Game Fails to Launch or Loads

[Stir_Fry_Beans]

Hello all, I am using the latest KSP on an early 2011 MacBook Pro with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8 jiggabytes of RAM. It is running OS X 10.7.5 Lion. Like I said this is 1.0.4 KSP however I am getting the same issue with .90 Beta. When I try and run the launcher all I get is the launcher window completely blacked out and the mouse starts to pinwheel. I can launch the program directly and access settings and even start a game, but as soon as I select start game or resume game the loading screen makes about a half of a revolution and then freezes and the computer begins to pinwheel. By forcing the screen to refresh by dragging the window around I can get a glitchy view of KSC to load but I can't click on any of the buildings. The worst part of this is, the game stops outputting to the log after I select start game, so I can't see whats going on. Since the game doesn't actually crash (just refuses to load) there is no crash log that I can read or upload for you guys to look at. I have tried with fresh installs and like mentioned before KSP .90 Beta and the issue still persists. I also deleted the old plist files and the game save states. I have reason to believe that it is an out of RAM error that is being sneaky. By viewing the activity monitor I can see that KSP is using upwards of 1.5 GB or even above 2 GB in some cases when it freezes. The issue persists even when I turned down graphics settings and I even tried using Active Texture Management! No luck.

Here is a link to imgur gallery of screenshots...sorry for PNG's and lack of banana for scale. Also not cat tacks.

Looks like there is an unhandled exception but I can't make heads or tails of it.

It was a corrupt font file somewhere on the computer that was causing the game to crash. Got rid of some excess font libraries and performed fontrestore. Worked like a charm.

Added my KSP.log file to the post. Please note that it stops outputting after the title screen.

It is my understanding the launcher hasn't worked on OS X---possibly ever. I've never even tried to use it.

Thank you! I don't really care if the launcher itself works, but I would like my actually game to load, right now it just gets stuck trying to load KSC.

I had been running Lion on my mid 2010 i7 iMac, with no problems, and I am now running Yosemite (did a clean install when I threw an SSD in to replace a failing HD).

Seems really odd.

Watch the console next time, and see what errors it is throwing.

I have watched the console before but it stops outputting after I reach the title menu. The only errors I have gotten were non fatal part reading errors, nothing too serious and it did not stop the game from loading. This is not my normal computer and I usually don't use Apple products! I am stuck with this machine for a little while and I am trying to make the best of it

Hi Stir_Fry_Beans, I don't see errors in your log, but your pics look like the anti-aliasing bug.

Please try disabling anti-aliasing in the KSP settings then start the game again.

I'd suggest updating your graphics driver, but apparently that isn't something you can do on a Mac.

[Stir_Fry_Beans]

Thanks for your reply sal_vager, I tried disabling the anti-aliasing and it still didn't work. The only change is now I can't make the glitchy view of KSC appear, instead I get the loading bar in the lower right and a black window. The only way to update the graphics drivers is to update to a new OS :/ I normally use a PC and using a Mac so far has been pretty crappy.

Maybe the player.log has some clues.

Mac OSX: Open Console, on the left side of the window there is a menu that says 'files'. Scroll down the list and find the Unity drop down, under Unity there will be Player.log Aka Files>~/Library/Logs>Unity>Player.log

Console might be Finder, and the files may be hidden.

[Stir_Fry_Beans]

After viewing my player.log there is an unhandled exception but I have no idea what the log is telling me at this point.

[sal_vager]

Can you put the file on dropbox please ?

I think it's saying you have a corrupt font, I have no idea how to fix that so all I can do is point you to OSX support threads, hopefully fixing the fonts will fix KSP.

It's something to try at least.

This makes a ton of sense actually and thank you for your help. This is my mother's back up work machine and she does graphic design and helps people self publish books! The number of fonts on this machine must be enormous.

[Stir_Fry_Beans]

After removing 2 GB of font libraries from the machine and performing a fontrestore the game is working! Thanks for your help.
