Many people are experiencing problems to run the mac version of the AC1.1 alpha.

The reason, according to WahnFred (our xcoder) is very simple: if you do not have X11, you will miss a lib necessary to run the MAC version (I do not remember the name of the lib now).

Please, be patient or try to install this lib by yourself. :P

The needed library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

So it will be fixed later?

Check CrashReporter if AC crashed, it's somewhere in the menu when you open Console.
If you need X11 then there's this message in the crash rapport:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
All you need to do is install X11, it's on the Mac OS X install disc and the problem is solved.

Any detailed (for noobs) explanation for avoiding the 1.0.4 version mixing with 1.1?

Gibstick · 24 Jul 10, 11:04AM

Yes, remove the -home argument from the launcher or something.

ärkefiende · 24 Jul 10, 11:49AM

or change the home argument to another directory

Where is the home argument and how do I change it to another directory?

ärkefiende · 24 Jul 10, 12:10PM

Just change it in the additinal arguments of your launcher. Something like that:
--home="/home/IamWolf/AssaultCube_v1.1"

I have them all pre-installed but it still doesn't work.

ärkefiende · 24 Jul 10, 02:52PM

Silent, what error message do you get? Crash report?

Silent · 24 Jul 10, 03:22PM

I don't get an error. It just freezes on start screen. I even waited for 45 minutes but still no luck.

I can't find CrashReporter in CoreServices folder nor in Console.

"Just change it in the additinal arguments of your launcher. Something like that:
--home="/home/IamWolf/AssaultCube_v1.1"

Where? I right click on the launcher and click something or what?

[Edit] And if not, start the game with the terminal ...

ärkefiende · 24 Jul 10, 09:25PM

there must be a (blank) field: additional arguments or so

#M|A#Wolf · 24 Jul 10, 11:12PM

I don't get that though. The launcher I get is assaultcube above the config folder and there is no terminal involved.

ärkefiende · 24 Jul 10, 11:39PM

Of course there is no terminal. You have to start a terminal session on your own :P

tempest · 25 Jul 10, 12:18AM

In the launcher, there should be an 'advanced options' field or something like that. There you put that --home line.

Will X11 be needed in future to run AC?
Cuz i'm not gonna install that piece of crap!
