Mac Crash on Launch

[FallenFromGlory]

So, I've read a lot of threads of people saying their game is crashing on launch, and all kinds of solutions have been provided. From downloading and/or locating the XMA file, to running it from the game files directly, to my most recent test in patience, the sudo method. None of these are working for me. I've upgraded to the most recent OS for Mac.



Additional information: When trying to run the bash file directly, it seemed to be that the problem was that it was looking for something called the Users/MyUsername/.bashsessions folder, which doesn't exist, and I am unable to create one as it would be a system file. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you paste your error logs. According to the official forums they should be located here: ~/StardewValley/ErrorLogs

Also, in reference to the .bashsessions folder not existing, Macs hide all system files by default, and you have to go into terminal and input some commands to make them visible.

Here's a quick article that goes through how to show and hide system files.

I have no error log file. It was never created, as far as I can tell. When I type sudo chown (username):staff~/.config, I get



FallenGlory:~ mscsmsbsd$ sudo chown mscsmsbsd:staff~/.config
Password:
usage: chown [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] owner[:group] file ...
chown [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] :group file ...
FallenGlory:~ mscsmsbsd$



And when I run the bash, I get

Thanks for pasting what you had.
You were on the right track. You did have the permission issue.
"[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/Users/mscsmsbsd/.config" is denied."


You had the command to fix it right, but you missed a space.
It should be like this(a space between staff, and the tilde symbol):

sudo chown mscsmsbsd:staff ~/.config

[FallenFromGlory]

Oh my God, I'm so stupid. This is why you copy paste. I hate myself. Thank you so much.

[FallenFromGlory]

Umm, when I do it now, it says "No such file or directory."



FallenGlory:~ mscsmsbsd$ sudo chown mscsmsbsd:staff ~/.config
chown: /Users/mscsmsbsd/.config: No such file or directory

[MysticTempest]

Okay, use this command to create it

mkdir ~/.config

Then try launching the game.

[FallenFromGlory]

So, a run down on everything I did, for anyone else who has this issue.



I tried running the command, but it denied me permission. I tried giving myself staff permissions for my own user folder from the terminal, couldn't figure it out. So what I did, was go to my user folder, right click on it, and select Get Info. I unlocked the folder, and set "Everyone" to "Read and Write."



Then I created the thrice damned config file and now it works. Thanks guys for helping me, I hope Chucklefish gets around to patching this problem out, becuase it took me a week to get their game working.
