RL not launching on my M2 macbook air.

Just downloaded rocket league. Trying to open it but it's just not opening. The green words saying "launching" show for a split second then disapear and nothing happens.

I do believe vcrun may require a brew install of cabextract but just try it first

to install vcrun using winetricks, you can read this for the dependencies https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Using-Heroic-on-a-Mac-computer#winetricks-setup or you can download the files from microsoft's website and run them manually https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Installing-Visual-C---Runtime#manual-installation

I think im missing a file called Zenity too

ratty-blush3mo ago
in the first link I posted it explains how to install the different dependencies you can avoid that if you download the files from microsoft's website and run them with the Run EXE In Prefix option both vcrun with winetricks and manually downloading the files should have the same result

so zenity and vcrun? off microsoft

I'm not sure how to explain this differently, it's all in the wiki you have 2 ways of installing the visual c++ runtime: - with winetrick - or manually downloading the files from microsoft's website (explained in the visual c runtime wiki page) IF you want to use the winetricks way, you'll have to install at least cabextract first using homebrew or it won't work (explained in the how to use heroic on a mac wiki page), and IF you want to use the winetricks GUI, you'll need zenity, but it's not required

I cant download microsoft files I have a macbook
ratty-blush
ratty-blush3mo ago
you can download the files, just click in these 2 links on the site linked in the wiki page, and then you run them with the Run EXE in Prefix option in the game's settings (again, it's all explained in the wiki pages I linked, please read them)
