Hi,

I recently bought Total Annihilation in the Insomnia sale. I downloaded it and put it on my desktop, no problems, but when I try to open it and start a new Skirmish game against AI, I have two major problems. The first is that there are some weird black lines on what looks like every other row in cutscenes (such as the intro) and in loading screens. It also tends to cut off like half the screen. Going into the Wineskin settings and setting it to a virtual desktop or regular windows does not fix this.

The bigger problem is that I cannot start a new Skirmish game, as the title implies. If I try to, I get a message saying that TotalA.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have tried it several times, to no success. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I should mention - I have also tried downloading the .dmg again and reinstalling the game, to no avail.
I have also tried changing the engine in Wineskin, which just stops it from opening.

I am having the same problem. This is the bug report:

It worked for me

Hey any word on how to fix this problem, htown's link comes up as a 404, any other ideas?

Try this: Mac version.

That's also the name of the thread.

hey!
i had same problem on my 13inch macpro, what you gotta do is change the resolution in the option menu, from 480p to highest, and it'll work fine!

Thanks for this answer. Worked for me.
