Does it create anything in ~/TheoTown/out.txt?

➜  TheoTown pwd
/Users/mac/TheoTown
➜  TheoTown ls -a
 maps   regions

nope

#

the problem i am facing is steam has play button, i press it. steam acts like its loading where play changes to X stop icon in the button

#

then after a few second theotown doesnt even, the steam page's button just goes from x stop icon to play again. as if the game has never been opened

Hmm, try -Psubprocess as a command line argument

#

odd warren Hmm, try `-Psubprocess` as a command line argument

wow it worked

#

the game didnt work on main java process

#

i dont use java much, brew automatically updates it to latest version, so maybe the version change cause issue or maybe its from the games end

#

anyways i heard apples discontinuing rosseta so is there any plan for native mac silicon build?

odd warren Nov 8, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

Does it not run natively? I was under the impression that such issue was resolved.

modern jasper Nov 8, 2025, 4:19 PM

#

I dont know, it seems like its running under rosseta

#

I see 64 bit written on title bar

#

Or maybe i am dumb and its only showing 64 bit cause i was using rosseta explicitly

#

From terminal to lauch the game

odd warren Nov 8, 2025, 4:21 PM

#

what happens if you just run it like ./TheoTown -Psubprocess ? Without the arch -x86_64 in front?

modern jasper Nov 8, 2025, 4:24 PM

#

#

its still showing 64-bit written

#

i am reading the error message and why it seems to be saying i dont have java but i do

#

well updated jdk so the warning due to no java found have gone but its still 64bit version.

odd warren Nov 8, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

The 64-bit message is visible for every PC platform and simply indicates the JVM architecture.

#

Appears to be working, no?

modern jasper Nov 8, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

Yes it worked since doing a manual run with Psubprocess command
