Short description of error
Standalone Blendplayer Shuts Down

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
It shuts down completely when trying to start one .blend from another in the MAC standalone players.
Tried it with the "Start game actuator" and also tried with a python script. Same result.
I've tried using the most simplified file setup.

Relative or direct path makes no difference.

It must be in the "Create game engine runtime plugin". Shuts down completely.
Works fine when you launch the "standalone player" from within Blender.

I've been trying on Mac OS 10.68 and 10.91 (Blender 2.68 and 2.69)
(Did all the security allowances in Maverick just to be sure also.)

Here is some test files.
The "intro" file calls the "load" file with the "z" key.
shuts down.Test_Loading.zip

Can't upload the app file. Too large.

Tested this in linux and it is also failing.
The problem has nothing to do with the start game actuator. Loading the startup file, and saving as game engine also crashes.
I'd say the priority for this is high if one can't save executables.
@Moguri maybe this is for you?

The console output is this:
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'

Also,
Running from the console with './Intro':

guessing './Test' == '/home/stitch/Downloads/Test Loading/Test'  --looks good

Running from the console with 'Intro' (should work in slackware linux, current path is always searched too)

guessing 'Test' == 'Test/Test/Test/Test/Test/Test/Test/Test/Test/Test' --This crashes right after trying to load_game_data in GPG_ghost main, before the python error.

In Mavericks (10.9) I have tried some load linking tests with files.
The "absolute" file paths work fine but the issue is in the "relative" file paths.
It will not load the linked relative files.
Hopefully that will help focus this down a bit.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
Something in Mavericks seemed to have changed so the standalone ge needs to allow for whatever is different.

I just tested this in Linux (Arch Linux 64bit), and it seems to work fine. The error Brita mentions is usually due to not finding the correct Python lib folder (the one usually bundled in the 2.xx folder). Make sure you enable the Copy Python option to avoid this issue (it should be enabled by default).

The relative LibLoad issue is described in #25819.

Retested in Linux (Slackware Linux 64bits) and with the 2.70 release. Everything works (except running in the terminal without the './', but that is a different problem). I was copying python before, so I am not sure what the problem was, but it is gone now.

Tested in OS X 10.9.2, 64bits, also with the latest release. The embedded player is crashing when pressing Z.
I don't have any input in the terminal (not even the normal stuff I use to see in linux). I also don't have a development environment in the Mac yet.

Retsted in OS X 10.9.2, 64bits, with 490da48 the embedded player is no longer crashing.
I tested everything again and it does not crash, so closing.

I did some new testing with 2.71 on Mac using the standalone ge.
Tried linking relative files with a scene. (Still doesn't work on OSX 10.9.3)
Tried start game from file actuator (Still doesn't work on OSX 10.9.3)
The issue is in the Standalone calling files.
Please help.

Can you try with a daily build? https://builder.blender.org/download/

I've tried to run the file in a blender player standalone launched via command line on OSX Mavericks and the file loading worked fine (using daily build).

Closing again according to fsiddi's comment and my own tests.
Thanks for the report.

Well I tried the latest daily build and I'm still getting a shut down right as it tries to load the second.blend file.
