O.K. so I've made a new thread about... well, practically the same problem.
But since my other thread is pretty dead, I guessed posting there wouldn't get
any attention (I'm sorry for the person who has clean up though... :nervous: ).

Well, down to business:
I've been downloading REARM 3c and managed to get it working up until I wanted to load a "player vs cpu" match,
now all the menus being stuff like $2875 doesn't really matter, I can get around that, but every time I load the
game I always get the "unexpectedly quite" thing (always at loading universe or loading level data, I've tried
starting on smaller maps, starting with fewer races or resources etc etc... nothing works).

So I've been doing some searching and found out that REARM 3b is supposed to work on a Mac (&%$$#@ forgot the name of user!)
Well... it doesn't work on mine... actually I don't even come as far as the menu (I open the game with iTerm, you get the
usual wight screen when Homeworld is checking its files... and that's where it unexpectedly quites).

Can any Mac user please tell what to do to make it work, so far any mod that I tried has the above or the below problem...

Ask in the main page comments, you've got much better chance there.

So McB. you say it is actually possible to have the localized text on Macs? That's very interesting.

And the big bug with Kadeshi and Vaygr means a crash on map loading?

Alright...... looking into it......

Nope, sorry; ultimately no difference, all the same.
I'm trying to get a wrapper for the windows version of Homeworld.... many wrappers out there.... just none for Tiger..
