Powder Toy Crashes on Start - Mac
-
I am having a bizarre problem right now with Powder Toy version 90.2 on Mac OS X 10.9.5. When I try to launch Powder Toy, I get a window asking me if I want to reopen its previous windows. Whether I click 'Reopen' or 'Don't reopen', the program crashes, with the specific error being 'EXC_BAD_ACCESS'. I tried to use older versions of the program (90.1, 89.2), but the same problem occurs.
Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated

Is there any way to get the full error? Sometimes it prints a really details error report which can be useful.
Do the snapshots here work? http://tpt.io/.289614 -
Thanks for the quick reply. Here is a pastebin of the error:http://pastebin.com/CAnUrvNi
Interestingly enough while searching for a solution I found your mod on this website, and it seems to start without problem. Until this solution is solved I will be sticking with using your mod.

Yay, my mod is probably better anyway :P
Looks like the full error isn't too helpful (but it is always nice to have to confirm it isn't something simple). I'm not sure if I will be able to fix the crash in the official mac version, but knowing if the snapshots crash might be helpful. -
Ok. I will do a bit of testing and see if a snapshot works.
Thanks again for the help

Well probably either one works or none work :P
I haven't personally tested them, but some people have used them. I was just wondering if they crashed with the same reason as 90.2 -
Just opened the 91.0 Snapshot for Mac and it seems to start and work fine. The link I used was the main download link in the thread. Just as a note, the errors which I got on the older versions I tried to use were identical, if not, very similar to the error which occurs on 90.2

Weird.
Do you have fullscreen enabled by any chance? That doesn't work on the official versions due to being compiled with an outdated version of SDL. It just causes crashes. -
I don't recall using fullscreen, although I havn't used the game in a while, so it is possible that it is trying to start in fullscreen.

If that is the issue, deleting uk.co.hadwired.plist, or something like that, should fix it. I don't know where it is stored on OS X.
