Yep! Same issue here. MacOS 12.3.1. I was able to play about two minutes my first run through. Crashed right after my first berry and now closes itself after the Sokpop logo.

same for me

Hi, I have the problem that the game doesn't run well on my Mac. (Intel - not M1)

From the moment I'm in the menu the game reacts to mouse movements and clicks with a delay of several seconds (~5-7sec) (cursor moves don't have delay) and everything ist really slow. Does anyone else have this problem? Ideas how to fix? Or is it a bug?

2,3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
8 GB 2133 MHz
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB

[ur mom, lol, noobz]

I got this game recently and have been having this same issue on my mac but people are saying this is no longer an issue in the latest version? I'm a real computer idiot and have no idea how to possibly troubleshoot this so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So, it turns out, if you’re still having issues launching Stacklands, you actually need to let Steam use your microphone. I know, I know—it makes no sense, but here’s how to get it working:

1. Give Steam Microphone Access:
• Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone.
• Find Steam and check that little box to let it eavesdrop… err, I mean, launch the game.
2. Restart Your Computer:
• If Steam refuses to launch after you’ve graciously granted it mic access, just give your computer a good ol’ restart.
3. Launch Stacklands:
• Now open Steam and try launching Stacklands again. Fingers crossed, it should finally work.

Wait, Why Does a Card Game Need a Microphone?

Apparently, Stacklands is built on the Unity engine, which uses an audio system called FMOD. This genius setup tries to initialize everything—audio outputs, inputs, even the microphone—whether the game needs it or not. It’s like trying to start a car by checking if the radio works first.

Shoutout to GPT-4 o1-preview:

Big thanks to the AI brains at GPT-4 o1-preview for this bizarre yet surprisingly effective solution. Who knew getting a Unity game to work was all about… giving it mic privileges?

There you go—extra weird, but hopefully just as helpful!
