Hi,
I sent a mail about this in December 11, 2011 but there wasn't any response nor updates for the game, so i decided to try here.
I bought Monster RPG 2 from Indievania in December (same day i sent the mail) and tried to play it in my iMac, but it always crashes in battle screens before the battle begins. The following video (1.2MB) shows the problem:

I have Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) with a late 2009 iMac 21.5", 4GB of memory and a 9400M GPU. Is there any patch planned or something i can do about this?
Thanks,
Kostas Michalopoulos
Hi. Before we start debugging, what version of the game are you running? You can find it on the title screen in the top right corner.
And I appologize for whatever happened with this not getting resolved. I always reply to email and work on fixing bugs as long as customers are willing to test things if necessary. Somehow I must have not gotten or misplaced your mail, or perhaps my reply was eaten somewhere along the line. I will make sure I do everything I can to fix this now.
I have version 1.10 (the only version that seem to be available in Indievania).
Ok.. I'm running a very similar system to yours. Same OS, same year, same GPU except mine is a macbook. When you get the crash, a small dialog box should pop up that says "This app has crashed" etc, and there's a button that says "Report". Can you click that, and copy & paste the large crash report from the window that comes up into a post here? Please put it in [code][/code] tags.
Just so you know, if the crash report doesn't point out the problem, I'll make a debug executable (only 2-3MB to download) and get you to run that and paste the output again.
Here is the crash report:

Ok, it turns out that the version for Mac on Indievania is messed up. I'm going to upload a new one. I'll try to do it tonight, but I'm feeling sleepy already. When I get it uploaded I'll let you know by posting back here.
I'm having problems uploading to Indievania right now. I sent you an email where you can download the game directly from us as a temporary solution. Hopefully I'll have things sorted with Indievania soon. Thanks.
Thanks, the new version seems to work :-)
If you don't mind, I'll email you when I have it up on Indievania, given your permission. However, you can keep the login/serial for this site as well.
Sure, email me at <removed>
I've removed your email address as I have it already under your account. Might save you from getting some spam *shrug*. I'll let you know, but so far the admins at Indievania haven't contacted me back.
