So I want to try out the game, and figured I should try out the Demo first!
So I downloaded the game, installed it etc, but it crashes on startup…
I wont be able to post the message I get since that I can only post 1600 letters.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Happens to me too! It will crash on startup every time. And the icon will not appear in my application folder even when installing correctly. I’ve tried my way around it but nothing will allow it to work.
Let’s just hope someone knows what to do!
Are you… Lol wat?
same issue is happening to me
can you please post some error messages. Doesn’t have to be the complete crash log but something to give us a clue so that @gnor can look at it.

Yep same thing is happening to me. Demo worked absolutely fine though, bought the game today and can’t even get to the title screen!
In my case it’s the demo that just doesn’t work
Oh right! Sounds like the same error though, our error reports are exactly the same. I’m on OSX 10.8.3, are you on the same?
os x 10.6.8 for me .-.
THIS IS FOR THE DEMO FOR ME, I HAVE NOT YET EVEN BOUGHT THE FULL VERSION

I’m on OSX 10.7, I hope this issue is solved, I really want to play this game and help the devs out
Do you have any idea what Singleton Lock is? When I go to ~/Library/Application Support/game dev tycoon demo, the only file in the game dev tycoon folder is a Document named Singleton Lock
Yeah thats the same as with the full game, although there are other things, like a folder called ‘cache’, then ‘cookies’, ‘cookies journal’ then a folder called ‘local storage’ and then Singleton Lock. Don’t know if thats the same for you?
I’ve had a response from the dev team and they’ve asked me to email precise details of the problem, so I’ll get back to you guys on here once they get back to me!
can you guys try out the new update (full game):
http://forum.greenheartgames.com/t/game-dev-tycoon-1-3-9-rolling-out/3214
We will try to update the DEMO soon as well but at the moment our priority is to fix breaking issues for players who’ve bought the game.
@falconmaiden We don’t support Mac OS 10.6 - you will need to have Mac OS 10.7+ - this is stated on our website. The underlying technology (node-webkit) does not support older versions of Mac OS.
Sorry for the super nooby question, but how do I update the game?
Don’t worry, I just read how to do it. Ha My bad.
