Closed *How to Fix* Starbound crashes on Mac

So the other day I downloaded starbound for the mac and upon trying to play for the second try I found it would crash a few seconds after it would start running. The error I had was : 13:25:06 starbound : This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore
So if your starbound logo opens on the launchpad thing for about a second then closes read on

1) Restart steam
2) Redownload Starbound
3) Go to your starbound folder and move the 'Player folder out'

When I did step 3 I managed to get it working. Probably a patch was installed and the characters needed to be deleted but weren't

 

Oh thank goodness, I thought I would never find a solution to that.

I guess last time I looked up a solution, I forgot to take the Player folder out entirely.

 

This problem happens anytime I modify the files in the player folder. As in, if I delete one to delete a character it completely invalidates the entire folder and doesn't let the game launch. Easy fix is to delete/move/rename the player folder. I'm hoping there's a better solution other than losing characters every time this happens...

 

I have a Mac too but there is no Player folder in the Starbound folder..

 

Do you have Mavericks installed

 

I just NOW got Starbound and I have no player made yet what should I do? I NEED HELP I THINK I WASTED MY MONEY

 

You just need to delete the .ds_store file. Moving the folder is just a 'extremely complicated' method of doing that

 

Dude thank you so much, this fixed it completely for me, no idea why this worked but after 2 days I was almost ready to give up.

 

Anfraxx

 

All I have in my starbound folder is assets lunix32 lunix64 mods and win32 aswell as Starbound

 

My bad lunix 32 No space though

 

You are the man! Thanks bro

 

As stated earlier, removing the .DS_Store file will also fix the problem, saving you from losing anything.

 

Also, since these files are invisible in the Finder by default, if you want to easily remove them or disable their creation entirely (which can cause some Finder view options/settings to not take effect) then read this http://danilo.ariadoss.com/how-to-recursively-remove-ds_store-files-on-mac-os-x/

 

You cant actually disable their creation you can only mitigate it slightly

 

help =( i keep taking out the player folder but I'm forced to make a new character whenever i start the game

 

There is no Player folder

 

the player folder is on the mac edition if your right click on the game in steam and hit browse local files you will see it you only see the player folder after you create a character it exists


HOWEVER, if you haven't gone into the app store on your mac and updated to the maverick then it doesn't work to open

 

tell me when you find a fix i really need help on that

 

Delete the hidden .DS_Store file in the player folder.
