thither Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Well, good news and bad news. I copied *.int from app/XComGame/Localization/INT in the installer to XCOM Enemy Unknown.app/Contents/Resources/MacOverrides/XEW in the installed game, and the game options now appear correct (I see "not so long war" in the second wave options, and there's no beginner difficulty any more). Also, starting a new game I notice that there are just four operatives in the dropship and they are in white armor, which seems to comport with how I remember the mod starting on Windows. The bad news: when I hit "Launch Mission" for the first mission, the game just hangs with a black screen. It's not completely frozen, the mouse moves and I can just regular-quit it from the taskbar instead of needing to force quit, but no actual mission seems to appear. I've also noticed that the game pretty reliably crashes at startup on every other launch now. Like, I start it, quit to desktop from the main menu, start it again, and it crashes. If I restart after the crash I get the "report error" dialog box, cancel, and the game starts normally. I'm going to try validating the files and starting over from scratch to see if I can improve the stability that way.

Nope, should be six in red. Work on putting your ini files in the right place next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thither Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 guys, I Been trying all day but am stuck withrm CookedPCConsole/XCom{,Strategy}Game.upk.uncompressed_size For this step you've got to delete these two files from your installation directory (under SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/XCOMData/XEW/XComGame/CookedPCConsole): XComGame.upk.uncompressed_sizeXComStrategyGame.upk.uncompressed_size They're supposed to be a file protection mechanism to stop you from fiddling with the files, but if they aren't present the game just ignores the check.

wghost81 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Not protection, just indication that file is fully compressed. Plus size info for decompression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderkent Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Thither: I don't get that issue. Maybe check that steam didn't overwrite the ini files? diff ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/XCOMData/XEW/XComGame/Config/DefaultGame.ini ~/Downloads/app/XComGame/Config/DefaultGame.ini diff --git 1/Users/jlach/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/XCOMData/XEW/XComGame/Config/DefaultGame.ini 2/Users/jlach/Downloads/app/XComGame/Config/DefaultGame.ini old mode 100755 new mode 100644 Adjust paths as necessary, obviously. If the files differ, try disabling automatic update in steam and re-doing the LW install. Edited August 1, 2014 by Anderkent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: I switch to screen mode, it worked for a moment and then the game crash Yeah, this is the same thing I was seeing. No idea what might be causing it. Hey, can anyone tell me where to find the game logs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderkent Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The logs will be in something like ~/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/XCOM/XEW/Logs. Can't remember the exact path right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
