Hi, I'm on a mac and I can't seem to launch the game. It's nothing to do with permissions. Basically the game would close immediately after launching. There would be an icon of the game that pops up in the bottom and then disappears. Can you provide a workaround or a fix?

This might fix your issue:

  • Open Terminal.app
  • Write the following command: xattr followed by a space and drag the TFTUV.app or SL.app from the Finder onto the terminal window
  • Press Enter, it should show com.apple.quarantine as a result. If the text is not shown you’ve likely encountered another issue.
  • If the text is shown, type xattr -d followed by a space and drag TFTUV.app or SL.app onto the terminal window again
  • Press Enter and try to launch the game again.

You're right, SL.app showed com.apple.quarantine but the solution lacked arguments to complete the fix. It displayed the following (See pic below)


I've tried playing around with the usage, but so far no results. I think it's missing something to remove the quarantine

Nevermind, got it to open. turns out i have to paste "com.apple.quarantine "before dragging the SL.app onto the terminal window

Glad to hear you got it working!

I'm having the same problem, could you share your full fix?

Hi sorry just saw this.

basically you have to type:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine [and drag the TFTUV.app or SL.app from the Finder onto the terminal window]

I tried this and it didn't work- any idea where to go from here

It said that there was no xattr on the app

Thanks a lot, Fapm! This worked for me. Now I can't wait to try it on other games I couldn't open before.
