
3. If I try to use the no_glsl flag to get rid of the black boxes, I crash to desktop either immediately or when I try to go into a mission (can't remember) for all 3 campaigns.
4. I got as far as the mission "Everything is permitted" which lets me into the mission most of the time, but sometimes crashes to desktop (I think if I click through the log and briefing screens too fast it has a higher chance of crashing). However, whenever I
attack the shuttle I am supposed to be targeting
, I always crash to desktop.
------------
If any of the debug logs for these bugs would be helpful, I can try to recreate the bugs and post the ensuing debug logs - unless you think this has been covered by the other debug logs.
For the first mission "Nothing is true" I think I found a small, unimportant bug. I failed the mission
by letting the UEF fighters escape
, but got the successful mission debrief. I was correctly not allowed to continue. If I fail the mission
by letting the Vasudans escape
, I get the failed mission debriefing, as I should.
Anyway part 3 looks great from what I've gotten to play! Kudos!
EDIT: Managed to get past the mission by
using the Tev defense turrets to assassinate the target
which doesn't trigger the crash, but the next mission "One Future" crashes about 10 secs after I hit alt-J to begin the mission.
