Attention Mac users!

[Omnidon]

The app freezes anytime you try to access a pulldown menu (combo-box?), such as the one on the License panel (which accesses no media). Not sure if there is anything I can do to address this issue.

Sounds like an issue with director's internal Flash player, which isn't too surprising.
Or it might be a Theme issue if you stopped using flash-based menu elements. Is there a way to set the windows Theme when launching it in that wrapper?

Just a quick follow up question; has there been any movement of the needle on this issue?
Thanks,

I haven't had time to pursue it further, although I did install the necessary software on another computer for further exploration when I am able. My day-to-day laptop wasn't really up to the task, as I was having to boot from an external hard drive containing a more-modern version of OS X.

Thanks for the rapid feedback. I understand as the only Windows machine in the house is an ancient acer netbook. Although I have the latest beta installed, the pitiable machine continues to choke on it. Here's hoping you manage to corral the needed resources to press forward soon!

If you are still using flash-based menu elements and need a new dropdownbox element to experiment with, I can provide one.

Hi! Has anyone been able to run BGE Windows in Wine for Mac OS X? I tried during a vanilla install of it in Wine & got an error message that there was a problem with X11 (I think) or something like that. Then, it just closed.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

I can't even get Wine itself to launch on my system.

Hi heruca! I use Wineskin which can be found on this website: http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-index.php

I'm giving the Windows demo a go in my Parallels installation in my iMac. Would prefer to use Wine so that I can transfer it to my MacBook Air when I'm travelling.

Yesterday I discovered that neither BGE nor BRPG will run on a Mac that meets the listed system requirements if the app is installed on a NTFS-formatted hard drive. No idea why, but I suspect it's a permissions-related issue.
