[Mac10.11] Starting a game causes crash



Mac


Steam

What is your game version?
231,139

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I can launch the application in Steam successfully, but once I click on "New Game" or click on the first Tutorial, the game crashes. I just bought this, and had half an hour to play... sigh. I have iMac with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB Graphics, and am running MacOS 10.11.6 (which is your recommended OS minimum on Steam). No mods.

Can you replicate the issue?
It's happening every time, yes. I just can't launch a game. It's quite frustrating...

We have seen this on MacOS 10.11, unfortunately. The crash is in the nVidia driver in that OS, as you can see in that log:

com.apple.GeForceGLDriver

You can update the OS, which is probably preferable unless you have a reason not to.

Or update the nVidia driver:

If you do the latter, you'll need to update that driver accordingly.

All the best!

I updated to MacOS 10.12.6... Surviving Mars still doesn't work (see attached crash). So, despite the System Requirements listing MacOS 10.11 and up, even MacOS 10.12 doesn't work...

Perhaps someone should update the System Requirements, so others don't run into the same problems I have.

I installed the most recent driver (16G1408) on this page: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...for-macos-sierra-10-12-6-378-05-05-25.227494/

...and now I can successfully launch a game, while running MacOS 10.12.6. Sheesh...
