Some Technical Issues In OSX.

Ok ,
I was playing marble Blast Gold.
The new custom level Pipe Nightmare?
And I was at the part where the tube was up side-down and everything was going real fast and then BOOM! the game freezes.
It gave me an error message saying something like To restart your computer
press and hold your power key for 5 sec.
I tried to force quit but that didn't work so I just held the power key on in the back of the computer and did it that way.
This isn't the first time this has happened.
Once it happened in mobias strip i think it was an overload with the gravity changers.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Ok, I use version 1.4.1 too but on Panther. When you get Panther, the bug might disappear...LillBenny

The problem we saw on Moebius strip was due to the collisions on the helix being so complex, I think, in addition to the gravity modifiers. It sounds like the crash was a kernel panic, otherwise it would have not given you the restart error and just killed MB. I'll see if I can get it to happen on my machine.

Interesting... that doesn't happen on my PC. I know that bit when you go crazy swirling down that steep pipe. If you take it a bit slower, it might help, but your time won't be as fast.
