MacOS X and MacOS 9 Bug?

Post by TheMage »

Hi

I'm playing exult with MacOS 9.1 and the programm crashes sometimes because of Error 2 without obvious reason.
Has Anybody a similar Error?

Will there be a OS X version or is it easy to compile exult for MacOS X?

The OS X version is working fine for me for quite some time. I withdrew the OS X beta binary again shortly after it's release, since some people had problems with it apparanetly caused by a compiler bug - it would work fine if you had an existing exult installation, but didn't manage to create the missing folders if you installed it freshly.


As to the OS 9 version crashing: nay, I can't say I have similiar errors, it always run flawlessly for me. Then again, that's several months ago, I am booting into OS 9 maybe one every other month or so these days. If you compile it yourself, maybe you can create a stacktrace?

If you get a chance, please try out the Mac OS 9/X binaries of RC 1, if they work properly for you or not, and report your findings to me (best via email).
Thanks!
