Well, I assumed that Mac stores the logfile in the same location that
Linux does. Just search your system for UnrealTournament.log and it
should show up.

In that case, I'd tell you "type 'this and that' in the UT console",
not "check the log file".
Please, next time, think about the way you post. Many people don't
think about this and put their reply at the top of their post, quoting
all of the original post below it. Now take a look at this:

In the English speaking world we read left to right, top to bottom.

If people do it the other way around, things will clear up instantly:

The best response type is "in-line" posting, that is, remove all the
quoted text that does not apply to your response, adding your comments
in context underneath as you go.
The distributed nature of Usenet is causing that not everyone sees all
posts in a particular thread in the right order or or even at all. If
you make sure you put your reply in a top-to-bottom order, people will
be able to easily read through it from top to bottom.
Be sure to remove all excess quoted text though. There is nothing more
annoying than having to scroll down three pages of quoted text you
already read, just to read a two-lined reply ;-)
