Hello. I know that 1.03 version for Mac isn't out yet, is there any word if it will work with Lion? Cause the current version does not work. It shows the first menu where you setup volume and click START GAME, but after that it just hangs and is "not responding". I even left it once for 30 minutes to see if it would eventually kick in... nothing. Thanx!
We have some reports of it not working with fullscreen. Try running it without windowed mode. We're trying to figure out what's going on.
@Nicholas - have you checked to see if it has anything to do with the changes to discrete graphics switching in Lion?
Well, we know what it is now. Hoo boy. Apple basically decided to break (for whatever reason?) all fullscreen access to the framebuffer. Apparently, this is deliberate, and is not being fixed. We'll work around it. In the mean time, you'll get good results by running the game with -opengl.
I've been running it fine on Lion. Just don't use Fullscreen and it'll work like a charm. Apple changed a few things in order to support their own version of fullscreen for apps, so some broke .
Oh, this game is SDL-based. Yeah, I don't know what you can do about that without using OpenGL actually.
Btw, if you add the -opengl launch option in the app properties in steam, you can run it in Fullscreen again. If you really like fullscreen.
To Nicholas: As an SDL-using game programmer myself, I recommend upgrading to SDL 1.3 if possible because it supports Lion, although there's an SDL 1.2 fix-up patch for Lion in the works on the SDL mailing list... SDL 1.3 should also fix the Steam Community Overlay (because 1.3 uses OpenGL by default for 2D drawing rather than DirectDraw or software blitting).
