Hi there,

Just downloaded this great game through HIB, but as soon as I launch it fullscreen, it crashes.

I have Mac OSX Lion, I tried different resolutions, even changing settings.ini but no luck.
This is the crash log:

Thank you

just updated, but it keeps crashing as soon as I tap alt+enter, after going to black screen :/

I've never messed with Allegro, but googling the last call in Thread 3's stack lead me to this thread: http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/607882

It seems to indicate that Apple has removed some deprecated APIs related to software rendering (rendering with the CPU like CC does) and thus, completely broken fullscreen in anything that uses Allegro 4. Right now it seems like the only thing that could fix this would be for Data to update to Allegro 5, which might be difficult. (As in, total rendering system rewrite.) Whether or not he actually does is up to him, but I really do encourage him to take the time to do so.

In fact, I'd be willing to volunteer for the task if he wanted.

Still present in B27
