tmodloader mac stopped working after today's update

As the title states, in the last hour or so tmodloader will not launch on mac. It will start and immediately fail after launch. Any ideas?

Welcome to #support-forum. Before someone helps you, please first consult the information in #TML Troubleshooting Guide and try all the suggestions that might fit your particular issue, especially in the linked FAQ page. If the information in the pinned thread does not solve your issue, please post all log files by dragging and dropping them into this chat. In Steam right click on tModLoader in the library, then hover over Manage and click on Browse local files. In the folder that appears find tModLoader-Logs and open that folder. Inside that folder are the logs files. Select them all except the Old folder and drag them into this chat.

Mind deleting all the log files and then trying to run it again?

flat-fuchsiaOP•8mo ago

One minute There are no logs in general maybe the steamdeck loader refuses to launch

Solxan•8mo ago

... Not even a launch.log? So it's just clicking play and doing nothing?

flat-fuchsiaOP•8mo ago

yes-- the folder stays empty

I've been having this happen, too, and I'm playing on steam deck maybe I shouldn't have done the scheduled update early

Solxan•8mo ago

ok, that tells me a lot. I'll check some stuff in Steam. In the interim, you can try running start-tmodloader.sh directly which, should launch

rare-sapphire•8mo ago

weirdly enough, if I turn on the force compatibility using proton, it starts fine

Solxan•8mo ago

noted. then it's definitely a compability settings thing in the Steam dev page. I wonder what changed But yeah, this should always work for Mac or Linux independent of any steam stuff so if proton has any issues this is next option while I look in to it

flat-fuchsiaOP•8mo ago

I might be stupid, but it doesn't look like it is doing anything.

flat-fuchsia•8mo ago

You can fix it by changing the third line to

{ read -n 1 -s -r -p "Can't cd to script directory. Press any button to exit..." && exit 1; }

{ read -n 1 -s -r -p "Can't cd to script directory. Press any button to exit..." && exit 1; }

It's broken because the script itself is broken.

flat-fuchsiaOP•8mo ago

ah you right that worked, ty

flat-fuchsia•8mo ago

It's unconditionally running exit 1 which causes it to exit.

Solxan•8mo ago

wows, thanks for the fast assist. I'll start patching it

other-emerald•8mo ago

Can confirm also had the same problem, fix worked

genetic-orange•8mo ago

Removed the line and it works fine!

adverse-sapphire•8mo ago

hi! I'm currently trying to troubleshoot this with my friend, do you mind explaining what the interim is?

Solxan•8mo ago

The update should be out in about 5 to 10 minutes And that should fix it, assuming that was the only issue

adverse-sapphire•8mo ago

fix worked, ty

modern-teal•8mo ago

frail-apricot•8mo ago

I also just installed tmodloader on my SteamDeck, and it immediately crashes.
