this was 9 days ago lmao, if you looked at the post I put above i said this guide is obsolete now as the developer has released official mac and linux builds on steam

ATTENTION MAC AND LINUX USERS

Dani has released on steam, the updated version for Mac and Linux builds. For me, I completely deleted Crab Game in Steam, and redownloaded it through Steam and simply pressed play, it worked with no server issues or version issues. If this is true for everyone, the download links above should be rendered obsolete along with my guide because there is no need to implement CrabGame in the steam folders anymore.

yeah I've just realized that problem today, I tried it out for myself, and I am facing the same problem. I'm not sure what to do either, but I'll try to experiment a little bit, and if I get it working I'll update the guide. Sorry

https://itch.io/post/4880634 follow my guide 

i think it should be the same thing, note that was for past versions of crab game so dani might have changed the file names, however it should work exactly the same

hmm you should be able to find it in the /Users/*yourusernamegoeshere*/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common path, if you don't have Crab Game there maybe you haven't downloaded it on steam yet?

refer to my guide below it should help

it should work about the same, give it a try, but high sierra is seriously outdated so I'm not sure if it works

go to system preferences, security and privacy (general), and at the bottom there should be a small button that says open anyways or something like that

hey! This should work if you have The Unarchiver installed, I'm guessing you used the original Archive Utility and that results in the can't be opened message, there's a link to download The Unarchiver somewhere above, it's completely safe and open the zip file with that. It should solve your problem.

yes it should

yes, I guess he changed the file name in the 1.33 update, it works exactly the same though

np glad to help!

no idea why that happens for some people, hope you find the solution

i did yes, refer to my guide below for a fix, hope it helps, and remember to turn the resolution to 1920x1080 it should help with the frames

Thanks for adding to the tutorial

Mac Download Tutorial

(I have no idea if this can be applied to everyone, as I am on Catalina, but hopefully this helps) (This will be centered around my version)

1. Download The Unarchiver on the App Store on their site (you can probably figure out how to install it, there's lots of tutorials) 

2. Download the appropriate file according to your system (64bit or silicon)

3. Get the zip file, drag it to your desktop, then right click it and choose open with The Unarchiver, the default doesn't work for all I know and results in an unopenable Crab Game

4. Let it run for a few seconds and you should end up with Mac_64Bit 

5. Go to steam, install Crab Game there, run it once, then close it (I know it states that its only for windows, but it runs on mac, this step is crucial)

6.  (credit to ssasiY)  Go to finder, press cmd+shift+g, and a window should pop up, insert /Users/*yourusernamegoeshere*/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common

7.  Now find the file with the name Crab Game, double click it, and there should be CrabGame and SavesDir

8. leave the window there, now right click on the Mac_64Bit you got from the zip file and press Open, DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK IT, it should pop up something along the lines of "Mac_64Bit is not from an identified developer" , press open anyway, and it should open

9. Close the game, rename the Mac_64Bit to CrabGame, and go back to the window with the two files

10. Replace the renamed CrabGame with the one in the folder

11. Close the Finder window, and open up Steam again, and press Play, it should work with no error messages, crashing,  or no servers

This is a quickly made tutorial and it isn't applicable to everybody.

I hope I made myself clear and optimistically, I hope it helped you

If there's any problem leave comments below and I'll try to help, but I am seriously no expert, so don't expect much.

Thanks for reading

worked for me completely thanks a lot
