[2022] "An error occurred' when launching the game [MacOS]

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK3 or Documents CK3 locations, before installing again.


**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Crusader Kings III/
To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .
The user files (settings.txt, error logs, saved games, gfx, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings III/ .


If those don't help:
Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log

Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.  

What MacOS version are you on? If it's less than 12.x that may be a current bug in our launcher.

If that is the situation would you consider updating to 12.5 to test this theory? If I can get confirmation of that problem I'll report it to the launcher devs then.  

Yami Yuli said: Hello, I have the same issue. I've reinstalled as you mention, it didn't help. I'm currently running on MAC OS Sierra 10.12.6.

Did you notice my post just before yours?  

No, it means the launcher has a bug that means it won't run under MacOS before 12.x , nothing to do with the game as such - you can run the game with ck3.app directly.

I would hope and assume this bug will be fixed in the next launcher version.
