It did it on my MacBook Air from around the same time, it did it on another two MacBooks I’ve had. I’ve now switched to an M1 MacBook and it crashes on startup with this too.

I have been playing on a Mac since around 2013. I have had a few issues here, but generally they get worked out by CCP in a timely manner…

Suggestions: Run log lite when you try to start the client. Submit support tickets. Double check the preferences in the Launcher.

On the M1 side - CCP list the M1 as not being supported.

Your comment does not help. The whole Anti-mac gaming group need to mind their own business. I do not understand why your crowd comes to this sub forum, your input does not help the people who need support.
