Mac FeralHeart Keeps Crashing Before Start-Up

[amerikan-baka]

hi, i've just installed feralheart using the tutorial and everything went fine with that, however when i go to open the application (through playonmac), the game seems to crash before the opening slides.
i have no mods or any extensions installed to feralheart whatsoever, and i've tried opening it multiple times to no avail. i'm not sure what to do, it just leaves it with a black screen and a pop-up saying "the program feralheart.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience". i've tried shutting down my computer but nothing changed.
i'm not exactly tech-savvy so if you have the solution, please try to cut it down as simply as possible for me. thank you.

I'm no Mac expert, but I do have something for you to check

Go into your FH > media > particles folder and delete any files ending in _0, _1, etc. These are known to cause crashing

I know nothing of the PlayonMac installation of FH or anything about Macs in general but maybe try changing your rendering subsystem to the opposite one? In Windows you can do this by altering the ogre.cfg file as shown below. If there is software that can open a text file, use that and see if it'll open the .cfg file.

i couldn't find ogre.cfg in my finder so im not exactly sure how to import it to textedit

Did you only try searching for the file in Finder?
(That does not work for me either, so you will have to locate the files)
Open the "PlayOnMac's virtual drives" map > FeralHeart > drive_c > Program Files > FeralHeart.
It should be there with the rest of the game files. [:

okay, i found ogre.cfg, i dont seem to have the sections where it says "Rendering Device=Montior-1-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960" or "Resource Creation Policy=Create on all devices". should those be added?

Hmm, I am not really sure if it is needed, but you can give it a try.
I do not have those sections either, but Direct works for me.
However, I am having the same issue as you when it comes to OpenGL.
You could always try reinstalling XQuartz just in case!
I wish I had the solution, but running FeralHeart on Macs
has always been a struggle ;n; What kind of Mac do you have?
The drivers might be a problem, if the computer/laptop is old.

          Welp i've had this problem to but on another game like FH.I dunno if it's gonna work on Mac to but let's give it a try.
          Go to C:>FeralHeart and try searching for C:>Local>AppData>FeralHeart.txt
Open the file and change any number ye find there in a 0.Close everything then open yer game.I think it's gonna take a little while to open but just let it do its stuff.This is called force updating the game.
                 Tell me if it worked:D

i've got a macbook pro from 2011, but world of warcraft and other programs work just fine on it, as well feralheart works just fine on a laptop a little bit older than it
