macOS game hangs with black screen #804

Hi, I can't get this to work on macOS 12, M2.

Here's the output from compiling ra2/engine (the OpenRA engine, checked out to release-20210321):

-> % make RUNTIME=mono

A window opens and goes fullscreen, all black, spinning beachball (macOS app hang indicator).

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I did put the .mix files in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenRA/Content/ra2/ per the instructions.

penev92 commented 1 year ago

I know OpenRA can take obscenely long to load fonts on MacOS on first run and appear as a "hung" black window/screen in the mean time. My other guess would be that the now outdated engine may have issues with M2s, but that's just a wild guess.

taoeffect commented 1 year ago

So, I tested this further, and this seems to be an issue with the release-20210321 tag on OpenRA, because on bleed it instantly starts up. So I don't think this has anything to do with fonts...

However, I can't try ra2 mod with bleed :-\

taoeffect commented 1 year ago

Also, I should mention that the instructions in this mod's readme are a bit outdated, since make dependencies isn't a thing in either bleed or release-20210321

penev92 commented 1 year ago

Since bleed runs but release-20210321 doesn't, I'll quote my answer to the other issue that was reported here today:

Hello. I assume you're running the master branch, which is targeting .NET 4.7. If so it would probably not be worthwhile to try and investigate that. I have started updating the mod for the upcoming OpenRA release and you can find that here - https://github.com/penev92/ra2/tree/updateModTo202212-devtest. Try packaging that and tell me how that goes.

In your case I guess you can try and run that.

taoeffect commented 1 year ago

@penev92 ok, I set the engine to bleed branch, compiled it with make RUNTIME=mono, went up a directory into ra2 folder, then ran make all:

-> % make all         
/bin/sh: dotnet: command not found
Automatic engine management is disabled.
Please manually update the engine to version playtest-20230110.
Unable to continue without engine files
make: *** [engine] Error 1

So I updated engine/VERSION as it requested, and ran make all again:

-> % make all
/bin/sh: dotnet: command not found
Compiling in Release mode...
make[1]: dotnet: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make: *** [engine] Error 2

How do I compile it? It was compiling before...

taoeffect commented 1 year ago

OK, so I looked through the changes in the Makefile and it seems the build instructions changed. So I tried with make RUNTIME=mono and it started making progress but then gave an error at the end:

-> % make RUNTIME=mono

Perhaps I need to have ra2/engine pointed to a specific commit?

penev92 commented 1 year ago

The target engine in that branch is fine, no need to target a specific commit. I don't know enough about running on non-windows systems to help, but why are you struggling with Mono when you can use .net6? Do you have a new enough Mono? Shouldn't you be running make RUNTIME=mono all?

I do recommend using .NET 6 instead.

taoeffect commented 1 year ago

I'm using mono 6.12 (the latest?). I'll try with .NET 6 (I didn't know that existed for macOS, I thought the reason mono existed was because .NET wasn't a thing on mac).

The output of make RUNTIME=mono all is about the same, except the errors are in reverse order:

Those error messages tell me you are targetting OpenRA's bleed branch instead of the playtest that I had referenced or at least the prep-2211 branch that will become the upcoming release.

taoeffect commented 1 year ago

The target engine in that branch is fine, no need to target a specific commit.

I thought ☝️ meant I was targeting the right engine, must have misunderstood!

There's no branch called playtest in the engine, but there is prep-2211, and that worked!

So then I stumbled upon this issue: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/19805

So I manually linked SDL (ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.26.2/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/libSDL2.dylib), and linked the other libraries too (except for lua), and started the game - it loaded!

I started playing it, and it got to this point where I ran out of money and the miner was unloading, but it didn't finish unloading what it mined, it just sat there:

So I thought maybe this is because I didn't link lua (even though I saw no errors). So I linked lua, and tried again. Same thing happened. Also I noticed that attack-move didn't work on dogs.

I am very confused as to why the manual linking is necessary on macOS, because before the engine built and loaded fine for the other mods (no manual linking was needed). But now manual linking is needed! Even with just the engine (not the ra2 mod). So that might be caused by switching to .NET...

All dependencies were installed via homebrew btw (standard way of installing them on macOS).

So, to summarize:

And finally, here's the output from running ra2's launch-game script:

@taoeffect can you join us on Discord?

@penev92 sure! I'm currently muted for 10 min as a new user.

BTW - I just tried compiling again with mono using make RUNTIME=mono all - it worked!

Turns out the problem was I needed to have prep-2211 checked out, and then it builds with both .NET and mono - and even better, with mono, there is no manual linking necessary. I opened a related issue to this in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/20641

Thanks for your help figuring this out @penev92!
