Dominions II: Technical/Hardware Issues

[Hadin]

Hello, I played the demo a while ago, worked perfectly but when my friend brought his game over to play a "quick" game (i didn't buy it yet, was planning to though) I can create my god fine, as well as the game, however when i click to play my first turn, the game just boots me back to mac os without any error messages, no matter what I try, it just does that... I tried this with version 2.02, then 2.13, then latest, still the same... It's weird because the demo worked great...

If you use Mac or Linux you have to start the game from a terminal in order to see the error message.

Hmmm, I tried opening it through the terminal by doing open (pathname to dominions) it opened and quit at same time as usual but no error messages that i could see, only another command line showed up waiting for next command... so i tried opening the program that is inside the package and it quit right away with

Games/dominions2.app/Contents/MacOS/dominions2; exit
Något gick fel!
myloadmalloc: can't open ./guiborder2.tga
Något gick fel!
myloadmalloc: can't open ./guiborder2.tga
Abort
logout

You have to be in the proper directory before you start dominions.

$ cd Games
$ dominions2.app/Contents/MacOS/dominions2

should do the trick.
