OS Error - Mac OSX

While going about my normal business in Torque this error appeared when I clicked to "play scene":

{

GAME STARTUP ERROR

'initializeProject' function could not be found.
This could indicate a bad or corrupt common
directory for your game.

The Game will now shutdown because it cannot
properly function

}

It then closes the scene without loading it and returns to the main stage.

I have reinstalled the whole Torque program and tried to play the scene on a brand new clean project. The same message appears no matter how many times I reinstall torque or where I install it on my computer.

I can go about adding behaviors and sprites but it does not help.

I have also checked the console log and no apparent errors appear.

Has any one else had this problem?

I am working on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.2 Leopard
and Torque Game Builder Pro 1.7.2 - INDIE License

This sounds like the error that people were getting with a space in the project name or path.

There does not appear to be any problems with the path

and

The problem is not specific for any individual project.

Try building your game project and running the resulting executable. If the built game does not display the same error, then it is indeed a problem with the filepath. You'll want to check all folders leading up to the game project folder, not just the project folder by itself.

I was able to build and successfully run the game so it seems that it is a problem with the filepath. However I don't know specifically what I need to be checking for or what to fix.
