Is this only available on mac versions 10.3 and later? im on 2017 macbook and im unable to play

You need to have steam downloaded, running in the background, and the latest version of crab game installed on steam, play it once using Proton (google it) and then follow these instructions:

click this link to download steam api and extract the files into "CrabGame_Data/Plugins"

https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET/releases/download/15.0.1/Steamworks...

Next you need to go where the Actual thing you click on to play it is located (executable) and save a .txt file (text document) called steam_appid.txt with this number in it:

1782210

Now you need to attempt to run the game, if it fails, follow these instructions to allow the game to run on your mac.

Let me know if this works. I'm doing a youtube tutorial for the linux version check out my channel here.

Seems like proton is not supported by mac. Can you explain more about that part because it is super confusing.

Those instructions are for Linux. Follow this guys guide for Mac:

You need Steam running for Voice to work. See steps in link. If its super laggy for you, make resolution smaller in game graphics settings.

Works for me on 10.15 (catalina). Not sure if older versions work. YMMV.

yea thank you for helping him I didn't know Proton didn't work for mac so I shouldn't have said anything.

No problem! Your instructions are super helpful for Linux. I hope the version gets updated.
