Deadly Fredly Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Pretty much what it says on the tin. I quit out of the game, and the next time I started up Island Rum, it said it was downloading a new version of itself. It did that and then restarted itself. The restarted Island Rum renders no windows, it just runs/hangs and does near as I can tell nothing at all. I downloaded the latest version and replaced it, and rebooted my machine. Newly downloaded Island Rum behaves identically: hang, unresponsive, nothing happening. I'm on an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019), macOS Catalina.

ColdSpark Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Same thing here, was absolutely fine earlier this evening, did what you did - hanging now. Oh dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Fredly Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Sounds like a total reinstall ain't likely to be much help then — that was going to be my next step. Argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdSpark Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Have tried restoring Island Rum from an earlier time machine backup - it just re-patches itself to a non-functional version again of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdSpark Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hey - I'm back in by doing the following. Restore an Island Rum from Time Machine. Make a copy of it - you may need it! Delete the patched non working version and take a copy of your restored one and rename it as just Island Rum. When it opens and starts to patch, hit red X and wait 30 seconds or so (the time it takes to normally re-download). It then lets you back to the menu when you can launch in. Yes we're snookered when a patch is released server side but at least we're back in for now! Hth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly Fredly Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'll give that a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manga Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) The patch has been reversed. Apparently we've gotten to a point where an app made to work in Catalina 10.15 (properly signed so it doesn't nag on install) without compromises is not going to work in any previous OS. This is going to require a drastic forking of the Island Rum project and might take a few weeks to get right (except possibly Catalina, which already has a working build). The difficulty is going to be in testing it, because I don't exactly have a lab with 4 different Macs running 4 different OS's - which means I'm going to have to guess a lot. So at the very least, there may be up to 3 builds, just so if one of them faults, one or the others might still work properly. We'll see where this goes in the coming weeks.

Xemnas Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Hey I don't have any backups of this and so Island Rum still will not boot up. Do I have to reinstall the entire thing? Thanks EDIT: Nevermind - sorted it 🙂 Edited March 14, 2020 by Xemnas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on Catalina, and had the hanging client problem, fwiw. Dropping back to the prior version via Time Machine did get me back up and running.

Redlynne Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I'm still running on 10.13.6 High Sierra (2011 iMac) and for months now I've needed to tell Island Rum to go stuff itself after launch so as to cancel the download it does to update itself upon launch. Once that process is halted, I simply go to the pulldown menu in the top left and tell it to Re-Scan my installation. Once the Re-Scan is completed, I can play.

Manga Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The "new version" was rolled back yesterday. If it won't auto-update back to the previous one you can download it from https://islandrum.eekstudio.com/ On that site is also a separate Catalina version that has a Developer ID signature. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanderingAries Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Tried both these sites in Catalina and they both "hang" as it were when trying to launch the game. Going to try redownloading the game files next. https://telstar.eekstudio.com/ https://islandrum.eekstudio.com/ Edit: No change, it still does the thing where you click to launch the game and nothing happens.

I wish I'd taken a SS so I could point out the file, but for those installing the Win version, I had a false flag for a file during the initial IR install on my Win7 system. Keep an eye out on those as I'm sure that @Manga isn't in the habit of sharing malicious files.

olio Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) I ran Island Rum and it did download a new version. I launched the game and played a bit. I closed the game and noticed that Island Rum had white mark over it. When trying to launch it, it says I have to have OS X 10.11 or later. I have OS X 10.10.5. Is this intentional? I can run the game when I just launch COH application, though. Edit: Can't connect to the game anymore 😕 Wrong client version.

Hey, thanks for the answer. Unfortunately my issue is that I can't launch the patcher anymore because of the recent update to it, which made it uncompatible with my OS X.
