Working here and stored games all intact!

Crashed after I blasted the head Lorewitch with the Plasma Rod, but that may have been an existing bug (just a test - never tried it before).

Yep, Book I is now working. Progress!

However, Book II still crashes in exactly the same way. Hopefully, they just haven't gotten around to applying the patch there yet.

Fingers crossed....

I think MattM was talking about Steam with regards to poor response times, rather than Basilisk Games BasiliskWrangler. :P

Exactly! No complaints for Basilisk, nothing but complaints for Steam.

IMO, Steam was a great thing for the Mac in the days before the Mac App store. Now that the App Store ...

Just thinking out loud here, but I would think we would have to ask Steam for a refund, rather than expecting Basalisk to fund the replacement.

Just not sure how successful that would be given their poor response history...

FYI - Just got a response to my trouble ticket on Steam.
Hello Mathew,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

Please follow the link below for information:

If you have ...

FYI - Zero response to the trouble ticket I filed with Steam...

Make sure everyone contacts the Steam people about this as well.

Submitted the following to Steam support:

Since upgrading to Mac OSX 10.7 Lion, Eschalon I and II crash immediately upon pressing "Play" within Steam - never gets as far as the the Eschalon "Launch Game" dialog. Already contacted ...

Exact same error here on both Eschalon I and II running from Steam. Both ran fine under Snow Leopard.

I also have Portal on Steam, and it runs fine, so your assumption that it seems to be something related to just Lion+Steam+Eschalon seems correct.

Please post if you need any additional log ...
