Rocket League Mac won't launch

[Rizzden]

Hey y'all, I'm a MacBook Pro guy who just played at noon today, nine hours ago. After arriving home at 6 PM, I updated Steam, and now the game doesn't launch (not sure if that's the reason but anyway). After I click Play, Steam displays that I'm running the game for about 3 seconds, then automatically quits.

I've already tried:
-verifying the game files
-clearing my download cache
-deleting the "appcaches" folder
-adding a "steam_appid.txt" with 252950
-opening Steam in offline mode
-reinstalling Steam AND Rocket League
-updating and restarting my computer, etc.

For reference, my specs are listed below:

macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB Memory
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB

Any ideas?

You might try resetting your NVRAM (Command-Option-P-R) and see if it works then.

Just tried, didn't work unfortunately. Though I'm not quite sure I did it properly.. as long as I held down the keys (even beyond 20 seconds) the apple logo never showed up and the computer continuously rebooted so I just decided to release them after that.

Same problem for me after the latest steam update. I was able to get the game to launch via CLI

iMac:~ USER$ /Users/USER/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/rocketleague/RocketLeague.app/Contents/MacOS/TAGame
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; no appID found.
Either launch the game from Steam, or put the file steam_appid.txt containing the correct appID in your game folder.

It launched, and my controller worked, and I could join groups and play with friends. I played for about 50 minutes prior to it crashing.

Steam still will not launch the game. Too late to ♥♥♥♥ around with it anymore tonight.

Ok, so I submitted a ticket to official RL support last night. Here's their reply:

"I truly appreciate that you have taken the time to bring this startup issue to our attention. Thanks to you and your fellow players who have reported this, our team is already investigating a solution. Though we do not have a specific estimated time for a fix, rest assured that we are on top of it. In the meantime, your patience is greatly appreciated."

I've tried all that as well. I'm glad that Psyonix is on it. They're great. They got the workshops working on the mac. So I trust they'll get this sorted quick.
