Game does not work on Mac

Sliskovic · 12-16-2020, 10:34 AM

The game automatically shuts down when trying to start a standard game and is unplayable as of now. I am playing on a Mac

I am having the same issues on Mac

Gudy2Shoes · 12-16-2020, 10:47 AM

I am also having the same issue.

For me as well on the Mac. After you hit "OK" at some point as it is loading it crashes. It does not create the game as when you open continue is not available but if you try to enter the same name for the it says the game already exists

Investigating this now, it doesn't seem to be happening consistently on all Macs (didn't happen at all when we did a final test earlier this morning), but something's definitely wrong.

I'm using Big Sur, and installed the most recent security update this morning before downloading the game.

Same issue on a MacBook Pro. Can create some games, can't create others, can import an FHM6 save, then it crashes randomly.

Very disappointing, I was so excited when I saw the release date and realized I was off all day today.

Is the Steam version having the same issue?

JeffR · 12-16-2020, 12:01 PM

Yes, it seems to be happening on both.

Good news, Sebastian thinks he's found it. Working on a quick fix for you guys.

Playing on mac as well, I set up a game, saved and quit. Then loading the save makes it crash to desktop.

Weird thing is loading with "continue game" works.

I cannot start a Standard Game; the game instantly crashes.

When I tried starting a Historical game it gets most of the way through the setup then crashes.

I've been having the same trouble. I am using a Mac running Big Sur.

Also playing on Mac. Game loaded fine and I managed to simulate through the first season, and created Seattle on July 1st. I then exited the game and closed the app, and when I loaded everything back up the game would crash every time I tried to open the save.

I'm having the same issue on Windows.

Im just happy im not the only one here with this issue

FHM 7 came out almost simultaneously to the latest Mac OS upgrade. Game crashes as soon as I try to launch a new game from the start screen. I suspect something needs to be tweaked to make FHM7 compatible with OS11.1.

FWIW, FHM6 works fine on the new OS11.1.

JeffR · 12-16-2020, 03:34 PM

Update fixing the problem is now out, it'll auto-update on Steam, and for Fastspring see the main forum for the download links.
