I do actually have a bit of an update though it's not a positive one ><.
We've been in contact with Apple and they've been able to replicate the issue and know what's causing it. It's unfortunately an integral part of the game code though and we can't fix this on our own, we need their help. What this means in reality is that they'll help us solve it at some point though we don't know when that may be. Don't worry, you're not forgotten, when I get more news I'll share it with you.

How to make this game runs on macOS Ventura:
just click the game repeatedly very fast, multiple times and the game will run

How to make the in game resolution works properly:
Use an app called EasyRes, download it from Mac Appstore, and it is free
 
And the funny thing is that, epic version works well, it is the steam version that keeps crashing and won't start up
I own the game on both platform, I just prefer the steam version for workshop and achievement

No sadly I gave that resolution app a chance but it hangs completely. We had a response from the dev team that they need time to fix it and help from Apple. Sorry, have to wait it seems. Hope it will be patched soon.

I was working on the ship and after 4 months came home to enjoy my vacation. Now I see that the game is not working on the latest macOS! Please do something, I will be back on board soon.

It works on the latest MacOS, as long as it is on supported hardware (ie Intel CPU). Do you have that, or an M1/M2 Mac? If the latter, the issue is between us and Apple, as mentioned above.

When will there be an update? I just purchased the game. I'll just request a refund from steam if there is no foreseeable cure.

M1 Max MacBook Pro - Ventura 13.2

I would seek that refund, as we simply do not know if and when the work we and Apple are doing on this together will bear fruit. Sorry about that!

This is really disappointing, keeping up with the latest OS ought to be a priority but I suppose I should be grateful Paradox released macOS games in the first place.

Again - this is NOT a problem with any particular MacOS version as such, it is a problem with later MacOS versions ONLY on unsupported hardware.
 
It turns out the comment on clicking the game repeatedly might not have been a joke. I was able to launch it by pasting an open command 10 times in the terminal:

(replace the user path with yours to do it, but it works...)

THANKS SO MUCH! I struggled a little with this exact command, but managed to get it working by doing this (via bash):


for i in {1..10};do ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Surviving\ Mars/MarsSteam.app/Contents/MacOS/MarsSteam;done
 
here is error, fails to set resolution, I think:
