Bug (Mac): Asset Editor hangs when attempting to edit a building

[Doodleroo]

Note: Since there are already buildings on the workshop this is likely an OS X-only issue.

Steps to reproduce:
- in Asset Editor, select 'Building'
- select 'low-density residential'
- select 'L1 1x1 detached'
- click 'next'

The game now hangs with the spinning beach ball and needs to be force quit. The issue persists, even if waiting ten minutes or more.

Note: This happens with pretty much every building, not just this one.

Computer Info:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X 10.10.2

Edit:
After I learned the location of the log-file (Logs/Unity/Player.log), this is what I get when attempting the above:

Suspicious uv coordinates (92 polygons): L1 1x1 Detached

(Filename: /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineDebug.gen.cpp Line: 56)

Receiving unhandled NULL exception
Obtained 13 stack frames.

Same problems here!

I have precisely the same problem, it is so frustrating for a modder !

Hello everyone.

I have reported this issue and sent it to the developers! Thanks for letting us know about this!

 

[Mrbooms]

It seems that almost everyone which have problems with the GUI or the asset editor own a MacBook

I believe it is a general OSX issue. It is that way on all my macs. (It should be a software issue - when I boot up in boot camp on Win7, the problem goes away).

Mac user checking in. Doesn't work.:angry::angry::ninja:

I am also having the same issue and I have reported this issue in another thread as well.

Having same issue, but on Linux instead. maybe a general unix related issue?

Also doesn't work on my Mac, I can't even load a building in Editor. It works on Windows on bootcamp though. Also, the game runs better on it than on OS X on the same Mac, any plans to improve OS X version? D:

I can confirm that this bug also makes it impossible to plop or view nonstandard buildings (ploppable and growable). Also, some park lots that may use custom assets have missing assets (most often palm trees). I can confirm though that CO is looking into a fix.

Ah thanks! Been looking for this thread... exact same issue here. I will definitely try it on bootcamp now but would love to have a fix for Mac.

 

[Doodleroo]

I am not sure if things are related, but mods do not seem to work in-game either on my Mac.

I tried this one:

And it does not appear anywhere in-game.

This also happens in Linux. Makes it impossible to place some ploppable buildings. I think I'm missing every custom growable building.

Very annoying bug. This and the performance bugs need to be fixed, and I hope they will be soon!

Parks work fine though.

Also, trying to load it I notice that the hard drive indicator light starts, and 2GB of data is written and then quickly erased from disk- repeatedly.

Same problem here. Any timetable on a fix?

+1 can't edit buildings, which is a bit of a PITA.

If it works in Windows though I might boot up into 8.1 on this machine and look at the difference.

Only alternative for me so far is bootcamp.

Same thing is happening to me on a fully blown 27in iMac. I am also getting a weird blurry green screen for the main menu. Text and pictures are there, but are unrecognizable. It almost looks like looking at a really bad rendition of a mincraft menu. This happens to me 9 out of 10 game launches. Once in the game it is fine though.

Try disabling the 'Steam overlay' in Steam preferences, this seems to get the menu working most of the time.

Same here, seems to be a path or file related issue. As I have said in another thread, I know you guys use Mac's in the office surely this was tested to the extreme on the Mac (or not as it appears)! I am more than willing to be the Mac beta tester if needed...
