MV crashes on startup (Steam/Mac)

[McSundae]

@McSundae There had been two times (for example when the koeran version was added if I remember correctly) when there was a bug in the Mac version due to an update, but in both cases it was fixed within days - you could have gone back to the newest version long ago.

Thanks for this information  Thought i was forced to stay on this version - which would actually not even be a problem for me

Had the same problem some weeks ago but i was able to fix it by switching down to version 1.3.0 instead of 1.3.3 (you can select it like you would select a beta on steam)

McSundae can you please tell me how to do this? Having this issue as well on 10.9. For reasons of compatibility with other programs, I can't upgrade my iMac.

@JRibbons Simply right-Click the program in the steam list, then chose properties to get to the MV steam properties where you can change that on the beta tab.


However, be adviced that this is might not be a solution for your problem as some weeks ago that was a real program bug introduced by adding more languages and fixed within days of it appearing.

Thank you Andar! ...but what would the beta access code be and where could I find that? Sorry if this is a noob question. I googled it, but could only find results for other games on Steam...

 

[Andar]

you don't need a beta access code for those options, they are automatically available in the beta listing

Thanks Andar. However, 1.3.0 still crashes. My Apple log says the same thing as the newer version: 


Application Specific Information:
terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
abort() called
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[QNSView hooked_setWantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fad5945a1b0'


Which is the same as the user on this thread: 




And a few other users on Steam. I'll keep trying different 'beta' versions but looks like we may have to bite the bullet and upgrade our OS.
