Where do maps downloaded "in game" go on Mac?

Post by rcadan88 »

Hi all, Help needed: I am running Mac OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite, and all of the playtest applications keep crashing as soon as I try open the game. Also, in the normal release, as soon as I open the game, it automatically starts a game and goes into a map (which was downloaded in game, not through resource.openra.net) and repeats this every time I close a mission. This sometimes takes 5 minutes or more just to start a game. I have deleted all maps from the usual location, (OpenRA>Show Package Contents>Contents>Resources>mods>ra>maps) although this error still seems to occur, which to me seems like all the maps that are downloaded "IN GAME" (when you join a server with a map you hadn't downloaded yet) are located in a different location. Where is the location of the maps downloaded "IN GAME"? This also may be the reason why my Playtest application doesn't work. Please help me fix this problem.

There is a warning about the maps with the playtest, you need to keep them separate.. Once you install playtest it will update the maps in the location above. To avoid them getting updated, copy the folder and place somewhere else when you want to run playtest. When you want to go back to the release, replace the folder with the original copy.

I'm also a Yosemite user but there is nothing in that library folder. in fact my username folder does not contain library at all!

I've checked Library > App support, nothing there too...

The library folder is hidden. You can open the OpenRA support dir by pressing cmd+shift+g in a finder window and pasting the following:

Code: Select all

~/Library/Application Support/OpenRA/
