Yeah... I'm afraid that newer MacOS updates are causing issues with the game. We have a workaround but it's a bit technical. We'll try and integrate this into the future builds, but for now hopefully you can follow this:
1. Download the macOS ARM64 (STABLE, Normal) file first from https://nwjs.io/downloads/.
2. Extract and right click on the app, click on "Show package content".
3. Click into the "Contents" folder, and select all files and copy.
4. Go into GROVE app and right click on it, click on "Contents", and paste into the folder.
5. If the OS asks if you want to "Merge or Replace", click "replace". Do not launch just yet!
6. Go into "GROVE.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/package.json" (no quotes) by right clicking and choosing "open with: TextEdit" It should look currently look like this:
{
"name": "",
"main": "index.html",
"js-flags": "--expose-gc",
"window": { "title": "",
"toolbar": false,
"width": 816,
"height": 624,
"icon": "icon/icon.png"
}
}
7. change that to...
{ "name": "GROVE",
"main": "index.html",
"js-flags": "--expose-gc",
"window": { "title": "",
"toolbar": false,
"width": 816,
"height": 624,
"icon": "icon/icon.png"
}
}
...now use CMD+S to save!
8. Launch and hopefully enjoy
Nope, still doesn't work, I get into the game and it asks me the first question after begin adventure and this error comes up; Error: EROFS: read-only file system, open /private/var/folders/8y/kr_71p_j4rd21jd7ppym2g7w0000gn/T/App Translocation/A674C56A-B9AB-408A-A947-6D1D4D81A34/d/GROVE.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/save/persistent.rpgsave
