No Baseball For You!

Well, I was going to try Out Of The Park Baseball 11 today, as my first Mac game in this series, but by the time I’d finished mucking about with patches, I’d kinda lost my enthusiasm.  The base game ran okay, but I was getting errors about the face generator, sound was missing, and it froze on the credits when I chose ‘About…’, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to look for a patch.  There was one, but the patch file from the store I got it from was for the Windows version.  The technical support forum directed me to the publisher’s site for updates for the GamersGate version I have, but that also turned out to only have the Windows patch.  Back in the support forum they did have a Mac patch, and I figured I’d give it a try anyway, but it couldn’t find the existing install and wouldn’t let me proceed even after manually selecting the install directory, and confusingly it wanted the location of “OOTP 10” even though it had the OOTP 11 logo in the corner…

It is supposed to be the best baseball management sim out there, by far, but I’m two versions behind on it by now, the latest versions are fairly expensive (I got this one for cheap since it was right before a new version release), and I just don’t have much patience today.  Maybe I’ll revisit a future version if I ever find it cheap again.
