Hello,

I'll check back with our support regarding High Sierra, but the system requirements for Deponia Doomsday state clearly that a dedicated graphics card is required. Your system only uses the IntelHD graphics chip, which is unfortunately not sufficient to run the game.

Best regards,
Galdring

Edit: Support wanted me to check and ask if you are using a Retail version (physical copy) of the game. Regardless of not meeting the system requirements, there seems to be an issue with High Sierra at the moment.

Hello, same here
After upgrading to High Sierra the game is not launching anymore.
Worked perfect under Maverick & Sierra (all Deponia titles).
I am using the Steam version.
Error message from the log:

Had something similar occur to me with the Steam Version. Fixed it by performing the following steps:

1.) Launch Terminal
2.) cd to the Deponia Doomsday installation directory. Could be in /Applications, or in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam Apps/Deponia Doomsday if installed via steam.
3.) Run the following 2 commands:

Code: Alles auswählen

cd Deponia\ Doomsday.app/Contents/Frameworks
cp /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib .


4.) Restart the the app.

It's happening to me as well. Just installed the game today via Steam.
I'm using a MacBook Pro (15 inch, mid 2015) with a discrete AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 GB running High Sierra.

Hi!

If you press "Report" and see a line that says "Symbol not found: _inflateValidate" it's the same bug I encountered. It's due to the zlib version being different from that expected by the version of IOKit framework in High Sierra.

I'm sure Dadedalic are already on it, but I did this as a temporary fix and have played for six hours with nothing but a few minor graphical glitches, (nothing game breaking):

1. I made a backup of the "Deponia Doomsday" binary, located under my steam library folder

Code: Alles auswählen

/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Deponia Doomsday/Deponia Doomsday.app/Contents/MacOS

2. I opened a terminal window and wrote

Code: Alles auswählen

cd /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Deponia Doomsday/Deponia Doomsday.app/Contents/MacOS

3. I looked at what dynamic libraries the application uses with "otool -L Deponia\ Doomsday". You see that it loads its own zlib:

Code: Alles auswählen

@executable_path/../Frameworks/libz.1.dylib

4. I replaced this with the system libz.1.dylib located under

Code: Alles auswählen

/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib

using the following command:

Code: Alles auswählen

install_name_tool -change @executable_path/../Frameworks/libz.1.dylib /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib Deponia\ Doomsday

5. I looked at what dynamic libraries the application uses again with "otool -L Deponia\ Doomsday" to verify the change took effect.

Hope that helps! Oh and thanks Dadedalic for the sweet game!

Hello to all of you,

sorry for the delay. We are aware of problems regarding MacOS High Sierra and are working on a fix, please be patient. I will forward this to our devs, so many thanks for all your info!

UPDATE: There is a Steam Patch that should fix those problems, have you updated to the latest version yet?
