This game is a tremendous achievment, but so far the 2.3 release for Mac is unplayable. I thoroughly enjoyed playing 2.2.1, and was eagerly awaiting this new release - so dissapointed to find out that the stable release is crashing more or less every time I play on the battlescape. The old version didn't have these problems. Will the 2.3 release be re-released?

there will be a 2.3.1 "soon" - but we need mac developers or testers to help us to nail down the problem(s)

Are you having PPC issues or x86 issues?

I eagerly downloaded the new version but quickly found myself stymied-- as soon as I entered the battlescape, some kind of graphical glitch occurred, and now my program won't open at all. I'm running version 2.3 downloaded from the link on the main page on a MacBook Pro. I would be happy to help test things if you guys have stuff to do, but right now the game doesn't work for me at all.

I too downloaded 3.2 and crash on every battlescape. I copied and pasted the info from my "Send to Apple" pop-up when the game crashed. Would that help you developers?

It's my 1st ever attempt to play a X-COM related game since "Terror from the deep".

MacBook pro(Intel), MacOS 10.6.3.

Craches everytime I get into a battlefield. (Another reason to prefer Windows over Mac :-) )

Mike, can you add some more lines of log? We need to know what map exactly is wrong.

Damn, I tried to start playing this game all day - and no result. And few hours ago I started the game... and played absolutely stable. :o
If I'll get some issues in future - I will post a more informative log.

Thanks for help anyway.

The cow model is on +farm if I'm right. But I don't think it's a problem with the model, it worked for me fine.

Maybe it is a Mac specific issue.
@MikeTheRat do you have a PPC or an Intel Mac?

Maybe this case the map tile on which the cow is was not assembled to the map. Lucky RMA (Random Map Assembly).

I know. I tried to load many different maps to find a cow and test this issue. Finally I found a map with the cow, and played without any troubles.
Is there different cow models?

P.S.
And yes, I have an Intel Mac with Nvidia graphic card.

2010/12/27 10:25:55 load material file: 'materials/africa.mat'

It's africa/af_house5.map and the cow has property anim set to "idle". Don't know anything about misc_model animations, though. Maybe MCR or mattn knows about this?

The cow in +farm  is in farm/f_stables_a.map and it also has the same anim property set to "idle".

MikeTheRat, could you try the +farm map in skirmish mode, make sure it loads with a cow and see if you get the same error?

We have just one cow model.

Well, today I tried to load +farm maps (small, medium and large) with cows about 10 times. Everything works perfect.
Anyhow, seems the problem is resolved.

Thanks for help everyone.
