'''Oni crashes on my G5 Mac.'''
'''Oni crashes on my G5 Mac.'''


In one reported case, the reason for the crash was that Oni was set to a 640x480 resolution.  Changing it to a higher resolution solved the problem.  
In one reported case, the reason for the crash was that Oni was set to a 640x480 resolution.  Changing it to a higher resolution solved the problem. If Oni is trying to use an unsupported video setting, make sure your Display preferences do not list unsupported resolutions or refresh rates. DisplayConfigX can be used to disable the unsupported resolutions on your system. Finally, Oni can be run in windowed mode, which means that no resolution switching will occur. See [[Customizing#noswitch|-noswitch]].

Running a Carbon app in the background has been observed to fix this problem. The app doesn't need to do anything; you can just leave it open and then open Oni. If you don't know what a Carbon app is or if you have one, just download this one, it worked for [[User:Iritscen|one Mac user]]: [http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9830 0SEx].

<!--''There was an interesting comment on the Apple discussions board dated Sep 11, 2006 that a Universal Binary (compatible with IntelMacs) of Oni will be out soon...''-->
'''The sound has small glitches.'''
<!--commented out the above; it's interesting, but what is it based on?-->


'''Other issues'''
This is mostly unavoidable; however, if you try the above solution (running a Carbon app in the background), and it reduces the number or size of the glitches, please let us know; there is some evidence that a Mac with the above problem will also experience large sound glitches until the "Carbon fix" is applied.
 
'''Known control issue'''


In Mac OS X the character cannot fully turn or rotate around. Its like the mouse tracking has hit a boundary or the edge of the screen.

According to Feral: "Mac OS X does not support Input Sprockets, which Oni needs. Run Oni in "Classic" mode to avoid this problem. Alternatively, download the [http://www.omnigroup.com/games/oni/ OmniGroup's Oni port] and try your luck with that."
