Rocket League on M4 Mac Mini not launching
I have tried different GPTK and Wine Crossover versions. The same thing happens:
1. I click the green 'play' button on Rocket League.
2. It then says 'launching' for less than a second.
3. Nothing happens.
4. I can repeat from 1. indefinitely.
This is the log from Heroric -> Settings -> Log -> Rocket League:

set yourself on wine-crossover and set autoinstallDXVK in the settings to true
correct-apricotOP•3mo ago
Like this?
The exact same thing happens. The log is also the same.
metropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
yeah
that’s odd
can you run me the full log (if it turns into a txt file when you paste it into discord, it’s fine, I can still read that)
correct-apricotOP•3mo ago
Here it is as a .log file. Hope that is okay
metropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
oh i think i know whats wrong
Solution
metropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
can you open your terminal and type
softwareupdate --install-rosettametropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
looks like rosetta isn't installed on your mac, although i dont know why it wouldn't come preinstalled
correct-apricotOP•3mo ago
Well that did the trick. Thanks alot!
metropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
🫡
out of curiosity, how many apps do you have installed on your mac?
is it a new mac?
correct-apricotOP•3mo ago
Yes it's new. Heroric was the first thing i installed
metropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
ah
makes sense then
macos doesn't download rosetta unless you have an app designed for intel macs installed
correct-apricotOP•3mo ago
Ah okay, so maybe it would just work in a couple days if I installed some random app without knowing
metropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
yeah probably
well, least you got it sorted out
have fun 🫡
correct-apricotOP•3mo ago
Yea it's Rocket League, so you know
metropolitan-bronze•3mo ago
right, don't break your table 😉
