Game crashes when selecting difficulty (OSX)

Trying to play BG1 on my Mac and I can't get past the screen where you select your difficulty. No error messages or anything, the game just crashes to the desktop.

    I tried filing a bug through Support but there is no way to send anything if you don't already have an account there. Smart! Here is the crash log I received. This is an easily repeatable bug for me. Any time I try to start a game, after creating or importing a character, the game crashes as soon as I select the difficulty.

    I was able to start a game by selecting the tutorial, but then the game crashed when I tried to save. For as much money as the collector's edition cost I would expect a lot better quality here.

    Same issue here. Downloaded BG1 on 1/28/17 direct from Beamdog. Running MacOSX 10.12.3.
    Can't even get out of the tutorial. Crashes right after going up the stairs for the first time. If I skip the tutorial, the game crashes when selecting difficulty level.

    I found a post with a solution on Steam's forums. Check this link: http://steamcommunity.com/app/228280/discussions/0/365172547947301199/

    I just deleted the file that the user mentioned and the game *seems* to work now. I was able to get through character creation and start the game. I haven't had time to see if the solution sticks but it seems okay.
