I would like to try out Unvanquished, but a millisecond after I launch Unvanquished.app, it crashes, without an error message.
System:
How did you download it (website or torrent?). Assuming you downloaded Unvanquished to "Downloads" try the following
Open Terminal (type Terminal into spotlight).
Type the following code in
open ~/Downloads/unvanquished/Unvanquished.app/
copy and paste whatever message comes up.
Downloaded from the official website via HTTP.
Code: Select all
$ open /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app.
$ open /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app/
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app.Unfortunately that error message indicates "An unknown error". Generally this is caused by bad permissions. Try the following commands
Code: Select all
chmod +x /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app/Contents/MacOS/daemon
chmod +x /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app/Contents/MacOS/daemonded
chmod +x /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app/Contents/MacOS/daemon-tty
chmod +x /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app/Contents/MacOS/unvanquished.sh
If that doesn't work then try the open command again and paste the output.
open /Applications/unvanquished_0.26.0_universal/Unvanquished.app
If it does work can you tell me what browser you used to download the file (eg Chrome, Safari) and how you unzipped the file (did it unzip automatically, did you use a third party program). That information would be helpful in correcting this bug.
Could this be related to the problems I'm having with the new maps?
Unlikely, if it was a similar problem you wouldn't even be able to start Unvanquished.
