Heads Up about Unity builds and Mac OS X 10.4.3

There seems to be a bug with Mac OS X built players and the latest greatest Mac OS X.

Basically, there is no Quit item in the menu bar, so you must force quit to quit.

I'll see if a quick script will work around it for now... but..

D'oh!

For the mean time you can work around the bug by attaching this JavaScript to some object in your hierarchy:

Code (csharp):

1. function Update ()
2. {
3.     if ((Input.GetKey("left cmd") || Input.GetKey("right cmd"))  Input.GetKey("q"))
4.         Application.Quit();
5. }

Thanks aarku... I got a small shudder when I saw that 10.4.3 had landed, but I have to ship a build tomorrow so I didn't dare update just now...

Can you verify whether the Web-plugin works correctly. I saw that Apple had made some improvements to SW3D integration in safari, and I would really like to know if they broke something for us in the process....

 

Everything I've tested with the web player and dashboard player worked just fine. Dare I say it seems like the plugin for the web player loaded a hell of a lot faster...

Also of interest is that Apple's OpenGL 2.0 support went from 66% (10.4.2) to 77% (10.4.3). According to OpenGL Extensions Viewer. Go Apple Go! Nearly at 100%

Cheers.

 

Poor hangt5 in the IRC channel today got stuck in a Unity game fullscreen and couldn't force quit and had to hard restart. Perhaps making this thread a sticky or more visible somehow could save some people?

Yay for OS update breaking weird things. I had a heck of a time getting fullscreen working in Tiger with one of my games, for instance. Worked fine in every other OS. Oh well...

If you're still reading this sticky, you should know:

This was fixed a while ago.
