[Mac] Myst IV Universal Installer | Forums

[Gannet7]

Hi OldTim,

I haven't had any crashes at that point myself, though I have sometimes had a crash while working the electromagnets to control the height of the ship. Does it consistently crash for you at that point? I'll PM you with my email address so you can send me a save.

3 or 4 times in a row then I gave up. BTW I am running 10.6.5 on a last generation matte screen iMac.

Hey, Gannet7:

You da man (or woman or hermaphrodite; it's all good)! Thanks for your hard work on Myst IV/Snow Leopard. I'm looking forward to finishing this game once and for all.

People always compliment me on my computer skills, but I just simply know my way around the basic stuff. I stand in awe of people like you, who can actually do something with code. Thanks again for the help.

Matt

Cheers, Matt. Man is correct

I've been in touch with OldTim but sadly it doesn't look like there's any solution for him. Hopefully most people won't have this problem.

I am running into the same problem as joga_de, the program loads fine and I don't any error message, but when I attempt to run the screen resizes for a second then the program quits.
Is there a fix for this?

EDIT: I reinstalled, and am getting this message:
"The document "Myst IV Revelation" could not be opened. System Events cannot open files in the "application" format."
I have no idea what this means, to be frank.

Hi Reelah,
That error message you get isn't important, it's just a random error that sometimes happens after installing that I didn't work out how to completely avoid.

As for the game not running, what size is the installed app? If it's smaller than 7.5 GB, post a file listing of your discs as per the instructions I posted to joga_de above.

The app size is 7.5 GB. I am running on a 2.53GHz MacBook Pro.
Thank you for the help!

Okay, open Terminal and paste this command (assuming you installed to the Applications folder):
/Applications/Myst\ IV\ Revelation/Contents/MacOS/cider
This will simply run the game from within Terminal and print out error messages which you can post back here. There will be a bunch of errors which are normal but hopefully there will be something abnormal too.
Does the screen go black for a moment when you run it?

These are the errors I get:

The screen does go black for a moment.

Okay, all of that is just the normal stuff. What is your system version? What language are you using?
Try a complete file listing of the app:
ls -lR /Users/Reelah/Desktop/Myst\ IV\ Revelation.app
