Game crashes after i open it on a mac, cant figure out why.

I just got the game for my mac and every time i upload it, the game crashes after a few seconds, not sure why. To even open the game on a mac, i need to go to the game icon, right click, go to “show package contents,” “contents,” “macOS” and then click on the terminal icon. Then it opens for a few minutes and then crashes.  Thiughts?

I think it has to do with the Catalina OS.

If I remember right, they got completely rid of the ability to run 32bit things.

I think ive seen people solve it for this game by downloading either awbz's or whatever's client (mod).

Mac probably isn't supported.

I'd need to buy a new Mac to make that build, and spend several days getting it set up (new macs use a new compiler, not gcc, etc.)  There's also the SDL 1.2 library problem, which is 32-bit.  Switching over to a different SDL would require several weeks of work, and likely introduce many bugs.

Apple keeps breaking backwards compatibility.  They've been doing in my whole life.  I get why they do it, but it doesn't make it easy to develop for their platform.

Sadly, with the 4% of customers who use Mac (and the 96% who do not), I really can't justify the time it takes to keep chasing Apple.
