I get an orange screen crash on startup, anyone know a fix?

I know jack #$#$ about Macs, but I i think i updated the video drivers correctly… as I found these “unsafes” in etconfig

Orange usually means that ET can’t find textures (and replaces them with default the orange ones with black stripes). My guess is, that you somehow broke the files (incomplete download?) or that ET can’t access the files (user rights?).

Thanks Ragnar for your input.

It is indeed a user’s rights issue, root privelages is needed to play on Mac.

Cheers.

Do you meen root or admin ? I don’t recall root being required, since it isn’t even enabled by default on OSX. Don’t think I ever tried without admin…

Probably is just admin, but I’m not that familiar with Macs…

As far as I could tell from looking at the system preferences and user accounts the user (the only user account on the mac) I was logged in as had administrative privileges.
