Hi I'm hoping to get some help with the Mac version of the game. I had the release prior to today's open and running fine. Then I went into Library/Application Support/TalesofAndrogyny to add in the Full Save file found on the front page. After this the app would never open again and I continually got error messages, upon deleting and redownloading it started saying I didn't have permission to open (which it had not said previously). Found a way to go through Terminal and do the (sudo chmod -R 755) method discussed on this form to bypass and grant permission. Told my Mac it's ok to open, but now all that happens is the game icon will flash for a second and then disappear. This happens with both the old version and the just released version.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix I'd really appreciate it!
Not super tech savy so learning as I go but one thing I did that may have messed things up is after getting those first error messages upon adding the save file i deleted everything off my computer in an attempt to redownload and start over. This includes the Library/Application Support/TalesofAndrogyny folder that housed the saves. Tried putting it back to see if that would help from my trash but then it just dissappeared once I dragged it into Application Support. Other than that updated my computer and redownloaded the game several times to no avail. Thanks!
Can't really tell now what's going on your Mac, but some general tips might be useful.
There's a difference between
~/Library/Application Support and
Library/Application support. The first one in in the root of your home directory, the second one in the root of Macintosh HD. Be sure not to mix them up.
Stay away from
sudo unless it is really needed. Just chmod -R 775 would be enough in this case.
Folders shouldn't disappear when you put them back. Maybe you dropped it inside another folder by accident. If you want to search for it, you can do so with an application like Easyfind (made by Devontechnologies, their Mac apps are under Needful Things). Spotlight is useless for serious searching.
That said, for clean installs it's best to remove the folder from your library. The game will make a new one if needed.
If you want more details of what's going on, delve inside the ToA app (right click, show package contents) and go to /Contents/MacOs. There is the actual executable. Doubleclicking that should open Terminal which in its turn should start the game. If it does not, you will get at least some feedback of what's happening under the hood.
It also is a good idea to see if the app is not quarantined by Gatekeeper in spite of you telling MacOs you want to open it. In Terminal, type "xattr " (without quotes) and drag the app inside the window and hit return. If you see
com.apple.quarantine in the results, the app is quarantined.
