Also.. try going into your "[HOME]/Library/Frictional Games/HPL2/" folder and remove the Temp and Thumbnails folders.

Will do for now on.

and just to clear up about the temp and thumbnails: there was no /frictional games/hpl2/ in the library folder, but i found them in in /library/application support/

Thank you very much for these quick responses.

Can you zip up a copy of that map file ?

OK.. I have got it to crash:-D

a *workaround* is to move your mouse to the "right" a little so the tooltip doesn't show up.. then it won't crash.

Here is a smaller video of the crash.. showing exactly where those "tooltips" came from.

I'm looking further into the issue and poking the guy who mostly wrote the level editor as well.

Oh wow, yeah I noticed that before, the tooltips would show up.
Never occured to me that could be the reason for the crash :O

Thanks for posting that video and explanation, for the time being this should help me understand where the crashes are coming from and how to avoid them. Smile

Ok.. I've found the issue, and have a fix.. Just testing a wee bit more.. and fixing another issue I found real quick.. I'll have an update most likely by tomorrow.

A new patch has been released that fixes this issue.. You can download it from the Tools wiki.
