[0.12.19] El Capitan Launch Crash

[cjburkey01]

So, I just purchased this game, and I went to run it, and after it asked me if I wished to run it(because it was a downloaded application), it threw the Mac error report box. This was a clean install on OS 10.11.1. If you want to see the error, just ask.

O.K., I found the issue, and it's actually something dumb. I was trying to run the game through a Steam shortcut, and that causing the crash, I'll submit a bug report.

I updated Factorio to 0.12.19 from 0.12.17 on Mac OSX elCapitan.
Factorio refused to restart with an error '-10810'

It turned out that execute permission was not set on /Applications/factorio.app/Contents/MacOS/factorio after the update.

I had to use an xterm and run the command

Code: Select all

chmod +x /Applications/factorio.app/Contents/MacOS/factorio

then all was fine.

Maybe there was a GUI tool I could have used but I am a long time GNU/Linux user and am more familiar with unix tools than OSX GUI.
