Launcher fails silently in OSX (Big Sur & Monterey)

[jamesixgun]

Attempts to launch the game via the launcher (Release or Develop) result in silent failure. The launcher downloads the current build, fails to launch it, then closes.

I found this bunch of stuff in the console (note: this is from an attempt to launch the Release version):

I don't know much about code, but I'm fairly competent with OSX and am happy to help debug. I updated to Monterey today, but got the same error (going back many weeks) on Big Sur too, with the same console messages.

I am experiencing the same behavior. I managed to work around it by downloading the MacOS ZIP from here https://openrct2.org/downloads/develop/latest, and transplanting the Frameworks folder from the ZIP version into the version installed by the launcher in Application Support.
Steps I took:

• Download ZIP from website and unzip (just unzip in Downloads folder);
• Open a terminal window and cd into ~/Library/Application Support/OpenRCT2/bin/OpenRCT2.app/Contents/
• Move the Frameworks folder to your desktop (or any other location)
• Change directory to ~/Downloads/OpenRCT2.app/Contents
• Copy the Frameworks folder from here to ~/Library/Application Support/OpenRCT2/bin/OpenRCT2.app/Contents/
• Remove the ZIP and OpenRCT.app from your downloads folder
• Launch the game from the launcher and enjoy :)

You may need to repeat these steps once a new development version of the game gets downloaded by the launcher.

[jamesixgun]

Thanks!

I “solved” this by building an app in the Automator. It first throws out my current develop install, then goes to the develop page and downloads the Mac install. It unzips the app, trashes the zip, and opens the folder where it put the new install. Pretty much everything the Launcher did except launch the game. Good times.

I also have this issue with a 2019 Intel mac. When following the workaround, I have weird font issues where lowercase "L"s show as a different character and some coaster tracks are in different positions than they should be.
