Failure to Launch - Apple

[Karishi]

I'm running CoH 64-bit using Island Rum on Catalina on a 21.5 iMac.

Issue is new - within the last 24 hours.

Island Rum no longer actually launches the game. It seems to think it is doing so - If I have "Close after game launch" set in the Options menu then pushing the button to launch the game will close Island Rum after a small delay. If "Close after game launch" is off I can tell when it's given up because the green checkmark disappears after a few seconds.

No known updates/installations that would have caused this.

At one point it opened an Xquartz window that said a default had changed. I didn't write it down at the time and haven't been able to get it to open Xquartz again.

I've tried the Re-Scan option - no dice.

 

Can anyone else on 64-bit chime in letting me know if their game is working?
And more generally, does anyone have any ideas on getting it running again? It seems likely I'm back to "full uninstall/reinstall" but I'd rather save that for last if there are faster solutions to try out first.

There was a series of Apple updates last night. This morning CoH is working fine again. I'm going to assume someone pushed through a mini update that screwed up how Catalina interacted with Xquartz and then they fixed it as part of their patch.
