Has anyone played Brood War in OS X? I am having all sorts of trouble. My installation of StarCraft has been working great for a while, but I recently installed Brood War and none of my characters from StarCraft can remember Brood War levels they have played. If, however, I create a brand new character just for Brood War it works, but I can't save games no matter what. The entire monitor switches resolution, I get a cryptic message about "pftell", then the app switches resolution back and promptly crashes.

I am sure that this is a permissions problem but I can't figure out what might cause it.

Apparently, the Brood War installer which runs under Classic set the ownership of all files it installed to user:staff instead of user:admin like the others.

For whatever reasons, changing the group to admin in all cases fixed the problem.

Sometimes this forum seems more like a blog than a place for discussion.
