Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
If I try to load the game, it crashes on startup, and I'm sad. Zero mods added.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yep. Happens 100% of the time.

Please try updating to MacOS 13.3.1 - that solved this for at least some MacOS users.

 

[NiJu77]

Nope. I have that version and it still doesn't work. I even reinstalled the game and updated, still nothing.

It's really sad, I really loved playing this game, but it just crashes on boot 1000% of the time now.

 

[AndrewT]

That report shows you have 13.2.1 not 13.3.1 - or is it that you have updated since your OP?

 

[NiJu77]

Yeah, I updated, uninstalled and reinstalled Surviving Mars, rebooted, then restarted the game. Still no luck.


Thanks..

Assuming you are on Apple Silicon, this will be the problem discussed here:

It is definitely weird that it affected ALL Apple Silicon users after a certain MacOS version came out, but only some were helped by 13.3.1 !

In any case, the fix would have to come from Apple again I'm afraid, as they caused it.

Sorry about that!
