I've just bought the game Tropico today, and was hoping to play it... after I installed it, and try to run the game, the OS X option icon, it'll change screen for a split second and then give me a error saying it quit and had to be closed. Anyone know how to solve this so I can play this game???

Thanks...

Sorry I'm late in getting in on this, but congrats on finding a fix. Hopefully they'll fix that crashing issue in future patches!

A macsoft guy was on yourmaclife.com the other day and he said the latest update to osX (10.2.5) helps tropico in a big way. nice work to apple/macsoft for improving gameplay.
