Hi,

I bought Tentacle Stew yesterday and it crashes on start up. I see the cut scene with rocks falling on a cross-road for about 5 seconds, and then the scene changes to another room and it crashes immediately afterwards.

I’m on Mac OS X Ventura 13.1. I tried a fresh install of Gunthro and the Epic Blunder, purchased from Steam.

(I'm also getting no sound, for any location (hold?) I try, which seems to be a long time bug on Mac - I see a post about that here dating back to 2008. I vaguely remember getting that to work eventually some years ago but I hoped that this would work out of the box by now.)

Thanks!
Alex

(I tried sending the above bug report to bugs@caravelgames.com but it bounced with the error: "Your message wasn't delivered to bugs@caravelgames.com because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail. The response from the remote server was: 553 Unknown recipient.") [Thanks! Addressed - mrimer]

Crash log attached. (EDIT: Now actually attached)

For the sound issue, there's a workaround: https://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=41511&page=0#428807

Also your log file didn't attach; if you preview a post at any point you need to re-attach just before you actually post the reply.

There’s a prerelease non-Steam Mac build in this thread addressing the crash (speech) issue.
