Can't seem to install on MacOS #1359
Comments
I also had this issue. We will have to investigate what's broken. Sorry about that. |
I'm not sure why this worked, but I was able to install with the following steps:
I'm suspecting this has something to do with MacOS permissions? Hope this helps in narrowing down a possible fix. |
So the reason for this is going to be roughly something like this:
That probably means if you modify the app bundle before running it for the first time, the signature verification will fail and the quarantine attrib doesn't get removed. If you run it first and the xattr gets dropped, you can modify the bundle afterwards. There's also ways to override Gatekeeper if your user account has admin privs, etc. We have to change the install instructions accordingly. However, a better long-term solution is supporting to find & access the game data from outside the .app bundle to avoid the need to modify it, which of course would also make updating much easier and cleaner. |
I've now confirmed the above experimentally - running first before copying in the data is fine, copying in before first run causes the verification to fail and the "app is damaged" popup. |
This allows Gatekeeper verification to pass and makes it drop the quarantine filesystem xattrs, making it safe to copy over the game data afterward. If it's not done in this error, the OS will report the app bundle as damaged instead. Helps with issue LostArtefacts#1359, however a more robust solution would be to support loading game data from other locations.

Followed the instructions but get an error message when I try to launch the application. I do seem to be missing some files (I unpacked the Steam version's GAME.GOG using The Unarchiver) but I assumed those were specifically for the Expansion Pack.) See screenshots for the error message and my folder structure. I'm on an M2 Pro Macbook Pro and MacOS 14.4.1. Using the latest .dmg (tested the pre-release and a couple older versions as well, same result.)
