(I know this is a cross-post, but I figured that on the outside chance some people who read this sub-forum might not hit the Games section might know of a solution I would try here as well.)
I have been having a hell of a time getting Prey to run. The most annoying part is that the very first time I installed it, it ran perfectly right after the installation. The next day though? No go. The icon would bounce a couple times in the dock and then disappear. Subsequent installs have not worked at all. I've even tried installing as my main user with admin rights and as another user with just standard rights. Nothing is working. Until last night. I checked the info for the icon and noticed a check box for Rosetta. I checked that and the game started up. Of course it ran horribly, but it still ran.
So here's the big question. Why wouldn't it run normally? It's a Universal Binary. I'm running it on an early '08 Mac Pro (vanilla config in sig) with Leopard.
