Blockland caused a kernel panic on my Mac

To be honest your computer is just not for any type of gaming, even Blockland, more than likely it just didn't like all the stress, lol. But if you don't play for hours upon hours you will probably be ok. Blockland hasnt ever crashed my computer nor has my computer ever crashed so I can't help you to much.

This shouldn't manifest as a kernel panic, though playing on an old MacMini is a bit weird.

Some other odd combination of things going bad had to have happened, but Blockland and your rubbish Mac can only add to the problems.

I like how this thread instantly devolved into four pages of idiots on both sides talking about macs instead of trying to figure out why this guy's machine kernel panicked while running Blockland.

Anyone claiming that his machine can't run Blockland is wrong, Blockland will run on just about anything. An Intel GMA 950 is pretty weak for a GPU but it shouldn't cause kernel panicking, just like running Blockland on Windows with a crappy GPU wouldn't necessarily mean a bluescreen. A dual-core Intel with 2GB of DDR2 667 RAM is more than enough for Blockland.

Do you remember exactly what you were doing before you kernel panicked? If not, can you try to recreate the issue for us?

Good input, but uh.  Who are you?  You just popped up today with a 1k ID and several posts...

Yeah I agree, Blockland runs on an Intel Atom D525 and Intel GMA 950 graphics okay on my mini-itx. High brick count makes it slow, but it doesn't cause those kind of problems. Though I personally can't recommend people playing on those machines.

It wouldn't be blockland, it would be some background process you can't see that encountered an error. Or a hardware malfunction. It might not have been bad enough to stop all processes, and tell you to shut down, but it would have anyway, just to be safe.

I do? What are they and how do I disable them?

Probably not the best idea to disable background process that you don't know the function of.

If it was a background process or hardware failure he'd see a lot more kernel panics.

Maybe this is just the beginning?

It could be, but it's far too early to just jump up and say "BLOCKLAND IS PERFECT AND DOESNT CAUSE ANY KERNEL PANICS, IT MUST BE YOUR stuffTY MAC." I mean, I don't like Apple either, but a lot of people in this thread are being really stupid (what a surprise from the blockland community!).

Eww...Macs..

Good thing i don't have a dell or HP ether.

I like him. He's proven himself to be more reasonable than half of the community already here.

And I agree completely with what he said. Right as people saw the word "Mac" they just went into "Mac vs Windows" mode, completely ignoring the entire intention of the thread.

So like I said. I like him.

NoEdit:

It wasn't Blockland that caused a kernel panic. It just is't possible, ok wait. Let me rephrase.

On your computer. It might be possible, it seems as if your computer is... crap. At least by today's average.

But someone sad it before, something along the lines of your RAM and Processor being overtaxed? That's most likely the problem.
