I tried to run No Gravity 2.0 from the universal binary on an Intel MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.3 (Leopard). I am able to get into the main menu but when I start a new game and the "loading data ..." screen appears, the game crashes. On the console, I just get the message "Bus error".

    I've tested on MacOSX 10.5.4 on a Macbook Pro 2.2Ghz w/ Geforce 8600M and it is working.
    I think it's related to the Intel GMA graphics chipset (on Windows, all intel graphics chipset are not supported)

    I see. Is there a chance that this will be fixed soon?

    Well I've just rebuilt a version with XCode 3.1. But apparently it's a crash in the OpenGL Drivers not in the application.
    If you can get the crash report from ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter, this would give more information.

    It crashes in glTexImage2D. So it's a Intel GMA Bug as predicted.
    You can fill a radar in https://bugreport.apple.com/, and pray that Apple will fix the problem. There is nothing much it can be done.

    Anyway, thanks for your help. I'll try to send a bug report to Apple. When I find out about a solution for this problem, I'll post it here.

    No problem. Also, since the full source code is provided, they will be able to fix the problem.
