The Mac release has a few limitations compared to the PC release. Before reporting a problem, make sure you are using the latest patched Oni application, and check out the following pages for more info: | |||
*[[Oni engine patches (Mac)]] (patches made by the community) | |||
*[[Installation#Patches]] (for OmniGroup's port of Oni to Mac OS X) | |||
*[[PC vs Mac|PC vs Macs]] (list of PC-only features missing from the Mac build) | |||

In one reported case, the reason for the crash was that Oni was set to a 640x480 resolution. | 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 | Running a Carbon app in the background has been observed to fix this problem. If the app uses the CPU fairly heavily, it essentially begins to handle the CPU usage for other Carbon apps (like Oni!) more intelligently. [http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9830 This app] works well if you simply leave it open in the background while playing Oni. | ||

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. | 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. | ||
'''I can't see the console in Developer Mode.''' | |||
A bug in Oni causes the text on the console line to not display in certain resolutions, although the console prompt is still there; commands can still be entered and executed. If you aren't seeing the console prompt after pressing the ~ (tilde) key (and you are definitely using the patched Mac app that enables Dev Mode), you should try a different resolution. | |||

Classic Mode does not support the Input Sprockets functionality that the app is trying to use. Download the OmniGroup port, linked to below, for use with OS X. | ||
