For Linux Users, after installing the game and extracting the .zip folder; make sure Steam(normal linux steam not the one using WINE) is running in the background after that open the installed game folder and before opening the game application go to the properties of the game application and click on the permissions tab and make sure "allow this file to run as a program" is checked and then open the game application normally and you should see the server list with the available online servers in your region and should work pretty smooth. this worked with me figured id tell other people.
You have to install crab game (windows version on mac yes) and then launch the one you installed from here and steam will recognize it as crab game and everything will be fine
Dani needs to update the mac version though because its currently at 1.28 and 1.29 is out
It works, just download the game on steam and launch the game on Steam. (you must have this version downloaded and itch.io active). For some reason, you cannot create lobbies though.
i cant get it to open. when I try, it opens for a split second, then closes. any help would be appreciated :) (btw I'm on iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) version High Sierra 10.13.6)
from what i now proton need vulkan to work so first verify if your gpu has vulkan support then try using a proton version 6.3-7 https://www.protondb.com/app/1782210
Make the size SMALLER go to navigate to Setting and click Video and click Resolution and choose a smaller size that you are Comfortable in and turn off the Fullscreen Mode and BOOM! No lag I tried it out myself and I'm the one who found it.
Can you all stop complaining how the game doesn't work? He definitely knows by now, and is probably going to spend the next few days fixing this free game that he CAN'T EVEN TEST, because you're ALL complaining about it (and on the first day of launch, no less)
i understand how he cant test the mac version (kinda) but then again he can make a mac vm to test it on mac and use something like wsl to run the linux version still dont think everyone should complain like children tho

Dani Mac is working perfectly, I dunno linux but just saying that Mac is working multiplayer
Whenever I go to join servers, there isn't any server there. When I got sent a code and pressed join nothing happened.

hey yo get the game for Windows on itch or else you know the drill
there is a windows version on steam
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1782210/Crab_Game/
plz make it on window cuz steam version is terrible
yea
the itch.io version is the same thing
they all require steam anyway so it would make no difference
edit: spelling mistakes I suck at keyboarding
both would be steam version cuz multiplayer needs to connect steam servers
why is there no windows version:(((( i can't download steam becuase my parrent didn't allowed me to download it:(((((((((((((((C
just make a free steam account without your parents knowing, its that simple
you're 7-9 years old probably, you shouldn't even play this
im 11 :/
bruh
soooo i can sign up it if i age 11 or can't?
you need to be 13 or older, but nobody really cares
For some reason, when I open it, it just closes.
why couldnt you make a windows version :((((
