Error starting game, no log file generated

Post by arm000 »

Hi, I just purchased factorio and installed it for the first time on my 2016 Macbook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D102). On launch the game immediately exits, does not open any windows or draw anything to the screen. There is no log file generated, and the ~/Library/Application Support/factorio/ directory does not even exist. I do see all the game files in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/ I tried verifying all game files with steam and even uninstalled and reinstalled the game from steam, but I get the same results.
