I did not play this game in years, but my daughter got excited and I wanted to start the game for her.
No luck, I get into this menu where I can log in but no further, the menu just dissapears and I have to force quit.
Once or twice I got to the diamond thingy but it also stopped after that and I again had to force quit.
I deinstalled and reinstalled, same issues. Then started googeling and deinstalled while also deleting all the cache, preference etc files.
Reinstalled and used a 'super patch' I found online. Same result, very frustrating!
I used an original DVD with verification code.
Did you get rid of all the files?
Uninstall again then install just the base game, manually patch it to 1.67, then load and see if it works. Don't bother trying to install the EP until you have the base game working.
Thank you for your input. I did a clean uninstall and followed that post you linked.
Will try to just install the base game and get back to you after 🙂
It didn't work... It shows the starting screen, I can hit the play-button but after that it gets stuck ☹️
Force quit again!
Hmm, very weird!
Can you please set up a new administrator account on your Mac and try and play/install in that account?
Will do, thanks!
