Factorio Forums

Downloaded this morning from the "download full game for Mac" button at https://factorio.com/download.

Apple M1 Max, running Ventura 13.6.2

Any ideas?

Is the game installed on the same drive as the os?

I'm a relatively 'low tech' Mac user - I assume the answer is yes, because I believe that is the default.

Mechanically, installation looked like:

- downloaded it (to default mac "downloads" folder)
- opened the .dmg
- in the default mac window that pops up, "clicked and dragged" it over to the Applications folder

(aka the normal, default process for installing a .dmg on macbook, which has worked successfully on this computer many, many times)

superficially at least, seems like the same issue as this one from earlier in 2023:

The full text of the error is:

"factorio" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

Sorry, it looks like 1.1.100 skipped the notarization step (except for the Steam version). We're working on correcting this.

Apple reports that factorio_alpha_1.1.100.dmg should now be notarized, not sure if that means the error screen will go away immediately, but it should be fixed soon. Please report back, thank you!

That worked, thanks!
