Game wont launch after installing fix #5

Open Niko78a1 opened 3 weeks ago

Niko78a1 commented 3 weeks ago

Hello,

I followed the instructions to install the patch/fix, but after doing so, I encountered an issue where the game no longer launches. Specifically, when I attempt to start the game, the application icon begins bouncing in the dock but then disappears without opening any windows. The game functions normally again once I uninstall the patch.

I’m eager to resolve this issue so I can enjoy the multiplayer features.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Nikolai​⬤

I have the exact same error, are you running the Sequoia beta?

Exzh34 commented 3 weeks ago

Alright so I think I found a fix:

  1. cd /Users/[youruser]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Call of Duty Black Ops III/BO3MacFix
  2. Change to sudo user by typing sudo su you will be prompted to enter your password
  3. Run the "Install_BO3MacFix" by typing ./Install_BO3MacFix
  4. Install it (Unnistall and Install if you already have it)
  5. Profit!!!

Edit: Can confirm that this patch in fact works and I am able to run custom zombies image

I'm not quite sure what the issue is here. I've only been able to replicate it once and I wasn't able to pin down what caused it. The only thing I can think of is do you have the Steam In-Game Overlay enabled?

In a Terminal, you can launch the game manually, which should work fine, since I know it's a bug with my "launcher":

You can also try to double click the .app file in the game folder to launch without the Steam overlay, which may or may not fix the problem.

somehow the third launch was very fast using steam, i dont understand why

IIRC, I experienced this around the first or two times I started the game with the fix installed. My speculation about this is that installing the patch and running it for the first time prompts the system to verify the entire BO3 app. Who knows.

I do agree since I kept trying to run the game and it then launched three instances in the same time, So feels like they were all blocked by same process

That sounds very likely especially with the large disk usage. I'll see if I can have the installer bypass that process, it should already be clearing the quarantine value but I guess that isn't enough for every system. I'll also mention this in the FAQ so people don't think it's broken and that they just need to wait.

Out of curiosity is SIP enabled on your machines?

I usually keep it on, yes.

I had to do the same, but uninstalling while in su did not help. Had to first uninstall as a regular terminal user, then install in su, then it worked. Now it launches!

I'm on an M2 Pro running Mac OS 14.2.1 with the Steam beta version: (1724112952) if that helps. I use the Steam for Mac beta version because it has better controller support.

I have tried the fixes listed here and my game just bounces on the dock and never runs. My install is on a SD card formated in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

From experience, just wait for it to be validated since it takes a while based on your disk speed

After that it will launch instantly

kylejericson commented 2 days ago

I was able to fix this just like you said open it 2 times then it works. I did move it from my SD card to internal drive.
