MAC Version Missing Executable Fix

Originally posted by Irish:
MAC missing executable fix: Delete appcache in your users(your user name)/library/applicationssupport/steam folder. I am not sure rebooting is necessary. It seems to work either way. Click on the app itself. Mine is in applications. Don't try to start via Steam or via the alias on your desktop if you put one there. Works every time.

If you can't find your library you can find instructions on how to make it visible at apple.com.

You may have to do a Finder search for paranormal.app.
If you still have the 'Missing Executable' issue, please post here with as much information as possible.
Also, if you own the game and can't play on your Mac due to this issue, please email me at matt@paranormal-game.com. In the email, include your Steam name and your email address. I'll add your email address to the permissions list of a Google Drive folder containing downloads for the Mac version of Paranormal so you can download and play it until I get this Steam version fixed.
Thanks! -Matt

If it is still not working for any of you, I can provide you with access to a Google Drive folder containing the file for the Mac version of Paranormal. All I'll need is your email addresses to add to the permissions list of the folder so you can all download the game from it. Send me your email address to matt@paranormal-game.com (that way you don't have to post it publicly, just to be safe).

I've tried uploading test builds to my internal testing branch for Steam (basically my personal way of testing new builds of the Mac version downloaded from Steam without having them go live to all users). My results have been mostly the same, not running into this issue. I'm convinced that the problem either isn't present in the late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina, but is there in other Macs...or my Mac's Steam installation is somehow different than others. Either way, it just means the issue is harder to pinpoint and fix. But I won't stop trying to fix it.
