[Mac] Serious Sam 3 Crash on start-up

[Caesar_091]

I've read about the same problem on Windows but those solutions doesn't apply to Mac platform and cache check is ok.

Is there a way to skip intro movies so I can get access to configuration menu? I think that is something related to the crappy resolution the game is trying to use (1024x768)... I've tried adding +men_bShowIntroCutscene 0 in Steam game's boot options but it doesn't work.

My config (as you can see on the log file) is:
Mac Pro 1,1 (2006) dual 3GHz dual core Xeon
10GB RAM
ATI 5870
MacOS X 10.7.3

[ChrisW]

It looks like you added +men_bShowIntroCutscene=0 instead of +men_bShowIntroCutscene 0 to the command line.

[Caesar_091]

Thanks for your reply; going to make a new test following your suggestion.

Will report ASAP...

Now the intro movies are skipped but the games freezes as well (game logo appears top left and on the bottom of the screen appears a text "press any key to continue").

Can somebody share his game config to put into /../Steam/userdata/../41070/local to try to start the game with a different resolution? 1920x1200 would be great since is my LCD's default resolution...

Actually that folder is empty on my installation!

[Caesar_091]

I made a few more tests (read as: I had a few more kernel panics) running the game with those console parameters you can find here or in other topics like this one but on other forums.

Actually running the game with these options results in no changes, just a system freeze:

+men_bShowIntroCutscene 0; +hud_bShowClock 1; +gfx_iAPI 1; +gfx_iFXAA 0; gfx_iAntiAliasingSamples 4; +sfx_iAPI 1; +gfx_pixResHeight 1200; +gfx_pixResWidth 1920

Hope they will relapse a fix ASAP...

New log attached.

[ChrisW]

While you are testing stuff, you may want to try adding +tex_pixMaxSize 256 (semi-colons are not needed) since it seems to only detect 256MB of video ram for ATI cards. I would not be surprised to find out this is caused by Hypermemory.

[hailthetriforce]

I'm having video problems. No video is loading whatsoever and the only thing that is displayed are menus and the HUD. Audio works fine but everything is just black. I tried changing the video settings but got zero results.

[Solais]

Yes, that black screen problem is being worked on at the moment, but still no info about what causes it.

Thanks for your suggestion but I had two more system crushes!

The first trying to start the game with these options:

+men_bShowIntroCutscene 0; +hud_bShowClock 1; +tex_pixMaxSize 256; +gfx_iAPI 1; +gfx_iFXAA 0; gfx_iAntiAliasingSamples 4; +sfx_iAPI 1; +gfx_pixResHeight 1200; +gfx_pixResWidth 1920

PS: I've also tried to start the game from Windows 7 64bit Professional via BootCamp (finally get it on the Windows client too) but the application quits reporting an unspecific error... lol no way to get this game running on my machine
