Hemisphere Games Forum

Hi majorman,

Sadly I'm not a Mac guy and so don't have much to offer you. We've got a bunch of Mac users on these forums, though, so hopefully someone can help you out with your troubles. If you manage to figure things out, please do post back with the solution that worked for you.

Thanks!
Dave

Jazz Ad, it looks like your game was crashing in the sound system, and that there was some weird voodoo happening with OpenAL. Just to be clear -- do you have the game up and running smoothly now? FWIW, it should be quite possible to have the Steam demo and full version running side-by-side. You're ...

Indeed it has, Catinthewall. Sadly we're having some trouble with our e-Commerce partner. People who've already purchased the game directly from us have already received the full version of the game and shouldn't have any problems, but we've decided to disable direct sales through the Hemisphere Gam...

@ Ktown: when you say the game "ground to a halt right before level S1-2", what exactly do you mean? (Did the game hang? Did the game crash? etc) Also, can you have a look in your Osmos.log file (it's in your Documents folder, under the Osmos directory) -- is there anything revealing at th...

Great Drache! Yeah, the defaults.cfg that's in "Program Files/Osmos" is the default config -- it only gets used if MyDocuments/Osmos/Config.cfg is missing (which is the case, for example, when Osmos is run for the first time). If you ever want to revert to the default settings for the game...

Hi drache, If you've clicked 'no' to the 'Allow Osmos to check online for updates?' screen, the easiest way to change this is to close Osmos, edit the Osmos config file (<username>\Documents\Osmos\Config.cfg) and change the line allowAutoUpdates "0" to allowAutoUpdates "1" Then, ...

@ bamboo: Strange problem indeed. Can you please post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks!
Dave

@ yurivish: Thanks for the details on this! We'll post information soon to the FAQ for helping Mac users with the common 'gotchas' in running Osmos on PC emulation. @ plato: When running true HW fullscreen, Osmos looks to use the current display settings for true fullscreen. In Windows, try going to...

Hi ktowngames, Do you know what kind of graphics card you have (is it an ATI card? nVidia?) Try just doing a google search for 'latest <yourCardName> drivers'. Here's what I just found: If you have an ATI card, download latest drivers here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML If you have an nVidi...

Hi ijontichy,

We've not yet started on a Linux version of Osmos. It's on our list of "Things we'd like to do with Osmos". Needless to say, we've been really busy up to this point just getting Osmos out the door!
