RE: Overture doesn't work (Penumbra Collection) - jens - 07-17-2009
Could you try this for Overture: in Overture/ move the Penumbra.app out of the folder and then in again and see if that removed the error about "damaged or incomplete". Sounds strange but I managed to reproduce the problem with Requiem.app and then doing this solved it. I have no clue as to why.

I seem to have broken Black Plague now as well after trying that. I'll wipe my install and start over...

Hi,
it works, but i have to do it with each of the three games. So far so good. Everytime i chance the game, i have to start the procedure again.

Worked for me as well. I believe that due this dmg stuff, the application forgot where it is. I'm sure you're determining in the code the working directory to load all the textures. If for some reason this is wrong, it fails to load the textures. Moving the app around may make the app aware where it is. However, I hope you'll find a "real" solution soon.
Thanks!

A me too.
I was unable to launch the game with the collection launcher.
The following messages are displayed in the console

Then I tried to start Overture.app and got the message that there might be something wrong with the game. On advise in this thread I moved Penumbra.app and I was able to play the game. Till I got to the car battery and got a black screen.
First thing I did was download the latest Mac Patch and installed it, directly after that I found the solution to my black screen problem ->
Described here. In this thread there is a workaround so I wanted to launch the game again. I get the message that the game is damaged. So I move Penumbra.app again and launch the game. This time it asks me for my serial, I enter it again but this time it is not recognized! I can see the collectionkey file in my library and it has the correct key.
So I start Black Plague.app, same "game is damaged" message, move the app, and again the game asks me for the serial, and this time it is accepted! Great, I exit Black Plague and start OverTure. And it asks me for my serial again!
So it looks like the mac patch doesn't like the collection serial I received today.
I'm going to re-install and not install the patch and see how it works.
Great game! I hope these glitches get fixed because I'm hooked.
RE: Overture doesn't work (Penumbra Collection) - Urkle - 07-17-2009
Patch??? what patch are you talking about?
The Collection includes the LASTEST fixes for all 3 games, so no patch should be needed at all.
I just re-downloaded the collection (from the same servers as all of you) so I can try and recreate these odd issues.
More to follow.

Maybe good to mention is that my file system is case-sensitive. Not sure if this is a problem for this game but some apps don't like that at all.

Tried that and it didn't work. Anything else to try?
RE: Overture doesn't work (Penumbra Collection) - msp301 - 07-17-2009
Hey,
I've just bought the Penumbra Collection today, installed on my Mac (10.5.7) and I had the same problem of the Overture game not starting ... It now works after navigating to "/Applications/Penumbra Collection/Overture" and dragging the Penumbra.app to my Desktop and then dropping it back again, then after double-clicking to launch the .app, I am asked if i want to launch this downloaded program, say yes and the game starts ... If this isn't working for you, possibly try uninstalling the game collection entirely and then following these steps again to see if it makes a difference ... hope that helps
