The forum

Hey all, I hope I give the necessary info on this. Basically, I'm playing Dota2 on the most recent playonmac version with XQuartz. I'm currently playing on a macbook pro with Mountain Lion. Everything is up to date.

The specific issue I keep having is that Dota crashes in a very odd way. It blinks out for a second as if it's about to disconnect but then suddenly minimizes itself. When I try to go back to it, it becomes a white screen with the dota cursor still there. Sometimes it comes back, but usually it just freezes like that until the white screen goes away and Steam reappears (whereupon sometimes Steam crashes as well). Needless to say, an inconvenient and frankly irritating problem (and even if I just had an idea WHY it did this, I would feel so much better).

Thank you in advance.

Can you give us more of your system specs, as well as your debug output, as per the forums rules?

http://www.playonmac.com/en/topic-10303-How_to_get_your_debug_output.html

OSX 10.8.3
6g RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 128 MB
PlayOnMac v 4.2.1

I don't know if the debugger is registering that these are crashes. The debugger itself only pops up when steam goes down on its own. As of the last day or two, its been disconnecting/minimizing/crashing several times per game. It minimizes, I immediately re-expand it and then wait for it to crash. I can restart dota seconds after; steam seems almost impervious on my computer but any programs I try to run through it seem doomed.

Not that debugger. Thats Wines debugger. Its the debug output as described in the sticky at the top of the forum that says "PLEASE READ ME" and "How to get your debug output". Always check stickies before posting. :)

I did but what I'm saying is that I'm not sure the debugger is picking up on anything actually going wrong. The wine debugger I have never seen. The one that pops up is always labeled as PlayOnMac debugger, and ONLY appears when Steam itself crashes (which rarely happens; far more often the only time the debugger message appears at all is when I force quit xquartz).
