Crashes on launch with mac

[annaklammers]

I'm running on Max OSX Catalina (I think,..whatever the most recent OS is). Steam had a warning message saying it "may not run" due to it being a 32 bit game and Macs can only run 64 bit games. But it always worked fine. Now, it launches and then immediately crashes. This only started happening with the latest update. :(

Hi! Sorry that you are experiencing this. I will ask the devs about this issue.

Same here. Crashes on launch in 100% of cases, even though first builds after release worked fine. MacOS High Sierra, 10.13.6

Hey Svafard. May I know if the CPU architecture of your Mac? Is it 32bit, 64bit, or Silicon? We only built it with Intel 64bit because one of our third party libraries does not support Apple Silicon yet. 32bit is no longer supported by the engine. I've checked the game with our Mac machine and it works. I'm hesitant to make changes as it may break on other Mac machines.

Core i7, 64 bit, 10.13.6. And the game worked fine when I bought it! It stopped launching a few patches in. After 1.0.15 I think.

Can you please run the game again and let it crash. Then send the logs to [e-mail]. The logs is the file found in Users/<your username>/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log.

This is so we can see what's causing the crash.

The crash was fixed for me with the last update. Thanks!

[Svafard]

Not for me, unfortunately... Stil crashes :(

How about updating MacOS? We don't really have the machine with your setup. We totally understand if you can't upgrade for some reason.

I updated it to the maximum that my Mac allows. It's a 2011 model, it can't go higher than High Sierra. I will send the Unity file, thanks. But by the looks of it, it doesn't even mention Academia, so I don't know if it will be helpful.

I see. Can you try the outdated branch? Follow the instructions here. I've pointed it to 1.0.15 which you mentioned was the last working one. Let me know if it still crashes.

I think it was 1.0.5, I misspelled. 1.0.15 crashes, I tried.

I've pointed the branch to 1.0.5. It should automatically update when you set the beta to outdated. If it works, this would be our temporary solution for now. We already upgraded our engine and we're reluctant to downgrade. We'll report this crash to the engine developer and hopefully we can get a fix.

Thanks! 1.0.5 works, while the later versions crash.
