Mac Game Not Running (Files Missing?)

ASIMAUVE · Post by **ASIMAUVE** » Sat Feb 07, 2015 7:30 am

Installed the program, I am running 10.6.8 so no problem but ...

After adding the 3.0.4 patch I got from here, I get this debug screen and then nothing happens :

Any help is much appreciated, I've been playing this game since it came out, but just restored my computer

When you restored your computer, did you upgrade to a new version of OS X? EHM hasn't been compatible with OS X for a number of years now because unfortunately Apple have a tendency to significantly change things in such a way that older software is incompatible.

If you think 10.6.8 is sufficiently old, have you tried checking that you have a NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007\data\skins\ehm_default folder which is full of sub-folders and images? The error suggests as though those files might be missing (from your screenshot, it looks like files are missing from NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007\data\skins\ehm_default\table\row).

Ok so I copied the data files to a separate folder and put them bck in, game starts and loads but I now get this

It'll go away after a few clicks but happens all the time

The error message suggests that the game either cannot find a file or perhaps does not have the necessarily level of rights to do so.

Can you give the game administrator rights? In Windows we use a "Run as Admin" option - I don't know if there is an equivalent in OS X?

I think it already has all the rights, I'm going to see if it cause the same issues on a new game vs saved game
