CS:GO Crash on startup through folder launch instead of Steam (Mac)

[JonasHuygh]

• System information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) in a gist:
• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Following up from a previous issue I posted (#3207) and a duplicate to several others, I have tried launching the game from the launcher (the csgo_osx64 file) which comes back with this in the Terminal console:

"/Users/jonash./Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Global\ Offensive/csgo_osx64 ; exit; Failed to load the launcher (dlopen(bin/osx64/launcher.dylib, 0x0002): tried: 'bin/osx64/launcher.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OSbin/osx64/launcher.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/bin/osx64/launcher.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), 'bin/osx64/launcher.dylib' (no such file))"

Does anyone know how to fix this issue as it seems I am missing the 'launcher.dylib' file?

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Launching the CS:GO executable file through the folder instead of Steam
2. Crashes

Hello @JonasHuygh, it looks like Steam calls csgo.sh -steam, and not the executable directly. From what I can see, this sets a couple variables that could matter. In particular export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${GAMEROOT}"/bin:"${GAMEROOT}"/bin/osx64:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I don't expect that running the game's executable from outside of Steam is supported, but using csgo.sh instead might be worth a try.

Thanks for the reply,

I cd'd into the folder /Users/jonash./Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike\ Global\ Offensive/, subsequently I ran the following command: ./csgo.sh -steam. This gives me the following response in the terminal app:
