Our icons don’t support 4K or Retina graphics. They just don’t have enough pixels. So, while our games provide a lot of fun, it might take a moment to find a setting that looks good on your preferred monitor. When you launch the game and the resolution window comes up, try this:

Unfortunately, something has gone wrong with the software Apple uses to authenticate apps. This is resulting in our games sometimes refusing to launch on the newest versions of MacOS. We aren't the only developer whose games are having this problem. We believe Apple will fix it soon. Until then, there is a workaround that should make your game work.
We apologize for this inconvenience, and we hope this gets you running until the problems with Apple’s authentication are fixed. Thank you for your patience! |

If the game will not launch or you launch the game and the graphics don't appear or look wrong, quit the game. Then go into Steam and turn off Steam Overlay. To turn the Steam Overlay off: Go to the Steam Menu in the upper left, select Preferences, UN-check the "Enable the Steam Overlay while in game.” Select Ok to save it. This fixes problems with a number of Macintosh games on Steam. |
