Any Fix for Homeworld 2 on 10.6

[Evildemon989]

Hello,

When I try to run hw 2 in snow leopard, it instantly crashes. On 10.5 it worked fine. Any fix for this?

 

[voyagerd]

I just tried running it too, same problem.

 

[duckman]

yeah the snow leopard compatibility thing says version 1.1.1 will work but version 1.1 will not, however i have version 1.1.1 and it still crashes immediately. this is one of my favorite games and it would really be a bummer if it dosnt work anymore. anyone have any ideas of how to fix it

 

[Zortrium]

I haven't heard of anyone who has it working on SL; my recommendation is to go to http://support.aspyr.com/ and open a ticket about HW2 on Snow Leopard.

 

[voyagerd]

I got it working in Snow Leopard! You just have to uncheck "Disable mouse acceleration in game"!

I just tried to run the Homeworld 2 installer on SL and it didn't lanuch at all.
(No errors just disappears from the dock instantly).

I attempted to just copy an install from a G5 10.4 install and Homeworld 2 launches but reports the serial is expired and to re-install - which I cannot do.

Can anyone advise how/where the serial lives for homeworld 2 so I can just copy my valid serial from 10.4 to SL?

voyagerd is absolutly right!! Super
it works; you saved my day!
Thanks

 

[squeakytown]

So did those who have it working on 10.6 reinstall it on SL or migrate it from an older OS?

My installer will not launch?

I installed it on Snow Leopard and had no problems with the installer. Can you post what gets outputted to the system log in the Console when you run the installer?

 

[squeakytown]

Thanks - now knowing the installer should work in SL, I dug up a backup of my HW2 install CD. This install was fine...I just had assumes it was a SL issue as my original CD open and listed without errors - I even created a image copy without getting an error.
So HW2 is running fine now.

How do you do this when the game won't load? The launcher loads for me, but when I click play, I get "Homeworld 2 quit unexpectedly" with a box offering to send a report to Apple. How do you set this setting without loading the game?

Edit: I installed the Patch, which gave me access to this option in the installer, but it still doesn't work, even when I set "Disable mouse acceleration". I get a black screen briefly and then the same "Homeworld 2 quit unexpectedly" window. Any ideas?

Edit Edit: Okay, cancel that, it works *without* clicking "Disable mouse acceleration". Go figure!

Stuart.

 

[hivetyrant36]

What?

Ok, you said to disable mouse acceleration in game, but how the heck am I supposed to do that if I can't even open the game?
I looked around to see if this could be done on OSX, and apparently there are tools, but they suck.

Here is the error code

[Formul]

there is a simple fix, just hold down Option when the game is starting and UNCHECK "Disable mouse acceleration in game" and voila

 

[Lego2build]

Install patch?

How do you go about installing the 1.1.1 update from 1.1.0?

 

[dimmer-fj]

Easy

How do you go about installing the 1.1.1 update from 1.1.0?

The 1.1.1 update is just a new application: download it, decompress it, and drag it into your Homeworld 2 folder. You'll be asked if you want to replace the existing app, say that you do and all is well.

 

[C. Alan]

Has anyone ever found a solution for the Serial number error message? According to the Aspyr website, you need to delete a package file in the Library/receipts directory. I also applied the 1.1.1 patch, but I still get the Serial Number error message.
