Game not loading on macOS Sonoma

[zwolniony]

Hi! I updated my MacBook Air M2 to the new macOS Sonoma yesterday and I cannot start the game on neither 1.4.2 nor 1.5.1. beta. The launcher loads, and so does the title screen, but when I try to resume game or start a new one, it freezes on the loading screen.

As \Sonoma is just out, there may well be a compatibility problem here. I'm not on it yet to confirm.

What happens if you run victoria3.app directly from Finder?

If nothing helpful happens, Please do a full clean re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.

**File Locations on Mac OS X**
The executable and DLC folder are in Users/USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3/
To see it go to the Finder, hit command-shift-G (ie Go To) and type in ~/Library/ .
The user files (settings files, error logs, saved games, mods) are in /Users/USER/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/ .

Problem is that Empire Of Sin, starts launcher even from macOS binary directory, and can't play,
Launcher problem on Sonoma, requires start from binary .
Error is always same, as launcher requires x86 or ARM, and gets response "" empty string,
and that makes it fail..
