[usurper]

Upgraded from 10.8 to 10.9 on an RMBP15. Had been playing successfully on 10.8 without issues for a long time.

Wouldn't launch at all on 10.9. Gave a blank screen then crash to desktop. Tried other forum suggestions:
* repair permissions
* Changed the r_fullscreen to "0" in q3config.cfg
* removed ~/Library/Application Support/Quake3 directory, trashed /Applications/q3* etc. Downloaded and performed a fresh install into ~/urbanterror

Hasn't helped.

This is with the fresh install - the only file I've copied back is my autoexec.cfg and that only contains a few keyboard bindings:

Run from the console I see this:

As it is a fresh install the contents of ~/Library/Application Support/Quake3 only contain a qkey file, no q3config.cfg.
Suggestions on further diagnostics?

This happened to me on 10.9 too. In this very forum, http://www.urbanterr...intosh-support/ , there are about six threads on the same subject (and that's just on the first page). Try looking through those first.
