A happy face for an error message ha

can you try what this guy had to do?

Yes this works.

Instructions for terminal n00bs:

Open Terminal.app in Applications>Utilities

Right click on FlowScapeMac.app and "Show Package Contents"

Open the Contents folder inside, you will see a MacOS folder

In the terminal window, type cd with a space at the end

Drag and drop the Contents>MacOs folder onto the terminal window and hit return

Type:

chmod 754 FlowScapeMac

and hit return

jeez, i thought macs were supposed to be easier... anyways, glad you got it working!

Just to re-iterate... I had no such problem with the 1.1 download.

There must be an executable/permissions flag that got missed on your 1.2 Mac build.

This might be the problem?

FYI:

"Go to your Player Settings (from the build settings menu), and ensure that Mac App Store Validation is turned off - otherwise it won't play unless the game is bought from the App Store."

I tried this and it did not work. I am still getting the same error message. Any ideas?

I followed these instructions and it seemed to install but when opening, after splashing the name of the program there's nothing but the floating island background. I'm left to force quit.

it has to open several gigabytes of textures, could you make sure you leave it open for long enough? or try lower quality settings maybe?

let me know how you get on

Edit: setting the player to windowed mode has fixed some peoples problems

I’m having the same problem. I have to launch it using the separate software.

Just Downloaded and Bought software, and this fix isn't working for me. Also Invite to discord is expired or not working.

I am looking into this issue, thanks for letting me know, using the itch app can bypass using the terminal commands, please try that

Just bought it and I get the floating island and a spinning beach ball that just goes on and on . Had

to shut down the computer.
