Summary:
The game doesn't start running, just keep displaying a black screen at launch.
Cause of bug:
If you're using Mac OS X, open up Console.app and search for ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log This is where Rimworld puts all logs like this
http://t.co/EKlQBg77Lr
So it turns out the game is freaked out since there are no appropriate translation files, in my case Japanese. Some others might be other languages.
How to fix:
Just simply remove the translation from your installation by...
1. Open your Rimworld.app by right-clicking it and choose "Show contents of package" or something like that
2. Navigate to Mods/Core/Languages
3. Remove or rename the folder that is causing the problem. You can check which folder is causing the problem by investigating the log file I've mentioned before. If you're not sure, just remove all folders other than English might do the job.
Hope this helps!
