FS 22 App Store crashes

[rares]

Hey there,

I've got a MacBook Air M2 and I just bought the FS 22 from App Store, as I saw that is compatible with my macbook.
However, when opening Farming Simulator 22.app, the app stays in dock for 1 second, and after that, crashes, disappears, there's no logs and I even tried to open with sudo /Applications/Farming\ Simulator\ 2022.app/Contents/MacOS/FarmingSimulator2022Game
but returns zsh: trace trap

I even tried with Open using Rosetta option from Get info

Same here - I bought the game a week ago through the App Store, so before patch 1.11 - worked fine on my MacBook Air M1. Updated through the App Store, no longer starts. Downloaded today from the App Store on (very late) MacBook Pro Intel, doesn't start.

Oh and nothing is added to log.txt, last data in that file was from version 1.10.1.1 b25112 before the upgrade.

Yup, I know. I bought it right after 1.11 patch, so no first launch for me. log.txt doesn't get generated

If the game worked before, I’d suggest deleting everything in the Shader Cache folder.

This will rebuild them the first time you drive around the map (probably causing some FPS drops until everything is cached again).

I doubt that will help michaelr - as 1.11 also didn't work on a different Mac with a fresh install for me (never had seen FS before), or rares' new install.

And just to be clear it crashes *immediately* after double clicking the app, doesn't open a single window or menu. Mods and shader cache are loaded after selecting a single- or multiplayer game from the menu, confirming if you want to use Mods, but as we never get a menu that stage is never reached.

[michaelr]

Fair enough, it does sound like a bug with 1.11 then… maybe only the App Store version?

I still use an Intel Mac, and bought the game before the App Store version was released, so I hope someone else is able to test that combination.

However, I can say that the 1.11 update directly from Giants work on an Intel Mac. I hope you’ll get it working soon.

Yes so far what I've read (some people in the German language forum have the same problem) it's only the App Store version that has this issue. I've sent in a bug report, sent an email to support, and posted in the German forum as well. Now only thing I can do is wait...

[rares]

I just requested a refund from Apple and I'm going to buy the Steam version

I‘ve notified GIANTS about this issue and hopefully they will be able to figure out what is going wrong and fix it.

Not entirely true, mods and shaders are read at game start, and corrupted shaders have a bad habit of making the game crash at launch. That's why you'll often see deleting the shadercache come up as an early step in troubleshooting launching crashes. Corrupted shaders can lead to a few other problems too.

[paulH]

Thanks Noraf, understood! But can the shaders be corrupt after a fresh install on a Mac that has never had the game in the first place? As that's what I tried after a reinstall on my "normal" Mac didn't fix the issue.

[Noraf]

On a fresh installed version on a "virgin" machine, it won't, but a re-install they will still be present unless manually removed before.
