open terminal copy and paste this xattr -cr with a space at the end and then open finder and drag your squid game application into the terminal and hit enter should do the trick. However, you're still not gonna see any servers cause the games broke.
LISTEN GUYS, LISTEN ! I managed to make the 1.31 work under linux. There are two files missing in the package.
steam_appid.txt with content 1782210
just create this file (in your favourite text editor) in the root of your game and put said number on the first line.
Then there is missing 'CrabGameLinux_Data/Plugins/libsteam_api.so'. This file was part of the previous version (1.29) so copy it over from there, but I guess it could be found on the internet somewhere if you don't have the package anymore.
i can open the game on m1 macos monterey, and when its on the title screen, its all fine, but when i move my mouse over to click play, or settings or anything on the screen, it takes alot of time for the game to realise that i brought my mouse there, for example when you hover your mouse over play, the letters get bigger and turn yellow, for me its delayed. Everything i click is delayed and the response time is like 10 seconds. if i spam my mouse on the refresh button for example, nothing happens, but 10 seconds later, i see the button flashing and i hear the button clicking noises. also this happens to everyone else but i wanted to say i dont see the servers pop up, it loads forever and freezes and lags sometimes when the little loading circle is at the top. any ideas?
you probably wont see this but can you please make this for windows ik its on steam but i dont have steam for reasons PLEASE i really wanna play this with my brother
You have to right click the game and press show package contents, then you go Contents-MacOS where you will see Crab Game. You then open terminal and type "chmod +x" add a space then drag Crab Game there and press enter, you then will be able to open it up.
You don't need bootcamp, just download the 64bit version even on M1 and if you get an error saying you can't open the game just open the terminal and enter:
sudo chmod -R 755 /Users/jc/Desktop/Mac_64bit.app
Drop the app after the 755 and it will enter the path automatically. You'll then be able to open the app normally
fyi i tried parallels and if you change the time to before or while you had parallels then the time will be the amount of days that you changed it before you got paralells
Both apple packages are broken (tested on m1 mbp) and steam version for mac is outdated :(
In this version binaries are not executables To fix this you can do `chmod +x macos/Crab\ Game` and same in _CodeSignature\ directory. After that make sure to de-quaraninize app (google for that or see Install Instructions) cause we changed a signed package.
But it's actually pointless cause actual version is 1.3 and one in here is 1.29, so...
I can actually play the game now on mac. However, its really REALLY laggy. Whenever I press a button, it takes 30 seconds or so to actually move. I'm on a mac mini (m1) if that helps.
Turn down the resolution. The same thing happened to me, tried turning down graphics but nothing worked. As soon as I turned down the resolution it worked like a charm.
Download the Crab Game (Mac 64bit) 1.29 version even if you have an M1 and run it through the terminal the first time, you will then be able to open it every time and it works perfectly well on my m1 macbook pro. I had to turn down the resolution because it was extremely laggy at first but now it's running at 60 fps with still a high resolution

Dani I cant join lobbies and create games in 1.326 mac :(
i cant join the server
Ayy, He updates it but how do I see servers
Mid 2011 iMac running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
Mac forces me to trash the game, says it's damaged and can't be opened.
Outdated on my end or error with the game?
edit: i think it just doesn't work on this mac, because i tried the command provided, it let me open but it immediately crashes
Yeah mine is saying the same thing on 10.15.7 Catalina
open terminal copy and paste this xattr -cr with a space at the end and then open finder and drag your squid game application into the terminal and hit enter should do the trick. However, you're still not gonna see any servers cause the games broke.
has anyone using Mac can play this game? if yes pls tell me howwww
edit: the libsteam_api.so from the previous version does not work
edit2: libsteam_api.so from this package works https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET/releases/download/15.0.1/Steamworks... YAYKS

TUTORIAL TO OPEN THE GAME ON MAC M1:
-Download the 64bit version even if you're on mac M1
-Open the terminal and enter:
sudo chmod -R 755 /Users/jc/Desktop/Mac_64bit.app
Just change the path with your own game location by dragging and dropping it after the 755.
You should be able to open the game normally now
If you need additional permission to open unidentified developer's app, just follow the simple additional instructions in this video:
If the game lags after you open it, just lower the resolution a little bit and it will work perfectly.
I am able to get in the title screen but I can't join any games
Steam must be running
I tried steam, and I still don't see any servers
Open the steam version of the game, close it and then open your own downloaded game. It works
bro, you cant even download the steam version on mac. thats the whole reason this page exists
Have you got it to work?
It works perfectly well but now 1.32 is out so we have to wait
Can i have some help cus i dont know what u mean by path and when i type in the [path it doesnt work
Just drag and drop the game in the terminal window, the path will appear automatically
Okay nevermind I can't even join a game anymore....

i c a n t f o r r e a s o n s
does anybody know anything about the new update?
no.
hope this helps
bruh
I'm using mac monetary, is it not supported?
Same, what error do you get?
The application “64bit” can’t be opened.
You have to right click the game and press show package contents, then you go Contents-MacOS where you will see Crab Game. You then open terminal and type "chmod +x" add a space then drag Crab Game there and press enter, you then will be able to open it up.
And now it says that it's damaged... :(
how to download :(
wait for dani to update the mac/linux file
You can alwways use boot camp through Mac. Learn how to install it there are many tutorials on YouTube
not on M1 bootcamp isn't compatible
Ohh right cause I'm on late a 2013 model and that's what I do whenever I play video games forgot about that, sorry
You don't need bootcamp, just download the 64bit version even on M1 and if you get an error saying you can't open the game just open the terminal and enter:
sudo chmod -R 755 /Users/jc/Desktop/Mac_64bit.app
Drop the app after the 755 and it will enter the path automatically. You'll then be able to open the app normally
fyi i tried parallels and if you change the time to before or while you had parallels then the time will be the amount of days that you changed it before you got paralells
dani pls update ;(

same
istg my friends literally on pc playing rn and then i'm here and just 0_0
1.3 ples
pls chain
pls
pls
waiting dani
1.3 where u at
Both apple packages are broken (tested on m1 mbp) and steam version for mac is outdated :(
In this version binaries are not executables
To fix this you can do `chmod +x macos/Crab\ Game` and same in _CodeSignature\ directory. After that make sure to de-quaraninize app (google for that or see Install Instructions) cause we changed a signed package.
But it's actually pointless cause actual version is 1.3 and one in here is 1.29, so...
how did you get it working with m1...
@awsomeSC same with me and I dont no how to fix it
I can actually play the game now on mac. However, its really REALLY laggy. Whenever I press a button, it takes 30 seconds or so to actually move. I'm on a mac mini (m1) if that helps.
Enable v-sync and\or decrease max fps to match your display's refresh rate
Turn down the resolution. The same thing happened to me, tried turning down graphics but nothing worked. As soon as I turned down the resolution it worked like a charm.
TYSM, you're a lifesaver :)
How did you manage to get it? all that happens when I open both versions is "cannot be opened"
Download the Crab Game (Mac 64bit) 1.29 version even if you have an M1 and run it through the terminal the first time, you will then be able to open it every time and it works perfectly well on my m1 macbook pro. I had to turn down the resolution because it was extremely laggy at first but now it's running at 60 fps with still a high resolution
what do you mean run it through the terminal?
Do what he does in this video, I did it and it somehow works perfectly now
Maybe it's because I'm on macOS Monterey or I'm on the new MacBook Pro, but I just get the error
The application “Mac_64bits” can’t be opened.
@NayamAmarshe what do I have to do im confused
1. Download Steam from https://store.steampowered.com/about/
2. Login and open steam.
3. After steam opens, in the menu click on View->Settings->Steam Play and check the 'Enable Steam Play for all other titles'
4. On steam search for Crab Game, install it and play :)
@Uzi.D prob today
@cadoozle look it up on youtube it is on there
When will 1.3 come out
