Title: (877) Black screen on OSX 10.9.5
Post by: aalek on July 30, 2015, 11:22:42 AM
Hi !


I downloaded the latest version yesterday (877) and when i load the game , just a black screen , nothing happen even if i wait..

everything was fine on 857 , but i tried to put some mods ( MD2 ) and when i went back to the main menu after accepting the mods , i just got a default image of the main menu , without anything else.. so i re downloaded the game , but it was 877 (0.11.877 rev689) , and now the game don't launch ,i just get a black screen..

what can i do ?

i don't know if it's a known issue but i havent found anything about it. at least is it possible to download 857 instead of 877 ?

thanks for your answers !

Thanks for your answer

Unfortunately nothing works , i don't even have a ludeon folder to erase..

As apparently the next version is going to be released around 2016 , do you think it's possible to get back a 857 download link ? :/

No ludeon Folder to erase? hm, what about in Users/[username]/library/caches/rimworld/config?

as for 857, unless you retained a copy, no legal ways of getting it back

thanks again for your answer !

It works now ! But there was still no Ludeon folder , so i launched " omnidisksweeper " to see if there was any track of rimworld on my computer.

i realised there was an hidden folder on my desktop ".rimworld857 " and an other hidden folder in " Macintosh HD / library / application support " , i've erased both of them and now it's working !

Both folder need an app like Omnidisksweeper to be seen and erased :)

i hope it'll help anyone else !

You don't actually need an app to view hidden folders, you can instead open terminal and paste in "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" and then relaunch finder. I remember a while back after updating my OS the entire Application Support folder was hidden by default, and that's when I learned this.
