System.ArgumentNullException when launching via PartialityLauncher.Desktop.app on macOS

[kouwei32]

Launching the .app directly will cause it to quit almost instantly.

Launching via shell returns:

Unhandled Exception:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Then the process terminates. This is the only output.

Same problem in Linux (Arch) under Wine, with the same error message (other than my local paths being different). Dug in a bit, thought it might be related to deficiencies in winemono, so I tried native dotnet40 on a win32 winearch, which gave me a somewhat different trace:

Not sure if that's any more helpful.

Took a brief look at the code, and though I can see where it's complaining I'm not sure how to fix it. Maybe supply a default for GameManager::exePath or else validate it somehow? I don't know C#, other than it's familiar enough that I can read it. Much less try my own fix, since I don't have a Windows dev environment for starters.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Would be happy to test attempted fixes if you don't have a Linux or MacOS machine, as long as you can supply me a build.

Same issue, I have tried specifying a path in the command input without any success.

It's failing to load font "SystemFont.Bold" for a single button in the menu and then exiting after swallowing the exception with a try catch.
