Crashed_on_startup flag error

[Seric81]

I'm getting this error after attempting to change the custom data path. If anyone knows how to fix this error on Mac it would be greatly appreciated.

OOTP found that the crashed_on_startup flag is set. Obviously the game crashed when you started it last time. OOTP will reset the graphics settings to default values. You can set them back later in the Game Preferences dialog.

It would seem likely something went wrong when you were setting the custom data path. So probably need to reset that to default for now so you can at least get into the game.

Use the Mac finder to search for the following files

paths.cfg
favorite_paths.cfg
recent_paths.cfg

Delete all of these and restart OOTP. It should run without the error now.
