Description zak_schneider 2012-06-05 02:53:15 EDT
After I complete the first section of the game inside the camp counselor's head (the army themed level), I get to a cut scene where he takes me out and I walk off, immediately following, the game crashes. I have repeated this many times, and even skipped the cut scene, but no dice.

This patch should fix this specific problem:

  http://treefort.icculus.org/psychonauts/psychonauts-mac-0.2-patch.tar.bz2

Download, double-click to unpack, and run the patch program that should pop out. If you're playing the game on Steam, it already has this patch included.

Note that this patch also adds FSAA support...if you find the game is way slower than it was before, that's why. You can turn that off in the Display Options menu in-game if it's causing you problems (there's a checkbox that reads "FSAA").

(I'm adding this comment to many bugs that this fix might apply to...sorry if you see it multiple times or it doesn't _actually_ fix your issue.)

Here is a new test build, please try it and report back. It's a 2.1 megabyte
download, so you don't have to redownload the whole game again.

This is meant to fix crash bugs mostly. We still have rendering issues, etc to sort out. If this didn't fix your issue, please report it on this bug. If there are still other unrelated issues, please file a new bug or add yourself to the CC list of one of the other bugs. Here's the open bug list if you want to check for others with the same problem:

    https://bugzilla.icculus.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&bug_status=__open__&product=Psychonauts

Steam users: you'll get this through Steam shortly.

Linux users, download this...

  http://treefort.icculus.org/psychonauts/psychonauts-linux-0.3-patch.tar.bz2

...and unpack it. Overwrite Psychonauts and libSDL-1.2.so.0 with it. This works with either of the first two builds from HumbleBundle.com.

Mac users that aren't using Steam, download this...

  http://treefort.icculus.org/psychonauts/psychonauts-mac-0.3-patch.tar.bz2

...double click it, and run the patcher program it produces.

We'll do a more formal build once we get some feedback.
