I've had this happen to me on three seperate systems running OS 10.1 - 10.1.3.

Systems:
DP G4/500mhz with 512mb ram
B&W G3 450mhz with 512mb ram
FlatScreen iMac 800mhz with 512mb ram

After playing Oni for about five minutes on any level, the game freezes up and automatically quits, or I can force it to quit. Either way the game freezes completely after five minutes of playing. Any suggestions?

Exactly the same thing happens to me, and no, I have no suggestions.
The low-end Mac Pro is the most overpriced Mac since the IIvx

Maybe it has to do with the buggy OpenGL framework and th more-buggy 3D drivers in the System. Most 3D games behave like this! Except Quake 3. I don't knwo what ID has donw, but it seems to work fluently!

Well, I've never had it happen to me in any program but Oni, but I will agree with the Quake III statement - it has never once bugged out on me.

are you using the Omni group builds of Oni, and if so, which version?

i found the latest version (v1.33) freezes on me more often than the previous one (v1.31). needless to say, i run v1.31.

try this site, the omniweb sneakypeaks ftp site
http://www.omnigroup.com/ftp/pub/sof...X/.sneakypeek/

click on the releases and then go to the archive. there should be an oni image there, and i think it's 1.31, because the date on it is from early december.

Works great. But why is Konoko wearing a black mask?

On the iMac, Konoko seems to be wearing a back mask. Some of the strikers are also blacked out on their heads or faces and some body armor. I

think that this may be a bug with version 1.31.

The problem is while version 1.33 fixes this problem it crashes after five minutes of play. This seems strange and unusual to me because an earlier build of a game should not be more stable than a newer one.

1.31 doesn't crash but it has this black mask deal.

In my case, I've never got to play Oni on Mac OS X (10.1.3). Versions 1.33 or 1.31 just quits after 2 or 3 bounces on the dock.

How do you guys got it to even open in the first place???

How do you install it?

ummm...don't mean to sound stupid, but you do have the OS 9 version of oni, right?

to install, you just drag the omniweb build into the oni OS 9 folder.

I already did that, and it just bounces 2 times in the dock and quits. I've done every thing it says in the "Read Me" file. Help please...

Nope. It's not a preferences issue either. It's an Application error of some kind.
