Why When I Launch crab games from steam it gives me an error code " crab game quit unexpectedly and i deleted it and installed it again and same problem. Im on mac does anyone know what to do ??
apparently, you cannot make lobbies with LIMITED Steam Accounts(accounts that has not yet spent at least $5.00 USD within the Steam store) since Tuesday this week.
Dani has released on steam, the updated version for Mac and Linux builds. For me, I completely deleted Crab Game in Steam, and redownloaded it through Steam and simply pressed play, it worked with no server issues or version issues. If this is true for everyone, the download links above should be rendered obsolete along with my guide because there is no need to implement CrabGame in the steam folders anymore.
My Steam keeps verifying my files before lauching the game i.e. Steam replaces my replaced CrabGame file to the older version (the one you would initially download from Steam). Even if I uninstall, reinstall, then replace to prevent Steam from auto-verifying files it still pops up saying missing execute. I can run 1.3323 and 1.22 on their own (without any server showing up obviously). Pls help :(
Btw, Dani i've seen the "biography" of the game and if you need Linux or Mac, you can just dualboot Linux in your computer and install MacOS (hackintosh), even Linus Tech Tips did a video about it! And you'll have 3 systems at the same time! If you don't have enough drive, a 2TB SSD drive wouldn't be that expensive.
@Dani I will post this again, so it will be seen and hopefully fixed. Dani, please fix red-light, green-light map for mac. I get black pixels/shaders whenever I play this exact map. Basically I cant really see anything, just the grass 3 feet around me. Especially in Desert map and Hill map of red light, green light. Screenshot provided below:
However I'm stuck at step 3-4 of the decompression with The Unarchiver since after decompression I get only "64Bit" and not Mac_64bit and I'm therefore stuck, anyone have an idea of how I could fix this problem
i think it should be the same thing, note that was for past versions of crab game so dani might have changed the file names, however it should work exactly the same
ALL MAC USERS: Follow this tutorial and use Mac 64bit no matter what. I had zero success with the Mac Silicon version on my M1 MacBook Air, however using the 64bit version everything worked fine.
I made a fully-fledged YouTube tutorial for installing this game for M1 Chip and Intel Chip Macs.
Why the app doesn't launch?
The reason the app does not launch is because the executable inside the .app file does not have execution permissions.
The second reason is because the .app is made by an untrusted developer.
In this video there is all of the steps in this comment section combined. I also run this on latest macOS and M1 Mac mini so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues, also because it's running through rosetta so it works for intel too.
To fix this, use the command Dani gave: "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine [app path]". App path is the full name of wherever you installed the game (for it, it was "/Users/MY_USERNAME/Downloads/64Bit.app"). So the full command was "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Users/MY_USERNAME/Downloads/64Bit.app".
Open Terminal in the download folder and type the above command, OR select the game file in Finder, go to Finder > Services > New Terminal at Folder, then type "cd ..; xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine 64Bit.app". After doing this, I was able to open the game like in Step 8 in https://itch.io/post/4880634 (at this step, it opens but shows no servers). Then I followed Steps 9-11 and opened from Steam - servers now show and I can play.

Did you replace Steam version? You need to install old CrabGames from Steam. Then replace it with your new version file (rename it “CrabGames”). File is in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/common/steamapps/CrabGame.
Also make sure you run with Steam and keep it on in background.
I'm on Mac, and downloading the 64bit version, there's no option to open with The Unarchiver. I have it downloaded and open, but there is no open with option. I tried dragging the 64bit file into The Unarchiver but it says that the contents cannot be extracted with the unarchiver
I tried downloading the silicon version but the same thing happened

Crab game for Mac doesnt work. Gives error in steam executable missing
macos 64 doesn't work
why tho
Btw, Dani i've seen the "biography" of the game and if you need Linux or Mac, you can just dualboot Linux in your computer and install MacOS (hackintosh), even Linus Tech Tips did a video about it! And you'll have 3 systems at the same time! If you don't have enough drive, a 2TB SSD drive wouldn't be that expensive.
The "1.3323" release for linux is actually 1.3315, Dani, plsfix.
@Dani I will post this again, so it will be seen and hopefully fixed. Dani, please fix red-light, green-light map for mac. I get black pixels/shaders whenever I play this exact map.

I get the same thing
btw m vc doesnt work anf fixes. mac btw
I tried to follow the tutorial here: https://itch.io/post/4880634
However I'm stuck at step 3-4 of the decompression with The Unarchiver since after decompression I get only "64Bit" and not Mac_64bit and I'm therefore stuck, anyone have an idea of how I could fix this problem
Download through chrome.
i think it should be the same thing, note that was for past versions of crab game so dani might have changed the file names, however it should work exactly the same
File got changed to 64Bit unstead of Mac_64bit. Just change the name in the commands.
ALL MAC USERS: Follow this tutorial and use Mac 64bit no matter what. I had zero success with the Mac Silicon version on my M1 MacBook Air, however using the 64bit version everything worked fine.

The game works entirely, servers ARE findable and joinable. Just follow this tutorial accordingly.
Linux Users:
Proton version works better than native (for me at least)
Proton-6.3-7 works best.
what does this even mean
for me it doesnt lunch at all on proton
same
If someone has problems on Mac:
chmod +x 64bit.app/Contents/MacOS/Crab\ Game
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine 64bit.app
And if it insane laggs while starting up, try to go into the options (with patience) -> Videos -> Activate VSync and set a FPS limit
what does this even mean
where is it for system 32
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2na63nT32sa
version is outdated from itchio launcher, i get 1.3315 instead of 1.3323 on linux
Crab game on steam runs on Ubuntu/PopOS currently already if you use Wine and steamplay I believe. Runs fine with over 400+ fps on max settings lol
What's the proton version you use?
I tried to run it by proton experimental but it's working on 1 fps!🙃
Early response lol… Proton-6.3-7 works fine for me, 500+ fps max settings.
I tried 6.3 but the same problem happens :(
And I tried running the game just with wine and no problem happens but servers not working and I can't join/create any lobby
That’s strange.. Works fine over here with a GTX 1660ti with NVIDIA proprietary drivers.
Reposting tutorial steps for Mac
https://itch.io/post/4880634
Still works with 1.3323 for me on Mac Catalina 10.15.7.

2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
