Won't launch on OSX

Post by CynicalNsomniac »

Whenever I try to launch on Mac a window pops up saying "sandbox cannot be opened because of a problem". I have no idea what to do. My Mac is running version 10.6.5 if that helps.

What launcher are you using: Intel, or PPC?

10.6.5 is Intel only.

Where did you run the launcher?

It is an Intel, and I have the launcher under Applications.

Did you download the windows or the mac osx version? If you downloaded the windows version, that can be the problem

That's your problem. You need to have the Launcher.app and Sandbox.app in the Sandbox Multiplatform folder, the same directory as the CLICK_ME_TO_START.bat file.

I have the same problem, and I can't help but think it is something I did! This whole download a bunch of things and join them together is very confusing.
So I download the MultiPlatform version ... check
I download the intel mac binary ... check
I place the sandbox.app inside the Multiplatform folder and click to run... ???

I used the have this working on my old ppc, but that one had a launcher and no sandbox.app, this one is reversed. It's all 2.6.1 by the way.
