Issues fixed

Game does not start on OS X 10.9 with a multi-monitor setup

Run the game from the primary display[9]

Game crashes on startup with "I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred."

Stop the global injection of Special K, if it is installed[1]

Display problems

Update video card drivers[10]
Switch to a different video renderer[10]
  1. Hold down Shift while launching the game, or press Shift+G in-game to open the advanced settings menu.
  2. Under Renderer, choose an option.
    • It is recommended to try OpenGL, Angle/DirectX, and Software, in that order.
  3. Choose Quit, then restart the game.
