On Linux: Delete binaries/data/cache. Run the game. Get an error:

/usr/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:375: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = RealDirectory]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.

vfs_lookup.cpp​ attempts to create the directory with mkdir. Two problems:

First: It appears to call mkdir("/.../binaries/data/") with subdirectoryName == "cache". Then it calls mkdir("/.../binaries/data/cache/mods") with subdirectoryName == "mods". It never actually creates cache, so it fails.

Second: If mkdir fails, then no error is reported, and the shared_ptr assertion occurs arbitrarily later. If it returns -1 and errno != EEXIST then the error should probably be reported immediately.

previous releases of '0 A.D.' had correct embedded version numbers on macOS. you could select them in the Finder and see which version you have installed. i've verified this worked correctly for version 0.0.18, 0.0.19, 0.0.22 and 0.0.23 versions. in technical terms, the CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString values in the Info.plist file had been set correctly.

however, this is broken in the '0.23b' release. now it claims to be version '0.0.X' which isn't helpful or correct.

here is the defect portion of your Info.plist file:

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>0.0.X</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>0.0.X</string>
