Summary​

Cities Skylines will not launch and instead gives me an error message about a Javascript error in the "main process".

Expected Result​

I expected that Cities Skylines would launch up and load up the menu.

Actual Result​

Cities Skylines does not launch and instead, a long-winded error message pops up.

Steps to reproduce​

I downloaded CIties Skylines (deluxe) onto my computer (running macOS 11.7) from Steam and clicked play. The Paradox Launcher would then appear to the dock open. There was no screen of Cities Skylines, but rather there was an error message, which is below in the Optional > Description textfield.

Platform​

This may be a bug in the launcher, which seems to require MacOS 12 now. Were you at all thinking of updating MacOS? If so please do that and confirm for me that it helps, then I can report that to the developers.
