Game hangs in About Screen

pickett · 06-08-2009, 05:54 PM

I was reporting a bug in a previous thread. I used the OOTP10 menu option 'About' to look for the game version number.

It displays the About screen (but no version info!) however the game has now hung.

The UI is inoperable, the scrollbar doesn't work, nor does any of the in-game buttons or menus.

Looking at Activity Monitor I can see the OOTP10 process constantly using between 95%-100% of one my cores.

My system is a Core Duo 2 MacBook Pro 2.4GHz, with 4GB of RAM, running OSX 10.5.7 (fully updated)

I've had to force quit the app to get it to close and, hence, have lost all my season progress for a second time.

Hi,

Would it be possible to get a screenshot posted of what the About box looks like as on my PC version it looks fine and has an OK button that can be clicked and the version number.

Whereabouts in Berkshire are you from? I was born and brought up just outside Maidenhead.

Attached. This problem seems to be reproducable as I just opened OOTP10, clicked 'About' and now I see one of my cores ramped up to 100%.

I don't see any 'Ok' button. None of the in-game controls are clickable. However (and I don't think this was the case last time) I was able to use the menu and select Quit, say yes, and exit the program normally.

Snap, I'm living in Maidenhead, not far from the Altwood School if you know where that is. Moved here a couple of years ago for a job and my Dad, and some friends, live nearby so I hung around.

You can always elect to go to Game, OOTP Main Screen (or Opening Screen), geez memory is bad tonight, and the version will be in the upper left corner. You can return to your game simply by clicking the Continue without delay.

Are you still having trouble when using version 10.2.16?
