I am Mac user and I have a small issue with application. When I try to open it I get a message for crash and reopen the application. But if I go to packages contents and choose Dreampi companion it works normally.


What version of MacOS are you using? Is it MacOS or OS X? Sierra+ requires all applications to be verified in security settings if it's not downloaded from app store. It's possible you're on a version higher than Sierra which i haven't tested.

Please let me know the specifics; I've only tested on El Capitan.

I'm thinking about making a 32bit version for older OS X, as well.


Yes i’m on MacOS Mojave version. Also i found the resolution screen on app a bit low like 640x480. That is normal?

DreamPi Companion is 800x600 resolution at all times. MacOS Mojave is untested; I hate that operating system and i downgraded back to EL Capitan. The mac version is compiled on EL Capitan with the latest MacOS framework(s), so it should be compatible. It's 64 bit, which Mojave requires too. You say the application works though package contents, which is the main executable and not the bundle icon; That's extremely weird but it works at least. MacOS EL Cap and Mojave .APPs are identical in terms of file structure and .PLIST, so i'm not sure...

Hello, everyone!

Just a heads up that 1.3 patch 1 will be releasing shortly on Windows, Macintosh 64 and Linux 64.

I've added the patch notes to the top of the thread. Some really good stuff, this time.

What exactly did you search for? I tried 50 different names on all 3 platforms with success everytime. CaSe sensitivity.

Also, each search suggestion has some quotes around it ( ' ); This is to help with spelling.

Some users, like 'Exo ' and 'Adrian ' have spaces at the end of there names for whatever reason. You've gotta pay attention to this, so i added those quotes. Their names are still annoying, tho.

This is why i went ahead and included quotes around suggestions; I see it's handy now.

Take a look at the end of their username; There's a space.

So, search for 'MECHANIC '. :D

I might add a check that sees if the username with/without a stupid space exists; Would make things less of a pain.
