When I open the application, I choose the settings and click go and then the application immediately closes. Im using a MacBook Pro and downloaded the correct software. What do I do?

It should have dumped an error log file into the mythruna directory (not sure exactly where on a Mac).

The file will look like error-12345678.log where 12345678 is a unique number.

It depends on what is wrong.  The application writes an error log somewhere in the mythruna directory.  I don't know where this ends up on Macs because I'm a Mac pre-noob.

It would look like error-1234567.log with 1234567 being a unique number.

There is a file written to disk somewhere.  Either you will have a client.log or you will have a client.log and an error-1234567.log.

If the game couldn't write these files then it wouldn't work at all because it wouldn't be able to create the database.

I have absolutely no clue how to navigate the Mac file system to find them.  I know zero about the working of the Mac OS user interface.

I dont think it created the database because i searched the entire computor. also it would have asked me if i wanted to grant the software permission to do that which it didn't. I've tried re downloading it and the result was that now the newer version doesnt even open.

It never get to the point where it would have created the "mythruna.db" database directory anyway.

It should have created a client.log at minimum.  The next version will terminate with an error when it can't create a client.log file.

Some Mac users can run just fine.  It's some kind of error specific to your version or hardware maybe.  Other Mac users have also been able to tell me what's in the error log before (though I don't know how).

There is some LWJGL bug with certain versions of Mac OS but I don't know details.  I'm waiting for a new LWJGL release to fix that one.

This is where Bob comes in.

Right click mythruna , click show packets , go in to contents/resources/java and you should fine it there Tongue
I myself got 6x client logs in there.

Try starting the game with clicking Mythruna-20120308.jar.Should be able to work.

6 is where is maxes out.  It keeps backups of the last 5 logs.

Except I think it is then started without the proper memory settings... so eventually you'll crash from "OutOfMemory" errors.  And it shouldn't change whether it runs or not.  Any problems should happen no matter how you run it.
