Hey guys
I recently learned about this game, and last night I decided to install the HD updates for freespace2 (i knows thats unecessary for this game) as well as the Diaspora install.
Installed freespace and the current FS_open build, as well as all the high def VPs etc, and it all works fine. Using the wxlauncher that I got with the files, freespace loads up as it should and plays fine.
Installed Diaspora, and I find a problem.
Whenever I hit "Play" in the wxlauncher, the screen flashes white for a moment (obviously its the window trying to launch), but then immediately disappears. This flash is literally a split second, so clearly something is causing a crash immediately.
After a lot of experimentation, as well as reinstalling files, I did manage to get the game to run by changing the resolution to 1024x768. This was the only resolution in which the game would run.
HOWEVER I then attempted to try launching the game, using the freespace2 wxlauncher instead of the one that came packaged with Diaspora. I selected the diaspora folder and activaed the mod, and ran it... and it ran at a different resolution (I cant remember what it was, 1600x900 I think).
Move on a day, and I decided to try and play Diaspora again, with a proper session instead of just the tutorials which is all I did yesterday.
BUT. The problem is back. And this time, the game crashes out on every resolution, and in both wxlaunchers. It no longer even runs at 1024x768.
So yeh, anyone got any ideas? Is the current builds of all software, on the current version of OSX.
EDIT:
Interestingly, if I start the game as either of the Debug versions, it works properly. But it doesnt work under the normal non-debug versions.
