Factorio Forums

Factorio fails to start on my MacBook Pro, macOS 10.11.6.

I have removed ~/Library/Application Support/factorio to no avail.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Factorio from Steam, to no avail.

Steam shows factorio Running for a second, then Running indicator disappears. There are no log files generated.

From the command line, it looks like the process does not start at all:

$ pushd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio ~

$ open factorio.app/
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/factorio.app.
