Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Error launching mac version from Steam

When I try to launch the MAC version of the game with Steam, I get this error. "Critical Divinity Original Sin Error, Divinity Original Sin can not run from disk image. Please copy it to your disk drive and run from there."

I have installed on PC and have no problems.

Have you tried verifying your game files?

Right click the game -> select "properties" -> under the "local files" tab press the button "verify integrity of game files"

Game thinks you're running it from virtual disk image.

Go to terminal and type:

/usr/bin/hdiutil info -plist

Look for <key>images</key> - it should be empty for 100% error free test. For that eject all the image drives you've connected.
Also please keep original data and post it here. It doesn't contain any sensitive data.

Got this original data:

Did ejection of this disk cured the problem?
More technically what IS this disk ? I see it's some kind of encryption stuff. I'll sort this out in next update.

The solution for now is to make steam library outside of /users/ folder. Actually it's a good advise because encyption adds overhead.

Can not eject any disk. Simply downloaded the game with steam and tried to launch it. How can I move the steam library?

You're probably using global disk encryption, because that's the only thing that comes to my mind.

Go to Steam->Preferences->Downloads.
Click on Steam Library Folders
Create SteamLibrary inside your Applications folder f.ex.
Delete Divinity Original Sin game from your library
Install it again and specify /Applications/SteamLibrary as a place of download

Run it.

thx

Did it and the game launches ok!

Hi,

I'm having a similar problem. After installing I can't get it to run, after downloading it on a folder outside "users". If I try to run it, it stays on a perpertual loading window (from steam). If I try to run directly it shows "Divinity - Original Sin quit unexpectedly". What could be the possible solution to this?

The latest patch addresses the encrypted storage issue.
Do you see exactly this dialog about media? I verified the code and the fix is definitely in the latest update.
Can you run hdiutil command mentioned before?

You can't run DRM protected executable outside of steam on OS X. Game will crash no matter what.
Please close steam and start it again and then run the version which is outside of users. It should run most certainly. Steam is notorious for hanging start window, you can login/log off to cure this thing mostly or restart like I said

I will be waiting for your hdiutil btw

Ok, now it worked perfectly, I did run the hdiutil and I got only a <array/> after <key>images</keys>.

It seems that I can't just install it and run it. (I rebooted it just to make sure).

About the crash while trying to open directly: could have a better crash window if possible. But thanks Stauff1138 =]

btw, should I keep the shadows off?, I remember you saying to set it to 0 somewhere in a file on the documents folder, I did and since it didn't work I finaly end up here.

Crash is completely steam issue - OS X is fine and game is fine, steam is not..
All shadows problems have been addressed you don't have to do anything anymore. Only in case of real issues (crashes, etc) we will look into checking config stuff now.
