One line summary of your issue
Crusader Kings II does not launch on MacOS Bug Sur, Apple crash report says it's not compatible

Game Version
Don't know

What expansions do you have installed?
Jade Dragon, Monks & Mystics, The Reapers Due, Conclave, Horse Lords, Way of Life, Charlemagne, Rajas of India, Sons of Abraham, The Old Gods, The Republic, Legacy of Rome, Sword of Islam, Holy Fury

Do you have mods enabled?
Yes

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Upon updating my laptop to macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 as well as updating Steam, I attempted to launch CKII to no avail, it kept giving me an Apple crash report and the play icon would change to the "X Stop" button except I was unable to stop running it without having to quit Steam. I decided to check if CKIII had the same problem and it didn't.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Download macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 and attempt to launch CKII

I have the same problem and as far as I know, it is present in almost all Paradox games on macOS Big Sur. It caused by Apple moving a couple of libraries (this particular problem is caused by IOkit). I hope it will be fixed soon in an update for the game, but right now we can't do anything unless someone finds the original library files.

Here is the crash report:

I have already put up a support ticket. PDX is working on a patch, but no date was given. By the way, if you're playing through steam you can try geforce now. I find that it works very well
 
What's geforce?
The nvidia cloud gaming service. It works with steam, so you have all your dlc, although saves tend to be hard to transfer. It's free if you can deal with 10-15 wait before playing and a max 1 hour playtime per session, or 5$ per month. It's a reasonable temporary solution for me.

P.S. If your internet connection is anything less than perfect it will likely constantly lag
 
Still doesn't work...Paradox could inform us about this issue before the MacOS update, is it so difficult?
