Os X Snow Leopard Compatibility?

[stellatedHexahedron]

I just purchased the Humble Bundle, and have found that Mark of the Ninja requires OS X 10.7 or higher. Though I doubt there is, I see no harm in asking whether there is anything I could do to the .app or download or something In order to change this. Thank you in advance for any information.

It really depends on the system.

 

We have 10.7.x as the min spec because the game can be real problematic on some machines with 10.6.8.

 

I would suggest just seeing if you are able to run the game, and then if you can get into the front-end, you might have to tweak some values in the Settings screen.

Sounds like it's worth a try. I will download the steam version.

If you don't meet the minimum requirements, steam shall not allow you to start the game.

Actually it is OSX that does not allow you to play the game. Steam doesn't know what went wrong and returned an "unknown" error; OSX popped up a message about the sys reqs. Reqgardless, this leaves me stuck. Is there anything simple I can do to the .app to change the requirements?

[Wade]

Yeah, if Steam is blocking you from running it, then I can't think of anything which will change that.

 

Have you tried the standalone version and seen if it will run for you?

Given the game was compiled against OS X 10.7 SDK I don't think you'll be able to run it in OS X 10.6 unfortunately.

Had the same problem, but I don't use steam, so I don't know if this is applicable with the steam-version of the game as well. It worked for me with the standalone however:

 

Right click on "ninja.app", choose "Show Package Contents" (or something like this, my OS isn't English). In there, there's a folder "Contents". I first tried editing the "Info.plist"-File in this folder to have the minimum system version requirement "10.6" instead of "10.7", but that didn't seem to do anything. Might still be necessary for the following, so I mentioned it anyway.

 

Anyway, there's a folder "MacOS", which only contains the binary "ninja". Double click on that. Voila, the game starts. So, yeah, I couldn't figure out a way to start the .app-package directly, but this seems to work fine. Played the first level yesterday and it runs without issue on my mid-2011 MBP. There might be problems later on, no guarantee. This isn't supported of course.
