It runs on M1 Macs. On newer versions of MacOS, Apple has introduced measures that prevent unofficial apps from being run. Therefore it is necessary to use the chmod +x method.

Make sure you are providing the correct folder path to the executable when you run the chmod +x command.

It should look something like:

chmod +x Applications/FPVFreerider.app/Contents/MacOS/FPVFreerider

There is more detailed information in the user manual.

If you want to avoid the hassle of having to enter terminal commands, you can get the Steam version instead. That should run fine without any hacking necessary.

Hope that helps!

Hello, I've been able to run the application at Mac M1, but when I try to go to any circuit, the Application breaks, stops and leaves.

Any idea what could it be the problem?

Thanks in advance

Hello, maybe something went wrong during installation. I would try to download the zip file again, and perhaps unzip it with another unpacking software (such as Keka for example).

If it still doesn't work you could try to find the output log file and check that for clues. On Mac, I think it's usually in ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

(Or, send the log to fpvfreerider@gmail.com and I will have a look at it and see if I can figure out what it might be).

Hello, thanks for the info and sorry for the late reply. I tried to install a few times, and I had the same issue. After rebooting the machine I could run properly the game, and play with the controller.

At some point the game does the same, and it doesn't show the circuit. I need to reboot the machine or shut down it completely and restart it. And after that, I am able to game again. It is quite weird.

Next time it happens, I will have a look, and I will send you the log. Just in case you can figure out what it could be and help other customers as well.

Thank you very much

Thanks for reporting back. That is strange indeed, I don't know what is causing that. It would be interesting to hear if you manage to see some kind of pattern to when or why it is happening. Also, if you have the Steam client installed, I could send a download key for the Steam version for you, so that you can try if that works better on your machine.
