Hi
I bought theotown on steam a while ago and decided to check it out on my macbook air with apple's M1 chip. And even though the official system requirements clearly says that apple silicon chips are supported, the game is not opening at all.
I do meet the system version requirements as well, and i have tried veryfing files integrity too. Also i cant seem to find any crash logs anywhere on my computer.
Can anyone help me with that?

Game depends on steamworks4j project, which does not yet provide native M1 libraries. However, it is possible to run the game under Rosseta compatibility layer.

You should run the game under Rosseta compatibility layer

yeah cool
however as far as i know after launching theotown a window allowing me to install rosseta should appear, and it doesn't

I have no idea why that does not happen

#

Also a question, did you install 64-bit Java?

#

yeah at the same moment you asked me this, i figured theres an exec file in theotown steam folder which told me that java's not installed

#

well

#

seems that might be the problem here

#

we'll find out in about 20 minutes with my awesome internet connection

the game launched, but when i minimalized it then uhh

#

#

it crashed

#

i repeated this process 3 times and it crashes every time i leave the window 💀

#

aright i found a way around this by going to windowed mode and the to fullscreen using macos window controls
