As it seems, Urban Terror won't start on the current Apple OS X 10.9. This is probably due to the use of the deprecated CGDisplayBaseAddress graphic function.

I had problems with 4.1 on Mavericks yesterday. I did a clean install and it still didn't work, crashing as soon as it came up. Changing from fullscreen to windowed mode (by editing the configuration file) fixed it.

I'm not sure about 4.2, but that might be something to try.

Thanks! Same problem here - crashes right after it's launched.
That would be which cfg-file? And what would I exactly change, there? Thx.

Well, that really sux - like playing UrT (4.1) on an iBook G4.

I still own a (working) iBook G4 and know how it is if you're left behind by ANYONE (Apple, Mozilla, FS, ...).

I won't pretend that I feel sorry for you.

Blame Apple.

That would be your q3config.cfg file:

On OS X, it's in /Users/~/Library/Application Support/Quake3/q3ut4/q3config.cfg

Open it in a text editor and find the line
seta r_fullscreen "1"

and toggle it off:
seta r_fullscreen "0"

….but this only worked for 4.1 crashing. I have no problems with 4.2 under Mavericks, fullscreen or not.

Thx. Works now. Maybe it was OS X Mavericks, maybe switch to retina.

UrbanTerror42/q3ut4/autoexec.cfg

seta r_fullscreen     "0"  
 seta r_mode "4" // (4 = 800x600, 6=1024xx768, 8=1280x1024)

I wrote up a solution here, if anyone comes looking for an answer.or an answer.

UrT 4.1 and 4.2 in the latest version run successfully on my 10.9.1 in window mode...
