Hello! (:

First, I'm sorry for my english. I give my very best (:

My problem is that R.E.A.R.M. crashes after loading. My Homeworld version is 1.1.1. My starting "procedure" is:

Open the Terminal
Drag and Drop the HW2 Icon into the Terminal (not the Icon in the Homeworld 2 folder ... the icon behind the icon ... oh man ... how should i explain. Right click on the icon ---> "show content" and then ---> Contents ---> MACOS ---> this icon!) >.<
Then I type in the terminal "-mod rearm0.0.3b.big -locale german" the full "sentence" is like this: gedankenfalle:~ gedankenfalle$ /Applications/Homeworld\ 2/Homeworld\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS/Homeworld\ 2 -mod rearm0.0.3b.big -locale german

The launcher appears, play game
the picture in the background is the right one the a start a skirmish game and when its finished with loading it is crashing.

I try it with "-locale english" same problem. I reupdate Homeworld 2 same problem. The mystery for me is ... the HW2 Mod "Complex" works without any problems. Some Mods are working, some crashs after loading.

Maybe you can help me ...

Greetings from Germany!

Yes. It's caused by the new menu options. To be absolutelly honest I won't be able to fix most of the new scripts, I'm not a coder and I really can't make the scripts to work on Mac, more because I don't have any acces to Mac machine.

But there will be a new Game Type, called Mac Compatibility Mode, which allows you to play without any problems. Unfortunatelly it will look more like the normal HW2 menu, you won't have factions, nor Explosion damage or RU injections. But you will of course have all the REARM ships, you can only play more or less the normall deathmatch with them.
