The Application Quit Unexpectedly

[hellodarren2000]

Hi. I'm trying to make the game I'm making compatible with Macs but when I click it it seems to load for a few seconds with the name showing at the top, but I then get a "The Application Quit Unexpectedly" error message.

Any help fixing this appreciated, here's the error log (note I ran into a character limit when posting the full log so had to trim it, let me know if you need the rest):

Is there any reason you haven't updates to 10.8.3? There have been a lot of bugs squashed since 10.8.0 was released.

 

[Guiyon]

Have you actually read through the crash log? More often than not, a single thread is marked as having crashed the app; This marker is right next to the thread's name. Just look through the backtrace of the Crashed thread and see where in your code you should start looking for issues. Also an EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception at address 0x0000000000000000 exception usually indicates a NULL pointer access.

I'm downloading the 10.8.3 update now and will try again.

I'm using a game framework called GameMaker Studio. In the log I posted it says thread 3 crashed but I don't know where I would need to look in my code and don't know what a NULL pointer access is. I'm running Mountain Lion via VMware on a Windows 7 machine if that's any help.

I'm running Mountain Lion via VMware on a Windows 7 machine if that's any help.

That is extremely important information! I'm not sure how compatible Mac OS X is with VMWare's emulated graphics chipset so that could be your problem since it looks like the app is crashing when it drops into the OpenGL layer. Unfortunately, without a physical Mac to test it on it will be difficult to narrow the issue down any further; if you are planning on releasing and supporting the app I would strongly advise either getting a cheap mac (a year or two old Mac Mini should work fine, assuming your game isn't too graphically intensive) or finding a friend with one.

Okay I just tested it on my friend's iMac and it works fine there. My computer must not be able to handle a virtual iMac machine or something. Shame. Thanks for your help guys.
