Cannot launch demo of King's Legacy (10.6.4/MBP 2.4GHzx2)

[mcroft]

I'm trying to run the demo that I downloaded this morning from Mac Games Arcade, and it fails with an error dialog as soon as I launch it.  The error gives me the options to Open Console or Terminate.  This is 100% repeatable for me.  The error is:

An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script.

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/mcroft/Documents/MacGamesArcade/Demos/Kings_Legacy/King's Legacy/King's Legacy.app/Contents/Resources/.Game/King's Legacy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/ogremac_ppc/renderer/OGRE/_ogre_.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:

On opening the console log, I see the following (possibly) relevant entries.

So, I partially "fixed" it.

I navigated to /Users/mcroft/Documents/MacGamesArcade/Demos/Kings_Legacy/King's Legacy/King's Legacy.app/Contents/Resources/.Game/King's Legacy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/

and moved ogremac_ppc to ogremac_ppc.bak and created a symlink from ogremac to ogremac_ppc and it launched.

It displayed graphics and played voice and music, but it didn't have most text (intro text and pictures of text, but it didn't look like it was rendering fonts or something).

I'm attaching a screenshot showing places I think there should be text but there isn't and also the console log.  While I'm hoping the log will help you, it might be nice in the future to limit this level of logging to debug builds.  It's a lot...

thanks for this thorough report! We'll see what we can do

The font came up previously in my post here.

King's Legacy shares no code with Kings of the Dark Age.

On topic, we've pinpointed the problem to Apple recently starting to ship computers with 64-bit kernel turned on by default, as opposed to some previous models with 64-bit Snow Leopard that actually ran 64-bit applications with 32-bit kernel.

In other words, you should try holding keys 3 and 2 while turning on the computer (while pressing the power button). This should force the 32-bit kernel to start.

Any future releases, and any future patches for our games will have this fixed (that is, it won't matter if you run a 32-bit or a 64-bit kernel)
