It shouldn't matter, as the engine code does handle case sensitivity internally (ie.. finding the correct case) as this is the same code that runs on linux which is always case sensitive.

Tried that and it didn't work. Anything else to try?

Try again to move the app to a different place. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. It's also like that, that it works a time, and after some start I have the same problem again. But moving solves it also again.

Tried this and it works intermittently. Thanks for the encouragement.

Tried this and, after a couple of reboots, it may have fixed it for 'Overture'. It seems to come up consistently now, but the others still require copying the *.app file out and back again.

From what I've seen, this is a pretty cool game, but it's the first Mac app that's caused me problems. Even X11 on 10.4 didn't give me this much trouble. It's been my experience that Macs just work as do the apps I've installed. What happened? How will it be fixed?
