Game won't start (Mac)

[jpahl]

Ever since upgrading to macOS Catalina CK2 won't start. I just keep on getting the message "An error occurred while updating (unknown error)", and from my understanding the game should now be compatible to 64-bit, so i'm kind of confused as to why it still won't start.

I have searched the forum but i can't seem to find any thread telling me a solution or in case there is a thread with a solution i would appreciate a link to such a thread

I'm having this same issue. Is it because the lack of support for 32bit executables?

Are you part of any beta branch of CK2? Opt out of it, let it patch, restart Steam, verify CK2 files and restart Steam again. Also clean Steam Cache. Maybe it still contains information somewhere that CK2 is 32bit?

This happens to me as well. Not part of any beta. I've tried going back to the 64-bit betas as well, still the same error.

You no longer need to use any beta, the public release 3.3.0 is 64bit.

And yet it still doesn't work.

And yet it still doesn't work.

With that same "unknown error"? Because that is specifically when running a 32bit app on the 64bit-only-OS (or vice versa in fact!).

I am getting the same steam error message. game is newest version, tried everything.

Are you sure that Steam itself is 64bit? Because apparently you have to manually install it, that doesn't happen automatically:

yeah mine is 64 bit. I manually deleted the old one and downloaded the new one.

Well, we know it works, as you can see here:

What is different for you is hard to guess! Do HOI4, Stellaris and EU4 run okay?

Yeah other games had no issue.

I tried to delete the game and redownload it again today and now it works (not sure why it wasn't fixing it earlier but I'm not complaining).

I managed to start the game manually by using a terminal window. After I did that, the game runs as intended, strangely enough.
