hey, I pushed out a beta build that should fix this issue. You can also try going to "browse local files" and running the app directly. Let me know if either of those work for you.

[mcguffles]

Im not sure how I would get the beta build (auto update? delete local files and redownload?) but running the game directly from the local files totally works! thanks!

If you could tell me how to run Proteus from Steam that would be especially awesome but Im already satisfied -- thanks again!

[langdon_alger]

tried the local file workaround and still no luck...any other ideas? I've already deleted/re-downloaded once.

nevermind, rebooted and got it to work.

[jonbro]

you can switch to the beta stream by clicking on the name in the library list, then properties, then the beta tab. hopefully that helps.

[mcguffles]

I tried the beta but to no avail. launching from the local files seems to work just fine though

I also tried making a non-steam game shortcut directly to the file but that doesnt work either

Hi! Just purchased Proteus and am so stoked to play, but am having the same problems. Just won't seem to run on Mac.

[mcguffles]

control click on Proteus in your library
click "Properties"
go to "Local Files"
click "Browse Local Files..."
double click Proteus app

hope that helps!

[PapayaPete]

I tried beta and launching from local files but no luck. Any other solutions?

[jonbro]

So steam just pushed out an update to the client that fixes at least one issue. Make sure you "check for updates" on your steam client, and turn off all the betas for proteus. If you are still having issues, email me with the crash report, the proteus.log files, and the version of osx that you are running.

you can find my email address on the official proteus forums in the thread about crashing on osx.
