Doesn't Work on OSX Mavericks (10.9)
I just updated my 3.5 year old Macbook Pro to OSX Mavericks (my first OS update since purchasing my computer). Doomsday Engine no longer works - the frontend launch program works, but then when I launch the game itself, the screen goes black then the program shuts down due to error. I tried updating to the latest edition of DE but it's still not working. Will there be compatibility to OSX 10.9 soon, or is there something I can download now to make it work?
Computer specs:
Version 10.9.1 (as of this update)
2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
4GB memory

Could you copy or put a link to the error message for analysis?
Do you have the OS X 10.8+ version of Doomsday installed?
EDIT: I tested the latest 10.8 build and sure enough there seems to be a crash at startup when it tries to initialize the FluidSynth music plugin. The reason for the crash is quite strange, though, as it comes from glib and it appears that the glib compiled on the 10.8 autobuilder is somehow different than the one compiled on my main development system. I've included the correctly functioning glib in the distribution packages now, hopefully this will help you.
