Celestia - Explore the universe
Authored by: tombert on Nov 10, '05 12:36:53PM

I also have encountered the big freeze, everytime. Freezes my entire Mac so I have to reboot - I can't roam the universe, but have to re-boot. Re-moved the app from my Mac.

I am running on a Dual G4 Tower, 1 GHz, OSX 10.3.9, with 1.75 Gb of RAM.

I don't think this app is quite ready for prime time......

Hi, I'm a developer for Celestia. The lockup, as mentioned by other posters, is caused by a bug in the drivers for a small subset of graphics cards and has a known workaround. Yes, it is Apple's and ATI's fault, not Celestia's. I've tried lobbying Apple but apparently they have either found the bug not worth fixing or don't know how.
