BA Mac problem
Hi, I bought BA1 for Mac and I cannot get it to play. When I click on the icon in Launchpad, a box opens up with some graphic options and a smaller box on top asking if I want to upgrade. If I click no, both boxes go blank, the little rainbow wheel shows up and the game shuts down...will not start. If I click yes to the upgrade offer, the download starts but won't finish because it says 2 items are missing. Then the icon in Launchpad disappears and I have to start all over again with installing the game. Bottom line, I can't play the silly thing. Help! I have 2014 model Mac Mini with 8 GB of memory and Intel Iris graphics running OS X Yosemite. Thanks for any help.

Re: BA Mac problem
Do you have the Steam or non-Steam version? For the non-Steam version you can grab the latest update from here:

I have the non-Steam version and that's the update that I've downloaded and it won't install.
Re: BA Mac problem
But the most frustrating thing is I can't even get the base game to run. If I don't want the update, everything just shuts down.

Re: BA Mac problem
Why won't it install? It's just a replacement .app file for the initially downloaded one. If you update to the latest version you won't get an update message.

Re: BA Mac problem
When it's almost done installing, it stops with an error message that "2 Items are missing and cannot continue". But I can't even start the game without the update. If I press NO when it asks if I want to update, the game just shuts down.

Re: BA Mac problem
It sounds like the update zip didn't download correctly.
