[2023] Mac Paradox Launcher spins for a few minute then crash on start

A launcher issue cannot cause a crash while playing, as the launcher is long unloaded by that point. These will be separate issues.

I don't see in those log files anythign to explain your launcher problem. What MacOS version do you have? It will need to be 12.x or newer now.


As to the game crash, We are seeing crashes on Macs since the recent patch. Sorry about that!

Please make a new thread in Bug Reports, and attach there a save file that shows this problem.

You could try deleting the launcher folders again, but then install it from this updated installer
