Mac 10.8.3 crashes at startup

Game Dev Tycoon bug
#1

I played through the demo and just bought the full game. When I start the game it crashes as soon as it goes fullscreen; sometimes the splash screen displays but usually it’s just gray.

Here’s the interesting thread in the trace:

This might help more, I have no idea what this means, but it might help you figure out my problem.

@PatrickKlug they are from the demo app. Is it packaged with previous version of node-webkit? btw, for some reason I didn’t get email notification when you mentions my id.

#6

oh, I didn’t see that this is the DEMO. We have not updated the DEMO yet.

#7

@PatrickKlug @gnor The trace at the start of the thread is not from the DEMO, FWIW.

#8

What’s your version and system network settings looks like? Thanks.

note i have never been able to get to title screen

#10

found out how to fix it for me. i just updated my system from 1.7.2 to 1.7.5 might work for some other people

#11

I keep on getting rendering errors when loading my savegames, not being able to see any staff, and now after the first time it gives me an error, it will crash on startup, forcing me to restart my laptop.

#12

Error message when I first play the game after startup:
Uncaught Error: InvalidStateError: DOM Exception 11
(file:///Applications/Game%20Dev%20Tycoon.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/compressed/codeNw.js:1361)

#13

So are you guys going to address this?

#14

@davidbanthony13 have you updated to 1.3.9? I thought we fixed all DOM Exception errors.

#15

Whoops, sorry, didn’t notice that. No, I haven’t updated.
