Yes, you read that subject line correctly.

I have a brand new Mac Book Pro. My Mac upgrade was prompted in some small part by wanting a machine that was actually up to the task of playing this game.



On Wednesday, I tried to launch Endless Legend for the first time. It crashed. I tried again and again. Crashed every time. I tried every fix I could find in your web pages -- modifying the registry.xml, turning off the Steam overlay, etc. Nothing fixed it. I even deleted the local content and re-downloaded the game... still crashed.



On Thursday evening after a long day of work, I sat down with my Mac and I accidentally clicked the Play button... and, miraculously, the game launched flawlessly and I enjoyed about 2 hours working my way through the tutorial and various menus. I quit the game and went to bed.



Tonight, I hit play... and crashed. I did more digging on the web site. I found the suggestion to install the MONO package. Tried that. Crash. I checked for updates... fine. I checked game integrity... fine.



[EDIT] Still crashes on Saturday.



I do not know what was special about Thursday. I have tried every fix that is proposed on your pages. Please... help me. I would like to be able to play more than once per week.

SOLVED IT!!!



Weirdly -- the autogenerated Registry.xml is bad; editing it didn't fix anything, but deleting it entirely did. I had wiped it out on Wednesday night in frustration, so when I tried it on Thursday the app launched. But it recreated the Registry.xml file, so after I quit and restarted, it regenerated... and back to crashing.



So, as long as I wipe the file before I launch, all good. You might want to fix this bug, but I have a workaround for now. :-)

Great find, and thanks for sharing.



I'll raise this with the team, but until it's fixed it's good to know there's a workaround.

Ok.... I did *something* in my game/Steam settings and now the game launches just fine without needing to delete Registry.xml every time. I really don't know what it is that I changed. I mean, I'm happy about this, but I wish I had something more concrete to give you folks in order to fix this.

And now tonight, we're back to crashing every time I try to launch.

*head bang*

And tonight it works again. I really have no idea what I'm changing on my system. I thought I understood, but I clearly don't. It's some mystical setting that I happen to hit from time to time.
