To whom it may concern...

Im a fervent Red Alert player with my friends. We live in The Netherlands and the weather is so awful that we play a lot of games. This week my Red Alert didnt open. Ive installed the new update and Ive played it several times. But now it wont open anymore and even after removing it and installing it again the game still doesnt open. Is this a common error that is easy to fix or Im a screwed? I run my game on a Macbook pro, early 2012 with 10.7.5 so my software is up to date. What can I do? My friends are playing without.. Im sad!!

Greetings from Rotterdam, Roger

Please post your exception.log so we can investigate what is causing the problem. Instructions are on the wiki: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/FAQ

We don't have any known issues with OSX, so i'm interested in seeing what the cause of this is.

if I were to advise something, Grigori, please join the OpenRA chatroom :

This way you'll be able to contact the developers and other players.

Im really glad you cant play anymore because you dont deserve it!!! youre a n00b! Keep watching porn or buy a playstation because red alert isnt ment to be for you!!

Just throw your computer out of the window...

Gr33tz.. the one and only Grigori (Open RA World Champion of 2004 & 2007)

World champ that wins a 'World Championship' before the OpenRA project even exists and now for some mysterious reason can't get the game to run.

Don't know about you guys, but the stench of bullshit emanating from this guy's posts is melting my fucking face off.

We don't ship the Cg runtime for Mac OS X because it is so big. Choosing the Cg renderer will therefore break it. Sleipnir removed the button from the Settings GUI again in the latest playtests so Mac people don't fall for it. Change your https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Settings back to the OpenGL renderer:

Code: Select all

Graphics&#58;
	Renderer&#58; Gl

or download the https://developer.nvidia.com/cg-toolkit and install it manually.
