Call of Duty 4 program won't even open anymore :( On a Mac. Please help.

[LustyRazor]

Happened about 2 weeks ago. I'm on a Mac. Clicked Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer icon. It bounced in the dock a few times, but never launched. Odd. Tried again. Icon bounced once and no launch. This went on for some time but I could never get the game to launch. Restarted my machine a few times. Uninstalled/reinstalled COD4. Even tried a launching the program from a guest account. Nothing.

 

I ended up upgrading my OS thinking it was too far out-of-date (I was running Snow Leapord 10.6.8). Anyway, I've since updated to El Capitan (10.11.1). Still no launch. Ran Disk Utility. No launch.

 

After some Google-fu, I ran across an issue with the game and sound card. In these cases, plugging in a mic seemed to fix the issue. I've tried this and still haven't had any luck.

 

Sorta at a loss at to what steps to take next. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

After some more digging, I ran across the most recent reviews on the App Store for COD4 and it seems like a pretty widespread problem (last few pages of reviews). Suppose I'll just have to sit tight for Aspyr to push a fix.

 

... seems like a known issue: http://blog.gameagent.com/should-mac-gamers-update-to-os-x-10-11-el-capitan/

Sorry for the numerous self posts, but this seems to possibly explain the problem that arose 2-3 weeks prior: http://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles/204669814--SUPER-IMPORTANT-Info-for-users-on-OS-10-7-or-older-

 

"In a series of upcoming updates, some of our games will no longer support OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion)."

 

So I've upgraded and run into the other issue mentioned above (with OS X 10.11.1).

 

*sigh*

Here's the topic that Mandi made and it seems like he had the same issue and fixed it

Thanks for the reply/link @wolfie! I'm gonna try reinstalling again now, although I think my new issue is self-inflicted (by upgrading to El Capitan too hastily).
