Game not opening on Mac

[Fullforce]

Hey!

Absolutely love the game, been playing it to death on my Windows PC. However, I came to try it on my Macbook Air (11", 2013) and the game will simply not run. I've tried 408 and 410, but they both open, sit in the dock, and do nothing. They require a force quit to actually close.

I've searched and cannot find any other topics with this problem. The 'Unidentified Developer' is not the issue, I believe, as I get that and have the option turned off in Preferences.

Any thoughts/suggestions welcome!

For anyone who finds themselves with this bug - it turns out the only way I can run the game is with root.

So on the command line, you need to run the app executable as sudo:

sudo RimWorld413Mac.app/Contents/MacOS/RimWorld

Hope this helps anyone down the line.

I'm also having this bug on Mac OS Maveriks, I tried changing to the applications directory and then using the sudo command in terminal and it says command not found. Also check that developer permissions were set to allow any application.

Right-click the application, choose to open it, and then click open at the warning dialog that pops up.

If you do not right click and choose open, the warning dialog will not include the option to continue to open the app.

it seems that the appstarter contained in the app need the executalbe flag.
do the following
1. unpack *.app
2. move *.app to the applications folder (if using personal in the userhome just change following path to <userhome>/Applications...)
3. open shell and navigate to app folder         cd /Applications/
4. confirm that you have the correct folder     ls RimWorld*.app    should find a result
5. drill down the rabbit hole (_{thaks to Fullforce for the hint})     cd /Rim<TabTab>/Contents/MacOS/
6 make it executalbe   chmod +x RimWorld
7 close the shell     exit
8 open the app by doubleklick
Hope that helps

Does it happen in other games/apps too? Is there anything we can do to fix this?
