Stepmania compatibility with OS X 10.10

[SCWolf]

Currently Stepmania 5 is crashing on startup on OS X Yosemite. It's not a huge deal for me to not have it on my laptop, it's just nice to have while I'm away from home and want to play a bit.

Was wondering if anyone else here is using Yosemite Beta 2 and has found a workaround for Stepmania compatibility. If not, it's not a big deal. Just curious.

Also I'm not going back to 10.9 because the performance improvements on Yosemite are fantastic.

For anyone curious as to what the error is, here's the crash info.

Re: Stepmania compatibility with OS X 10.10

Known bug, not just you. No known workaround at the moment. It'll probably require someone who is actually good at OSX programming to fix, unless this is on Apple's end.
