Is CK2 unplayable on the latest MacOS?

I get the error message - "an error occurred while updating CK2 (unknown error)" - when I try to start the game.


Ive tried using the beta patches, I've verified the game files and I've un- and re- installed the game. Is there anything else I can try or is that it until it's time to switch laptops?

Version 3.3.0 works fine on MacOS 10.15 , if that's what you have. However you'll need to ensure your Steam client is 64bit:

Hi, I ran into the same problem. I think it's a Steam bug, not a CK2 issue.

What worked for me was downgrading to the 3.2.2 64-bit beta, launching it, quitting, and then upgrading back to 3.3.0 (i.e. opt out of the betas).

To downgrade to a beta, just click the gear icon next to "Achievements" on the game's Steam page, then click "properties" and go to the "Betas" tab.

I don't know if this will work for you (or anyone else running into this issue), but it seemed to work for me.

This fix did not work for me

Did you get the same "unknown error" when you tried to start the 64-bit 3.2.2 beta?

I tried that, flicking few the different betas a few times and it didn't make a difference; but when I've tried it again today it worked so thanks!
