Mac v 1.3.7 - Fix for most DOM exception crashes and retina display issues

#23

Hi, i’ve download the new update, 1.3.7 for mac, but i’ve still have the same problem than the 1.3.6. When I start the game, I’ve a white switching to grey screen and the game shoot down with apple error. I’ve tried to delete de cache folder, but I’m still have the problem.
I was using the 1.3.2 with no problem.
I’m on an iMac 9,1 with 10.8.3

#24

I’m confused. Where exactly do I download v1.3.7?

#25

Same problem here. game crashes directly at start up on macbook air 10.8.3

#26

You got your Downloadlinks in the E-Mail after purchase.

#27

I got to the start page, and then appears the name of my last company and “click to continue”. All right, i do it, and then the game crashes and i can’t continue from where i was before. I can create a new one, but i’m afraid of doing all that again (i was at year 15 or something) and the game crashes again in the future…

#28

When trying to loan the game crashes and I get the following errors when I look in the Console:

WindowServer: CGXRegisterWindowWithSystemStatusBar: window f already
registered WindowServer: CGXGetConnectionProperty: Invalid connection
147587

This happens every time I click to continue on the splash screen. I’ve tried deleting the cache folder entirely but this does not solve the issue. Any ideas?

#29

WOW! You fixed it. I can now load all of my games from the past several days. I have been saving copies of my game save folders, and I can load all 3 of my old games! Great job Patrick!

BTW, I never saw any error messages, the game would simply exit previously.

it seems that i do have to delete the Cache every single time

#34

thanks for reporting. I remember you said that it worked sometimes without deleting the cache? in any case, we will investigate

#35

@juan what OS version are you using? You will need Mac OS 10.7+. Can you give us some more info about your system?

#36

@andrewsmhay @Scott_Smedley were you able to play the game at all on your system or does this happen when trying to load a saved game? If the latter can you please send us the save file to support@greenheartgames.com

#37

I had played it all day yesterday and today. Now, the app crashes immediately after I click at the “click to continue” splash screen.

#38

Moving/deleting the file__0.localstorage and file__0.localstorage-journal files

I’ll send the save files in.

#39

Temporary fix:

  1. Open your terminal
  2. Run

$ mkdir ~/Library/Application\ Support/Game\ Dev\ Tycoon/Local\ Storage/tmp

  1. Then move the sqlite files out of the main directory (these are your save games)

$ mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Game\ Dev\ Tycoon/Local\ Storage/file* tmp

  1. You should then be able to start the application (though you will start back at the beginning, at least you’ll be able to play again)
#40

Just downloaded the game, as soon as I open it there’s a gray screen, and within a second it quits unexpectedly. Running 10.7.2.

#41

@andrewsmhay I tested your files and can only reproduce the problem if I don’t delete the Cache folder first. What machine do you use?

MacBook Pro (non-retina) mid-2012. OS X 10.8.3. What else do you need? I can send you the error report associated with the Apple Error given when I try to launch GDT?

#44

Here is a workaround for the DOM exception and crash issue:

  1. open a terminal window
  2. run ‘ulimit -n 1024’
  3. run your game from terminal: path.to.app/Contents/MacOS/node-webkit
