I am on a macOS Sierra iMac Late 2013, and I cannot start the campaign.
It pans to some textures once i click "play" and it makes a wind noise. Any help?
Game freezes when starting basegame campaign mode getting stuck on what I believe is an introduction video(?) (see screenshot below) and has to be forced quit. Sound is also getting stuck in a stuttering loop.
Game is working in other modes (skirmish etc), as well as the DLC Heart of gold campaign mode.
I've tried:
* rebooting computer
* reinstalling game
* verifying cache (steam)
* playing in windowed and fullscreen modes as well as trying different graphics settings
Computer specs:
Macbook Pro (Retina, Mid 2014)
OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
2,5 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
Build is 1.5.0f10
I installed the game on Windows 10 using BootCamp for now and everything works beautifully. I just tried disabling the cutscenes in Sierra and I can confirm the game now works.
I updated all OSX reports which could suffer the same issue by now.
Cheers and have fun :)
I found Marcel Schulz's post here with the same issue: http://brightrockgames.userecho.com/topics/1256-os-x-crash-on-startup-v140/ posted just a couple of days ago. (didn't see it before I created this thread)
I've also seen the artefacts he's including screenshots of, but didn't take much notice to it since it happens to many games on OS X during loading. Seems his log file include the same Receiving unhandled NULL exception
Obtained 16 stack frames as mine.
Anyway, I'm off to enjoy your game, thanks again for super fast weekend hotfixing :)
Hello Marcel,
you get the crash when you start the first campaign level?
I guess this could be related to cutscenes not working for what ever reason on OSX.
Could you take a look here and try if you can play for now by disabling video cutscenes:

Try to activete this checkbox before starting a campaign:

Let us know if it works.
First off glad you can finally play campaign!
Oh did you see others with the same issue?
We got some OSX crashes caused by a Chromium engine bug which should be unrelated to video cutscenes
and does in fact have no quickfix or bypass.
But if you know other reports of this particular issue?
Ofc I would like to have no one suffering from this crash.
We are keeping this ticket in Accepted state until we found a solution with Unity that makes the cutscenes actually work for you.
Enjoy :)
The hotfix is now out, try to use above setting and let us know if you can play campaign in this way.
Cheers
Thanks for testing this for us.
Watch out for hotfix patch v1.5.0f12, which comes with a new Display Option to disable cutscenes.

Hi,
I'm on OS X. Here are my specs:
I remember playing the game and the Heart of Gold Expansion on 10.9.5 and everything worked perfectly. I recently updated to El Captitan and saw the new Crucible Update and was very interested in trying it. When I launch the game I get weird artifacts on my screen:
After a few seconds everything is back to normal. I decided to play the campaign again but when I launch the first level (1 - Awakening) the game just gets stuck and all I see is:
and a short part of the audio is looped. I tried to disconnect my secondary monitor because I read this might help but it basically leads to the same issues I described. I'm including my log file Player.log
Hope this can be fixed soon
Best Regards
Marcel Schulz
