Mac crashes

[coaster_uk]

Hi all,

Firstly - good work on an excellent site.

I got a copy of Civ3 for the mac today but since installing it, have only had about five mins gameplay before it crashes (thought crashing was a thing of the past after throwing my PC in the bin)

Anyhoo, I've copied some of the error report in the hope that someone can shed some light on why this is happening.

Thanks in advance.

Do you get a message box within the game or does it just exit to the finder? If it's in game can you post a screenie or at least the text of the message?

Hi, welcome

You're running the PowerPC code, under Rosetta. I suspect that means you have the original release of Civ3 Complete which was not an Intel-native application.

I strongly recommend that you download and run the Aspyr Rev A updater to get the Universal code which will run native on your Intel CPU.

You are currently ...
... running Windows code that has been ...
... wrapped in a layer of Windows->Mac+PowerPC adaptation software, ....
... and that's running in the Rosetta converter to convert it back to Intel code ...

Hardly surprising that it falls apart!
