trouble launching game through Steam

Post by Idgy »

Not sure if this is best directed at Basilisk support or Steam support, so I'm trying both.

I purchased and downloaded Eschalon Book I on my MacBook, but I'm unable to launch the game. After I click on "Play" in my Games Library, a small Steam window appears, titled "Eschalon: Book I - Steam", with the message "Preparing to Launch Eschalon: Book I.."

This window closes with no further messages or error codes, and I'm left at the Eschalon page in my Steam games library.


Here are my system details:

OS X Version 10.5.8
MacBook Model 3,1
Steam Client Application built Jun 30 2010 at 14:43:46
Steam API v009
Steam Package versions: 1278013843 / 1278013843

I've tried the following corrective actions:
re-starting Steam
re-starting Steam in offline mode
verifying integrity of game cache
applying all OS X software and firmware updates and reboot
deleting local content and re-downloading the game

None of the above steps fixed the issue. Any suggestions on what else I could try?

Does your computer have a PPC or Intel processor?

MacBooks are all made with Intel chips, good sir. The Model 3,1 runs a Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2+ GHz, and of course the horrendous Intel GMA graphics.
