Hello,

When I install the base game on my MBP, all is good. Once I install the additional content, I can't start the game anymore.

Any idea?
Have you found any solutions?

I'm also having major issues on a MBP, though with the base game. I have not installed the DLC.

I crash to the desktop within a minute of either starting a game or attempting the tutorial. When trying the tutorial, it is always in the same place, just past those first jellies.

I reinstalled with the new Item Vault .dmg released yesterday and it happens in the exact same place. Completely unplayable; will have to send a ticket.
i have a macbook air, with yosemite, and i cant get the game to even give me a window, it closes right after launching.
i am running it on a case sensitive partition, so i am guessing that this is what is causing the problem, just like many other games that are developed originally on windows platforms.
i have not contacted gog yet, nor have i contacted the developer yet.

also, i am not trying to use the dlc, just the main game.

I had the same issue with the game crashing after installing the DLC (base game was working fine, after DLC installation I always got an error message about not being able to initialize the image).

I think I figured out a workaround to get the DLC running:

1) Go to your "Applications" folder (or where ever you installed the game WITH the DLC)

2) Right click (or "Option/alt"-Click) on the "Tales of May'Eyal" application and select the "Show Content" command from the pop-up menu

3) You should now see a folder called "Contents" in your Finder window. Navigate your way through the folder structure by clicking on the following folders in order: "Content" -> "Resources" -> "game" -> "game" -> "addons". (Yes there is a second folder called "game" in the game folder)

4) Look for the file called "ashes-urhrok.teaac" in the final "addons" folder and copy it somewhere else (e.g. drag it to the Desktop while holding the "option/alt" key).

5) Go back to your "Applications" folder (or where ever your "Tales of Maj'Eyal" application is located.

6) Delete now the "Tales of Maj'Eyal" application (Move to Trash -> Empty Trash"

7) Reinstall the base game from the DMG file (Open DMG file -> drag application icon to your "Applications" folder or where ever you wish)

8) Right click on the new base-game only "Tales of Maj'Eyal" application and choose "Show Content"

9) Navigate again through the folders as in point 3: "Content" -> "Resources" -> "game" -> "game" -> "addons".

10) Copy or move the file called "ashes-urhrok.teaac" into the "addons" folder and go back to your "Applications" folder

11) Start game. You should now be greeted by a different main menu background and a pop-up box that thanks you for buying the DLC and explains how to start the DLC content.

I have started a new character in the DLC and everything seems to be working properly. However, I have not played for very long (ca. 1 h), so there might be some issues that I am not aware of.

This workaround will not work if the base game is already crashing. As this is another issue
Thanks all,

I ended up deleting everything and reinstalling and surprisingly it's now working for me.

One thing that may throw things off is that I had an old version of this game downloaded either from steam or the dev, Can't remember for sure. Anyway, after deleting everything related to Maj'Eyal and reinstalling, everything seems fine.

Cheers!
