Mac Killing Floor Won't Start

[vuLgAr]

here is the console log

http://sprunge.us/AEEh

and the killingfloor.log

http://sprunge.us/HERP

the following things i have tried, verify cache, remove ini files, re-install killing floor, reinstall steam, reinstall os x.

none of which solved killing floor not starting. installed windows 7 on the same machine "macbook pro 7,1" and it runs fine.

Joining a game by selecting a friend in steam and hitting join game, killing floor starts and plays normally. Still this is the only way i have found in which i can launch the game which isn't really helpful if nobody i know is playing on a server with free spots.

Same issue here, brand new installation of everything including OS.

It worked fine a few days ago on my old installation, but had to wipe/rebuild computer

[Edit] your work-around works here as well, thanks!

Similar problem. Worked fine yesterday.

Clicking the game icon (double-, right-) and game prepares to launch only to stop.

Verified cache and re-installed. Still won't fully launch.

Have not tried work-around.

Mac specs:
OS 10.6.8
processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
memory: 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
graphics: ATI,RadeonHD2600

Still won't work even after title update 1036. The title screen appears for 2 seconds, disappears and the game doesn't launch.

Anyone else on Mac have this problem?

 

[CiscoWong]

Alright, found a solution. This worked for me, hopefully it will work for others.
Renamed the ClientRegistry.blob to ClientRegistryOld.blob and restarted Steam (creates new one).

Full instructions are at the link below.

The "solution" does not seem to be working for me, any other ideas?

 

[CiscoWong]

The ClientRegistry.blob solution worked until today. Won't work anymore and back to the same problem -- click on KF to start, title screen comes up and then disappears after a few seconds, game doesn't launch.

Out of ideas at this point.

I've made another thread to combat all this absence of communication between Tripwire and it's customers. Go put your complaint there as well, the more complaints the more will be done.

Exact same problem and logs here. Game worked fine in the past but after I updated to play this week, I can't get past the initial splash screen.

MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

My solution:
I deleted the Defense Alliance 2 files and the core game re-download the now-missing files it needed. Problem solved - I can play again

Frankly, I don't even know why the mod got downloaded to begin with, but it seems to the at the root of the issue in my case.

Good luck!

I uninstalled KF, then quit Steam, did the ClientRegistry.blob trick, relaunched steam, reinstalled KF and validated its integrity...

and now it works.

(I had uninstalled the Defense Alliance Mod well before doing this)

 

[CiscoWong]

And now it doesn't.

Every time I relaunch Steam, KF suddenly doesn't work anymore. I would hate to have to uninstall KF and re-install it every time I launch Steam to play KF. What a pain in the ***!

At everyone:

Could you, please, post the version of your mac os X, mods on KF and games on steam?

I just have portal 2 and kf with no mod (apparently) and Mac OS X 10.7.3. I haven't updated to 10.7.4 yet, but I think KF crashes on start only on 10.7.4.

Also the only 'system mod' I did to my KF was to solve the cache thing mentioned here so you might want to try it: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=48642

So far my KF has not given me any troubles and the summer event works fine since first day avaiable. I also was able to unlock Mr. Foster.

I have the same problem, OS X version 10.7.4
Can't launch the game as usual since the upgrade.
Reinstalled Steam, KF, removed preferences, etc.

The only way to play is to join a friends game. And for that, I need a friend online that is actually playing in a not full server....
I suspect that the problem is Steam related, as I can launch the game from the Finder. Of course, I can't connect to Steam that way, so it does not make much sense...

I hope somebody will come up with something, but I guess it's up to Steam or Tripwire to find something, as complete reinstall does not help (at least for me).

 

[CiscoWong]

I'm wondering if it's Steam or my router. When I unplug and replug my router KF is able to launch past the startup screen and I'm able to join multi and play solo.

Anyway this is 10.6.8

Have L4D, L4D2, Orange Box (HL2, HL2 ep 1 & 2, Portal, TF2), Trine, Trine 2, Walking Dead, Civ 5, Tidalis, Bejeweled 2 Dlx

Okay, this is getting a little tedious. I'm on mac OS X version 10.6.8, and it was working fine (if you disregard the unknown steam error bug) until now.

I got it to run fine this morning, played a bit of solo. But now, just 2 hours later, it suddenly refuses to work. I get the title screen for about 3 seconds, then it just quits. Not even an error message to report.

I used to really love this game, but now it won't even launch? This is utterly ridiculous. It needs to be fixed ASAP.

EDIT: I found a workaround! this guy seems to have figured it out!

In the launch options (Properties -> Set Launch Options), put "-window" in without quotes and it should work again. That's what happened to me, I used to play windowed and for some reason the launch option became needed for the app to not blow itself up.
