Can't get OpenRCT2 to run on M1 Macbook

[solomael]

I followed the instructions to download RCT2 on Steam on Mac with the console, and then I tried both the stable release and the OpenRCT2 launcher but neither one accepted the RCT2 files I downloaded from Steam.

With the stable release, I got the same error screen every single time, no matter what I tried.  I also tried older versions of the stable release but it gave me a longer version of the exact same error.  I attached both of these error messages.

The launcher gave me the much longer error message that I attached an image of.

I also bought the GOG version but I cannot find a compiled version of the software required to get the RCT2 installation on Mac so I didn't think that was the better option.

What should I do now?

I am having the exact same issue on my M2 MacBook. It may be possible that the new architecture classes it as an ARM version?

Just made an account here to chime in that I too am having this problem 😩

I would check the permission settings. Especially stuff like “Full Disk Access”.

I just added the launcher to my list of Full Disk Access applications, got this message.
