OOTP 15 patch Mac version 15.6.29 released - fixes OSX 10.9.5 problem!

Markus Heinsohn · 09-18-2014, 02:53 PM

Hey guys,

Apple today released an update for Mac OSX, version 10.9.5 ... unfortunately, this screwed up the eSellerate engine and hence OOTP 15 acts as if it is unlicensed when launched in the new OSX version. So, we hurried up and built a quick fix using the most current beta version of the game, 15.6.31. This version now works on the beta of Mac OSX Yosemite as well.

Important: This update is only for OOTP 15 Mac versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version. It is NOT compatible with Steam or the Mac OSX AppStore version! These versions did not have the licensing problem to begin with.

Update Info: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Download link for Mac:
Main Server: OOTP version 15.6.31 Mac OS X Installer

The beta patch also contains all other current fixes of the upcoming maintenance patch and some AI improvements.

The official release for this patch for all platforms will probably be sometime next week.

Cheers!
Markus

Seriously, thanks for updating. I've been checking back each day waiting for a fix, this made my day. You guys are the best (one of the reasons I buy the game each year).

Great news! I had the issue affecting my install on Yosemite. Great work getting this out so quickly!

You guys are so cool to have jumped on this and fixed it right away. I barely had time to start hyperventilating when I checked the forums and saw you had it under control.Your service is off the charts. Thank you!

The download link in the first post no longer appears to be working. Here's a screenshot of the page I'm getting: imgur: the simple image sharer Would you be able to re-upload the file or let me know if there is another way to access it? Thanks.

Cfw828 · 09-25-2014, 06:51 PM

Been trying to download this for a little bit...is this file still up? I tried right clicking and left clicking and I'm unable to access it. By the way, thanks for updating the game quickly.

Have you tried downloading the Mac version from the game page on the site instead? I have asked Markus and Andreas about the broken link in this thread, but AFAIK, it should be the same Mac file. You can double-check the version # at the bottom of the main screen to see if it's the right one.

It was 15.5.25, which I had before I updated my Mac.

BradC · 09-25-2014, 08:50 PM

Someone brought this up on Twitter and he said it was v15.6.29 when he downloaded it from the game page, after I told him to try that link. When did you try downloading it?

AJTrenkle · 09-25-2014, 10:23 PM

The link appears to be down. I tried downloading from the main page but it was the older version that installed.

ETA for a Windows version of patch #6?

Try downloading as a file. Selecting the file takes you to another page. Downloading as starts the download. Mine is estimating 6 hours though.

Quick work. Thank you!

Cfw828 · 09-26-2014, 09:57 AM

Was able to download :-D

BradC · 09-26-2014, 01:16 PM

Andreas told me he fixed the link. The version is now 15.6.31. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Use the link at the top of this forum for the latest patch. This one isn't the most recent.
