Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/213

UPDATE September 5: It will run on Nightly 53 so far

App Store link

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vainglory/id671464704

Current issues

  • Game fails to install
  • Game fails to open
  • Game crashes randomly during gameplay
  • Game does not work with keymapping
  • Game experiences graphical issues or broken UI
  • Game fails to connect to servers or complete download

More details

You can install the game with no error but when you try to open it, it fails to open.
No window will show up, you can't even click on the menubar items, it freezes and you will need to force quit it.

Tried IPAs from Decrypt Day and Decrypted AppStore, and also the one in PlayCover's IPA directory.

Tested on PlayCover 1.0.7, 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 - All have the same result.
My Device: M1 MacBook Pro 2020 13" on macOS 12.5.1

Crash log

Version 12.5.1 (Build 21G83)

I suspect this might be down to jailbreak detection again. Most competitive games would just refuse to work if they detect anything but a sane-looking iOS environment

I have confirmed that Vainglory works fine on Jailbroken devices.
So it's not the problem that creates this issue.

Latest update is from a year ago (currently paused developing) but I don't think that's the problem.
Vainglory and Catalyst Black (updated less than a month ago) are from same developer and both share the same problem in PlayCover

If the game is too old, it might not use Metal, and that is a problem.

Sideloadly can successfully install and run Vainglory with Apple ID signing. There is something wrong with it in PlayCover that causes the issue.

It will run on 2.0 (nightly 53 so far), so I close this issue.
