The client crashes 100% of the time on startup and has for months now. I have cleared my cache, deleted everything from my SSD with Jagex and RuneScape in the filename, and reinstalled multiple times all with no luck.

Here's a Pastebin of the crash log.

Countless other users seem to have the same problem on the official forums:

Other than gEt a pC nO0b, can we get some kind of response to this?

This is fixed as part of a batch of macOS improvements coming soon

Can soon be like tomorrow? This is still a huge problem

Probably another month or so. It is not seen as a serious issue as most of us are not yet running Catalina, and previous macOS versions are unaffected

Gonna throw this out there and say I experienced crashes on a regular basis using Mojave. I've recently (2 weeks ago) upgraded to Catalina and experience a similar rate of crashes.

Yea there were a few things that could possibly crash any version of macOS. If you were particularly unlucky with hardware, other software and certain interactions you could probably trigger them quite reliably.

However the Catalina issues are on a whole different level, Apple removed some protection in the interests of performance, and it has broken many applications that did not do things precisely as Apple intended. Many open source projects were/are affected too by the changes in Catalina.

The primary issue I am referring to is the Catalina startup crash where approx 50-75% of game starts result in a crash before reaching the login screen. However this is not the only issue with Catalina.
