Patch Problem

sansterre · 08-23-2006, 09:30 PM

I installed the 1.02 patch of OOTP2006 for my mac. Now, when i click on the shortcut, it loads a black screen, and nothing else. However, when I manually tell it to quit, it hangs. What's up?

sansterre,

I'm sorry for the slow response to this thread.

Obviously, I hope you've found a solution to your issue already.

If not, our experience has been that Mac users experiencing the "black screen" problem have been able to resolve it by completely uninstalling the game, and then reinstalling.

Save a copy of the e-sellerate file from your OOTP folder, and then drag the whole thing to the trash. Grab a fresh copy of OOTP 1.3, and then replace the e-Sellerate file and start the game up.

Hope this helps!

Steve

We have a rule that states that Tech Support threads wherein we have not received a response within 7 days will be closed.

This one meets this criteria, so I'm closing this.

If you want to discuss it again, just PM me with the thread link, and I'll re-open. (Don't just say "Hey, reopen my thread." I need to know the URL, thanks!)
