[MacOS: Can't launch CoH from Island Rum (or install the official launcher)]

1. Make sure you have the newest Mac Installer from https://islandrum.eekstudio.com/mac-installer.zip

 

2.  If you Get Info on your CoH folder, what do the permissions look like?

Hi Manga,

 

Thanks so much for your reply =D

 

The CoH folder had all permissions turned to Read & Write for all users and applied to all sub folders. I also updated my OS to Big Sur and experienced the same issues.

 

However, after much spelunking through the forums I discovered that another user bypassed this issue using bootcamp which I completely forgot existed.

 

Yesterday I was able to successfully partition my drive, install the windows client and log on to the game.

 

It is not the ideal solution but I found a way!

 

Thank you for all of your help and I will definitely try any new mac launcher builds that come out to see if I can get it running on my main partition.

 

So appreciative of what you guys do!

 

All my best =D

Hi @WanderingAries Thanks so much for your reply =D

 

I have no AV on the system aside from whatever native protections are in place.

 

I have set every permission possible - have added every file with a variation of the name Wine to my accessibility and full disk access permissions etc. as well as the launcher and restarted. I have changed privileges in the info panel for every file associated with the game but nothing seems to change the issue. Is there anywhere else you would recommend that I change permissions?

 

I am really curious how @Voltak got theirs working =P

We solved everything

Manga and I discovered that it had everything to do with permissions 

 

Hi @Voltak and @GM Manga thank you so much for all of your hard work on this topic!
I am encountering the same issues that Voltak did and have followed all of the steps shown in this and other threads, to no avail.
I am on Catalina 10.15.7 and have changed everything I know how to change at a permissions level - including giving COH Launcher full disk access and changing the permissions settings for all package contents within the information pane.

Do you have any advice for a solution?
