[Solved] CW3 Demo for OSX does not start

[faragaudenzi]

I just downloaded the demo version of OSX and trying to launch it brings a window with the "Knuckle Cracker" logo, and it stays there forever. Can anyone help?  ???

I am running OS X 10.8.5.

Thanks!

Immediately after trying to start the demo, look here:
~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

Take a loot at that log file and see if it contains anything suspicious (or post it here).
(More info on the location of the log file can be read here.  You are interested in the Desktop Player for OSX.  http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/LogFiles.html )

Thanks for the reply, virgilw!

the end of the log file is gives the following error:

UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/Users/[mycomputer]/.config/CreeperWorld3/" is denied.

(Filename:  Line: -1)

Any idea of what it could be the cause?

Looks like it doesn't have access to a place it wants to read files from. I don't know how to solve that on a mac but others might do. Try to find something like run as administrator (that's how it works on windows).

Hi J

I am running as adm. I changed the permissions to read and write, and tried to open through the terminal with "sudo", but got the same result. :'(

Thanks for the try, anyway!

Hmm...I'm assuming [mycomputer] is your username? If so, you should have access to your own work. Did permissions get messed up?

[faragaudenzi]

Hi wolfman2000

yap, [mycomputer] is my username. I am not very computer savy, and i tried to use the "repair permission" tool from the OS, but nothing changed.  :-\

[knucracker]

I'd bring up a shell using the same user you are trying to run the game as.  Then try to write a file to that directory location.  Something has to be messed up permissions wise and that might help narrow it down.  The "System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory" is just a mono system call to create a directory.  If it throws a permissions problem, that's because it was denied directory creation access by the OS.

Hey ppl

I went to the directory using the terminal, and tried "mkdir CreeperWorld3" (the folder in the .config), what gave me an error of permission.

Then I tried "sudo mkdir CreeperWorld3", and the directory was created.

Now i try to run the demo and is goes pass the logo screen, to the EULA window. After clicking in " Agree", it keeps bringing me to the same EULA window.

The Player.log msg is now (don't know if this will help, but in any case...)

thanks for the help!

[faragaudenzi]

Ok, changed the permission of the folder with chmod so everyone can read, write and execute the "Creeperworld3" folder, now it loads!

Thanks all for the tips!
