Same problem. Looks like it might be a problem in the AMD driver. Here's the crash log from the Paradox folder.

so running in admin mode is a workaround?
how do you do this on mac os?

 

[Pardope]

No matter what’s done game will not launch and it was after the steam update when the problem first started. What’s surprising is so few posting about the issue

No matter what’s done game will not launch and it was after the steam update when the problem first started. What’s surprising is so few posting about the issue

Created an account to x2 this. Was on latest/greatest Catalina running it with no issues, Steam update happened and now it won't launch no matter what (which seems strange because even trying to launch it w/out Steam it fails... not sure I understand why on that bit).

Have tried to launch via Steam
Have tried to launch with: `open /Users/carl/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/ImperatorRome/binaries/imperator.app`
Have tried to launch with: `sudo open /Users/carl/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/ImperatorRome/binaries/imperator.app`

Interestingly trying to launch the app itself (inside the macOS .app directory) at least provided a bit of output....
`/Users/carl/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/ImperatorRome/binaries/imperator.app/Contents/MacOS/imperator` (with and w/out sudo) results in:

Not sure that is related, but figured I'd throw it up here. I suspect its just missing `\` before the space in "Application Support" in some print statement in whatever shell script but.... who knows?


And to be nice and official:

Description of problem
Same as everyone here

It seems (as unlikely as it is) that the problem presented itself after the Steam update.

so running in admin mode is a workaround?
how do you do this on mac os?

Not sure where you saw anything about running as admin fixing this issue, but it is not possible on Mac.

Hello,

This seems to be an unfortunate bug in Apple's OpenGL shader compiler. We have implemented a workaround in the game for the coming 1.3 Livy update, but for 1.2 Cicero you can do the workaround yourselves by downloading the attached zip file, exctracting it, and dropping the contained file pdxgui_sprite_base.fxh into the clausewitz/gfx/FX/cw folder inside the game installation directory. When macOS asks you if you want to replace the existing file, choose Replace.

Thank you so much! It worked brilliantly. Much appreciated that you took the trouble to fix it ahead of the next update.

worked for me as well! thank you. back to rednaxelA

Is this the solution for Tyranny: Archon Edition? I am unclear as to what game this solution intends to fix — or does the solution apply for all?

This solution applies to the game that this forum relates to, no other. Tyranny was written by a different studio on a different game engine, is unlikely to have the same problem, and will certainly not have the file linked above that needs replacing for this workaround.

It is laughable to imagine Apple as responsible for not only updating their systems, but for also testing the countless programs made by third parties for run quality.

No one here said that Apple should have tested this or any game on 10.15.1 before its release. Nevertheless only they can fix the problem.

Not only is Imperator the only game that has this behavior after the update- it's the only PARADOX game yet you try and claim it's Apple's fault and they should be testing your products and Apple needs to fix it? If you don't want to honor your warranty and do customer support just delete the forums rather than trolling us with your vile responses.

Imperator already has a player base problem and now those that want to play can't and you are single handedly doing your best to drive those numbers into the ground. Way to kill a potential game franchise.

Also as not only a long time player of Paradox games but as a shareholder your generally contemptuous attitude towards customers is a big part of the problem.

 

[Thyfus]

The patch with pdxgui_sprite_base.fxh works fine for me. Thx!

That is not true, Surviving Mars has had a similar report. Naturally I can't speak for non-PI games.

yet you try and claim it's Apple's fault and they should be testing your products and Apple needs to fix it?

That's what one of the game's developers says, as you can read in this very thread. On what basis do you disbelieve them?

If you don't want to honor your warranty and do customer support

You've been provided with an operational workaround in this very thread. That is precisely delivering customer support.

The patch posted by the developer is the appropriate, expected and only needed response. It's all we should have gotten.

A contemptuous attitude towards customers with blame shifting and trolling customers is downright poison to the community and company.
