[SOLVED] Mac OS X: Crashes upon joining/starting a game

Postby Ha_Ha_Ur_Dead » Fri Nov 14, 2008 12:13 am

Alright, here's my problem for my mac. Everything's updated on this one, i made sure lol. I have a Mac with OS X on it. Nexuiz starts up fine, and everything works up until you try to join a game (both singleplayer and multiplayer). When you try to join a game, it goes in to the regular loading screen, but then at some point in the loading, the screen goes black, and the error screen pops up saying:

Mac OS X wrote: :!: The application nexuiz-osx-agl-bin quit unexpectedly.

Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.

Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or sent a report to Apple.

(Close) (Report...) (Reopen)


I haven't tried much for this one. Did a google search, and browsed the forums a bit, but couldn't find anything, so idk where to start. Any ideas?

[EDIT:] Actually I did find one thing. Only suggestion offered was to reinstall video card drivers... i'll give it a shot, but the guy who was given the suggestion said it didn't work so i'm not exactly expecting it to lol.

[EDIT2:] Rofl, fixed it already. I'm getting good at this troubleshooting thing. haha, that's two computers in one night xD. It's a setting that's being used. I'm going to use the process of elimination to figure out which one it is... right now, my computer is at the lowest settings possible. Instead of editing this one, i'm going to post what's wrong. It may be useful to make a sticky with the answer, or put it in the FAQ when i do figure it out...

Settings for Mac OS X users to avoid

Postby Ha_Ha_Ur_Dead » Fri Nov 14, 2008 1:26 am

Alright, the big one that crashes the game is:

Settings > Video > Vertex/Vertex and Triangles/Vertex, some Triangles

Leave it set to none, or the game will crash upon starting/joining a game.

Settings vary based upon your computer obviously, but mine gets about 30 FPS (idle, it decreases to about 10-15 when fighting/moving) at Normal settings with OpenGL 2.0 shaders enabled.

I have OpenGL 2.0 shaders disabled, at Low quality setting with Coronas turned off and 16 Color depth, and i get 15-20 FPS at the least, most of the time it stays around 40-60 FPS. I can't play it if it's lower than 40 FPS constantly, it just bothers me... so that's what I would suggest for your lowest settings.

Hope it helps some of the mac users out there =)

Which version of OS X?
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.
