unplayable game on my new build

[peterallenn]

Hey, I recently bought Rome total war from the app store, downloaded it and then installed it to my applications folder. I try to start it up and get:

"Rome Total War quit unexpectedly"

I'm not sure why its happening as I did do a little search on google but it seemed there wasnt anyone who has had this problem, so I thought i'd post it up on here!

Hope you can help
Thanks

It may happen because of graphic problem Hack get full acceleration of ur graphic card? Use OPEN GL viewer, Uniengine or Luxmark to check.

I am looking at openGL extensions viewer now..

I cant seem to find anything about acceleration, where abouts should I be looking to?

Thanks for the reply

Actually I did just find this:

can anyone help?

Do u apply ati 48xx patch for your version of osx , do u get full resolutionn on ur monitor,card name and correct memmory in system profile, That is from Apple menu, OGL Viewer correctly display the name and Tottal V ram of ur card and also confirm that ur system meets the minimum power taht game needs.processor , mammory etc....

 

[peterallenn]

yep I did install that patch

Yes, my resolution is what should be (1680x1050)

My video card's name is a ATI Radeon 4870 1gb and it says it is an ATI Radeon 4800 with 1gb memory

My computer should play this game with no problems

( I usually play call of duty 4, it is a little more laggy than on my windows pc but it still plays decent )

App store cames are famous for not working.

Do you have a proper framebuffer set on your smbios.plist?

Also, please verify your system if a proper framebuffer has been setup.. fire up your terminal and run this command:

ioreg | grep ATY

You should come up with a result like this below:
Yhengs-Mac-Pro:~ yheng$ ioreg | grep ATY
| | | | +-o ATY,Flicker@0 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000255, registered, matched, acti$
| | | | | +-o ATY_Flicker <class ATIFramebuffer, id 0x10000027e, registered, matched,$
| | | | +-o ATY,Flicker@1 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000256, registered, matched, acti$
| | | | | +-o ATY_Flicker <class ATIFramebuffer, id 0x10000028b, registered, matched,$
| | | | +-o ATY,Flicker@2 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000257, registered, matched, acti$
| | | | | +-o ATY_Flicker <class ATIFramebuffer, id 0x100000291, registered, matched,$

Side note: 'Flicker' is my chosen framebuffer, I've been playing Left4dead2 and CSS without lag and in high res. mode.
