Nevertheless Unreal engine is great, and blueprint concept, following in kismet´s footsteps, is a fantastic idea. Now lets see if you guys at Epic get beyond MS game-nerds-buy-me-faster-graphics-fandom-world. engine would deserve it, no question. We here at SYA and KTX have been developing and published “Haunted:Hells Reach” with Unreal for THQ, so I know what I am talking about, ups and downsides.

It sounds like there are a couple of different issues.
While Trepka and others are figuring out and fixing bugs causing Mac version to crash that are unrelated to min system requirement, let me please extend my apologies for our minimum system requirements on GPU side not being clearer upfront.
Please contact us if your GPU is below min spec as identified by above and we will issue you a refund and will hook you up once our requirements are compatible with your Mac/PC.
Thanks for being an early adopter!
I am having same issue. I have a yiynova monitor (http://www.amazon.com/Yiynova-MSP19U-Monitor-Windows-Solution/dp/B009QQ7BG0), similar to a Cinitiq. If I unplug usb connection to monitor, it works fine, but then I can’t track stylus input on monitor. Unity 4 has always worked fine with this monitor. I have attached crash logs as requested.link text
I noticed that if I unplug monitor, launch editor and level, then plug in monitor, it works fine. Tedious to do this for each project though. So somewhere in launch it is crashing (recognizing monitor as a joystick?)
I’m very sorry for inconvenience. I’ll look into this first thing in morning and do my best to have a patch for you tomorrow.
That did trick… disconnected my Wacom Tablet and Editor fired right up. Thank you.
Same issue verified due to having a PS3 controller plugged into machine. Thanks for comment!
Not sure if you read notes on subscription page? It says that OSX version still needs some work.
And while I had same issue (it was my Wacom) it’s mind boggling how fast devs here respond and obviously try their best to resolve issues.
Also I think it’s still better to have a Windows machine for serious game development anyways.
Hi, Daniel,
thx for offer, and clearing air, appreciate it very much. Mac Pro´s usually do not touch a running system. Systems are stable standard workflows and run for years and years ,aimed to make money with different media products. There are chances that UE will be industry standard for game development, if you succeed in terms of seamless compatibility.
Best

Don´t think so. Media production is an Apple thing, consuming them is a WIN thing, except with games… Ask distributors, they´ll confirm.Never mind. Result?There are 4 games out of a hundred which went into production that pay off, and 8 out of ten productions fail in completion or announced street date. Desaster, right? So lets not talk about serious game development. There is almost none.
I happen to also have Wacom Cintiq 13HD attached to my Macbook. Looks like problem is here as was stated above.
I am having same problem here, Unreal boots and then stops, as soon as I unplug wacom all works fine.
As a little edition if you fire up engine and then plug wacom back in it works fine.
confirmed, this also solves my crashing issue.
Totally understand – once you buy a Mac Pro you expect to be able to use it at very least till there is a new one out and available. We just barely received ours and engine should run really well on those.
Ok, so we found out how to launch and see a reasonable viewport. Machine is still iMac with OS 10.9.2 , Processor 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM ,Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB.
- Disconnect any USB devices: tablet, printer,pads, scanner, musical instrument interface, USB Hubs. External HD with USB works.
- Now open blank project.
- screen shows oszillating crap. Go to quicksettings and change. Especially tonemapper option.
Like this:
- Scale some realtime options. Like this.
Hi . I have posted workaround to launch and have realtime editor working appropriately on machine below.
I had a problem with editor crashing on start up, this is what showed in logs:
[2014.03.20-15.07.56:968][ 0]LogLoad:
Full Startup: 10.90 seconds (BP
compile: 0.13 seconds)

Similar to connected gamepad above, I unplugged my Logitech M570 trackball and things started launching just fine. Hooking trackball back up after editor launched seemed to work just fine.
Specs: late 2013 model MacBook Pro, 2.7GHz i7, 16G RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M.
There are three main points causing trouble : USB input devices, tonemapper option, and no support for two or three items in scalable realtime features.
Making some changes with USB input devices gives way to launch a blank project, putting off tonemapper in post processing options, and scaling something in realtime options does it, i think. Now we will have some tests on weekend how to use blueprint, trying out with blank project.
