Penumbra doesn't open on Mavericks

[awesomealex64]

joy.. looks like I need to update SDL in the game.. Can someone try replacing the SDL framework located "inside" the game bundle (Overture.app/Contents/Frameworks/) with the 1.2.15 build from libsdl.org

I've done that just now. Launching the game now displays a yellow screen for a fraction of a second, then crashes. Note that this is the Steam version which I just bought moments ago. I'm not sure if it differs from other versions in any way.

I do get some console output between launch and crash:

Code: (Select All)

30.10.13 18:00:30,112 Penumbra[814]: CPSGetCurrentProcess(): This call is deprecated and should not be called anymore.

I'd really like to play Penumbra, so if there's any way I can help with fixing this problem, I will.


EDIT:
I checked the hpl.log and everything is fine until

Code: (Select All)

ATI Fragment Shader: 0

ERROR: Couldn't texture 'PointLight2D.bmp'
FATAL ERROR: Couldn't load PointLight2DDeleting ATI shader to 0

Seems like it's not able to load the bmp-file. Perhaps SDL_image also has to be updated? I will try that now.

EDIT: Replaced with the newest SDL_image 1.2 but the results are the same.


EDIT: Apparently that had nothing to do with the crash, replacing SDL was enough.
I found this thread (http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-2837.html) and followed the instructions there and got it to run (though with horribly distorted graphics!) by running from Terminal with the Penumbra Overture folder as my working directory. This appears to be a file path problem. The actual crash is fixed by replacing SDL with the newer version.

Hey I'm having the same problem with mavericks and tried to click on the thread you recommended but it seems to have closed or something because I keep getting a 404 error. Any chance you can mirror it? thanks!
