Hi
I'm experiencing strange problems with Rise of Nations on my iMac G5
revB
running Mac OS X 10.4.2.
In the menu screen after the title screen I get white rectangles
underneath
the menu items. While this is (very) annoying I can still navigate the
menus
so it is only a display problem. But then, when I try to start any game
I
get lots of errors display in pretty stupid error message boxes (The
error
message talks about ignoring or aborting, yet the dialog only shows a
single
OK button.) and finally the application crashes.
I suspected a faulty OpenGL driver so I did a complete reinstall of Mac
OS X
10.4 and applied all updates that were available as of yesterday. Still
the
problem persisted.
So this is either a bug somewhere in Rise of Nations (Though it's far
from
the only game that won't run... the included Nanosaur 2 as well as the
Myst
V Demo won't run either) or Apple broke something in one of the
updates.
The strange thing is that Unreal Tournament 2004 runs without a glitch
on
the very same setup.
Does anyone else have such problems or does anyone have any ideas what
else I could try?
Does anyone know who ****ted it? I know Brad Oliver used to hang out in
these forums helping people with Alpha Centauri problems back in the
days. Maybe the developer who ****ted Rise of Nations is also as
helpful.
Best regards,
Sacha
