My condolence that you bought the new M1 MacBook. If you can return it, you should do it. The new M1 MacBooks are well-known to be shit with less software running on it than on the old Intel-based books.
The game engine NW.js doesn't support ARM based processors yet, that's why the game and the plugins crash when you try to launch the game. However, here are some options you can try:
- Try to launch the game via your browser using "index.html" file (inside the resources folder (right click -> show package content)).
-> Try the new NW.js engine build for ARM: Download from here
You must be registered to see the links
-> Sign up on NLT's patreon page and get access to the web-based version (stream-to-play; saves are then stored as cookies then.)
-> Get a cheap laptop and install Linux.
Good Luck.
Click on the crystal ball and check the bottom; there you will find the game version.
If you have v71... already either download all update-only files from 71...to 87... and manually apply the updates in chronically order or better download the last full build v87061.
