Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/212

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

App Store link

https://apps.apple.com/app/catalyst-black/id1525298433

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, there was none 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

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