Has anyone addressed this?  I get the same problem.  download 2.3.1 for the Mac and clicked on it to run and it comes up with the same error.

[jtaferl]

same problem.
are there any prerequisites to install??

[Endless Ike]

It's been addressed in other threads, really should be a sticky though...

1) go here: http://ufoai.ninex.info/snapshots/
 and download the dev. 2.4

2) launch it, if it doesn't ever finish loading, go to ~/Documents/UFOAI-2.4-dev/base

and make put a config.cfg file there containing only:

set cl_introshown "1" a

then it will work

[lawlz]

Thanks!

I tried this, though, and it didn't work.  (I've created a new 2.4 topic above.)

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand the logic behind not reporting bugs for the "supposedly" stable version when the sticky apparently wants people to try the not-so-stable version first, then for people to go to the dev version that's not linked from the front/download page.

I tried to register and edit the wiki page "Compile for Mac" with the information in this thread that got me able to play the game.

I failed. Spam filter or something

I've got to agree...enough so that I bothered to register.
I hadn't tried this game in quite some time and thought I would come back and re-download it.
Clicked the link, downloaded.  It wouldn't open, failed to mount.
Checked this forum, saw this topic that I figured was my issue, and read to download it again from a different area.
That really makes no sense.  The "stable" version really isn't the stable version if it doesn't work to the point that people are told to download the "Dev" version.
