Mac problems -- we're right on top

Hi all,

So, another quick update -- it seems some Mac players are having issues getting the game to start up (yes, this old issue, but not quite). If you're a mac player and you're getting a big long error on start that says this at one point:

Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libpng16.16.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/*/barony.app/Contents/MacOS/barony
Reason: image not found

Basically it means a dynamic library called libpng16.16.dylib (which is stored in the app, I just checked) isn't being loaded by the game right for some reason.

It's likely that the game just doesn't know the library is there and we'll be able to fix it with a quick tweak and a patch, but I'm letting you all know NOW so you don't buy the game and get disappointed if/when it doesn't start right away. :)

Sorry to those who've been afflicted! We should have this fixed within 24 hrs tops.

Sheridan
