Playing OpenTTD on Leopard (OS 10.5) works nicely, but the exact same gamefiles on Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) do not work.

I should also say that my 10.5 machine is an old PowerBook, while the 10.6 machine is a Macbook Pro (not the newest kind, just an 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).

I am no monitor calibration expert, but I think I have calibrated the monitor in the Screen settings panel, because my screen color profile says "Color-LCD calibrated".

Seems like some other people are also having the same issue here: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44479

Btw I have tried both 0.72 and Trunk versions of Open TTD, without luck.
I copied the gamefiles folder from one machine, where they were working, to the other, where they did not work, so I am certain the data files are there.

Try changing the blitter to one of the 32 bpp blitters; probably it's "hardcoded" to a 8 bpp blitter in your config file.

Besides that, there is no official support for OS X 10.6.

Small problem there... I am actually yet to locate the cfg-file. It is neither in my OpenTTD folder, in my Documents folder, or any of their subfolders.

On the bright side of things: After restarting my computer, the game now works! Yay!

I tried to reproduce this error by calibrating my monitor here but didn't run into this issue. But maybe the difference lies in the fact that mine is a macbook (on-board graphics) vs. a macbook pro (dedicated graphics card).

This seems to be a spurious OS problem. Probably nothing OpenTTD can do about.

I did some research and it seems like TTD isn't the only project having problems like this – CMGetSystemProfile has been unreliable under Leopard and Snow Leopard for whatever reason. What this patch does is attempt to get the default colorspace if getting the system profile fails. Theoretically this will allow the app to run regardless.

As an aside, I think the colorspace thing definitely has to do with the graphics card - I was receiving the error on my MBP with the onboard card enabled, but when I switched to the dedicated card it went away.

The patch does seem to make sense to me, but without having encountered the error myself, that's all I can say.

michi_cc closed the ticket.

Reason for closing: Fixed

(hopefully) in r18573. If that still fails, we are probably out of luck.
