Have you tried anything?

Reinstall game?
Reinstall Windows, then the game?

Post something on the Steam forum's as there are people that will likely be able to help you. Remember to search as this has probably happened before.

All right, I did not know you were using Crossover. If you wouldn't believe it, I have a problem with Garry's Mod as well. My game crashes once I press the icon to open it. Not sure what is wrong, but I also haven't had the time to figure it out. I just use Windows to run games. Crossover is nice, but lets face it, it does have issues.

it does have some problems but i can deal with it but this one i cant deal with
and i posted this problem on facepunch studios and steam forum but because i was new to facepunch i got banned for posting a video game problem in video games:confused: and try to put dxlevel to 81 or look up youtube for the solution

Post a new thread on Codeweavers.com If you do, I'll post something about my problem as well. I am getting an "Engine Error:"

"failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer"

ill do that. I HATE that i dont have a solution for that but i got it to stop but the stacker tool doesnt work well and everything is messed up but you can get it to stop by using dxlevel 70 i think
 
could this problem be caused by the hl2 game because when i downloaded it it had this white screen and thats it somtimes it would just quit without an error:confused:
 
Unexpected quits?

It seems certain materials and props crash the game, saying HL2_osx (or something around that area) has quit unexpectedly... its really annoying, anyone know when it'll get fixed? I don't use crossover or anything like that its just snow leopard...
 
Edit: Wait. I just looked and Garry's Mod is native to OS X now. Why the heck are you running it in Crossover?

Double Edit: And I'm a ********, I just realized the original post is from 2008. Scorpio2812 WTH man, why would you bump a 3 year old thread?
______________________________________________________________________________________________

  • You guys have to post more details, saying a app just crashed does not mean anything to anyone
  • Mentioning that the game was being run using Crossover/Wine would have been helpful!
  • This thread should have probably been posted in the Mac and PC Games sub-forum
  • Tell us what version of OS X your running (Ex: 10.6.6)
  • You also need to post the specs (CPU/Memory/Video Card) and model your Mac

No promises I can actually help you with this, but this is how to get more info:
  1. Add "-dev -condebug +sv_cheats 1" to your launch settings
  2. Go In-game
  3. Press the Tilda (~) key to open the Console
  4. Type "developer 2"
  5. Press Enter
  6. Make the game crash
  7. Find console.log in your game folder
  8. Compress console.log it and post it here
  9. Remove "-dev -condebug +sv_cheats 1" from your launch settings
  10. Open up the OS X Console and post any error messages from around the time the game crashed.
There also might be *.mdmp (Memory Mini Dump) files somewhere in the Steam or Gmod folders. You can also post those, but I don't have the tools to look at them.

Your next step after this would be to try the Crossover & Wine Forums. -
