Hi there! I understand when you try opening Balatro+ on your Mac, the icon bounces twice in the Dock and then nothing else happens—no launch or error message, right? To help you better, could you let me know if you’ve already tried any fixes like restarting your Mac or reinstalling the app?
Meanwhile, here are some initial steps we can try to get this sorted:
1. Restart your Mac: Sometimes a simple restart clears whatever might be blocking the app from launching.
2. Delete preference files: On macOS, sometimes corrupt preference files cause apps not to open properly. - Open Finder, press Command+Shift+G, and go to ~/Library/Preferences/ - Look for files with names like com.balatroplus...plist or anything related to Balatro+ and move them to Trash. - Then try launching the app again.
3. Check permissions: - Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal). - Run this command (you’ll need to enter your Mac password if prompted): <br> chmod +x "/Applications/Balatro+.app/Contents/MacOS/Balatro+"<br> - This ensures the app has executable permission.
4. Look for crash logs: - Open the Console app (Applications > Utilities > Console). - Try opening Balatro+ again and see if any messages pop up related to the app. If you see error messages, please share them with me.
If these steps don’t work, there might be an issue with a bug in the game engine on your macOS version (10.15.7 Catalina), as some users reported crashes on launch with certain game builds. I can look into patch updates or suggest workarounds after this.
Could you give these a try and let me know what happens? If anything comes up in Console logs or you've tried any of these already, that would be helpful too!
