Closed Will Starbound run on Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

I'm really sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section, but I was just wondering, I haven't found a page that lists the minimum Mac OS version you'll need in order to run Starbound.
Is Starbound going to run fine on 10.6.8 that I have, or will I finally need to update to a 10.7+ version in order to play it?
Thank you very much

 

I would love to know this as well. Thanks!

 

I want to know as well.

 

I doubt you'd need anything above 10.6 because when they started working on it 10.7 wasn't out yet if I recall correctly. (Not to mention most libraries that are cross platform seem to work on 10.6+) Not 100% certain about this, of course. But it's what I assume.

Any reason as to why you're still on 10.6 though? I thought most devices could go up to 10.7 at least? Running 10.9 myself.

Mostly because of habit I guess. My old Macbook is updateable to 10.7 and my iMac can go up to 10.9, but until the final release of Mavericks, I didn't really like what Apple had done to OS X after the holy grail that was Snow Leopard. After trying Mavericks a while ago, I was finally pleased with Apple's direction. It's just a matter of time until I get an SSD drive for the iMac and do a fresh installation of Mavericks. But for now, I'm still on Snow Leopard, which is why I'm asking.

 

Ah, that makes sense. Have to admit Apple is a bit pushy on updates at times by forcing devs into version specific calls.

 

Well, bad news for us guys.
The game seems to crash on launch for me on 10.6.8.
Doesn't even get to a black screen or anything. Just crashes on my double-click

 

Same here, this is my crash log.

Seems nearly all mac versions crash either before startup or during the logo crawl.

 

Same here, instant crash every time on 10.6.8. Though I heard some were getting better results with Mavericks. HOORAY.

Hope this is able to be addressed and people running older versions of OSX aren't shoved off a cliff

 

YELLO,
Mac OS X 10.8.5 - *UNKNOW*
Mac OS X 10.7.5 - 0x00007fff5fc01028
Mac OS X 10.6.8 - 0x00007fff5fc01028

0x00007fff5fc01028 - There's an issue with install script,
Your Mac runs a version of OS X which is lower than your project's minimum.
upgrade your version of Mac OS X,
In simple words UPDATE your software, It seems from what I read the error 0x00007fff5fc01028 only happens when soft ware is asking a higher version of Mac

I really hope we are getting this error message because of some other reason. They started this game when 10.6.8 was still the main Mac OS. My machine is old enough that an update to 10.8 would probably brick it.

 

OS X 10.8.5 Has been confirmed to work
And
OS X 10.9 Has been confirmed to work


Mac OS X 10.8.5 - *UNKNOW* But has a problem to I would suggest Updating C++

Mac OS X 10.7.5 - 0x00007fff5fc01028
Mac OS X 10.6.8 - 0x00007fff5fc01028
You all have the same problems I would say.
Btw I wish you all posted A crash dump like jameschew, Lawls, and mala. *Tumbs up*


OS X 10.9 Is the lastest version And has been confirmed to work fully,

Bug encountered :

• Impossible to use the numbers to switch objects

  Starbound ‏@StarboundGame7u
  Our programmers are hard at work on crash fixes! Report crashes
  

 

I have OSX 10.9 and when the Starbound main menu comes up, there's no menu. Just the Starbound logo and some space in the background. I've tried clicking and hitting every button on my keyboard, nothing works. Music is cool, though! Can someone please help me out?

 

Have you tryed Updating C++

 

EVERYONE!! I just readjusted the size of the screen and the menu suddenly appeared, this might work for you!!

 

didn't I typed it down... as one of the bugs and the fix next to it..

 

Hello, I'm running 1.9, and for some reason, when I press "play," it seems like the game can't execute the start-up. It will briefly say "Starbound" at the top-screen bar (which says what app you're currently on), but then just goes back to Steam.

I have tried deleting local content and reinstalling. There is no crash report.

 

same here. im running mac 1.9, i play starbound all day, but now i cant start the game, and i dont know why, simply i press "play", i see penguin logo 2 seconds and dissapear.... (sorry for my english)

 

So does OS X Mavericks 10.9 work or what? I'm wondering if I should download it or not. Because I have still yet to play Starbound.... I don't think I can wait much longer...
