This did not work. You had another way of using the terminal to allow a single app to work. That worked before. Do you still have that link??

-type “xattr -rc ” in the terminal,
-drop the chloe18.app in the terminal window and press “enter”
-It need to be done only once and the game will always run
Boris
This does not work for me, cause OS X interprets the app as a directory.
What you have to do after typing “xattr -rc”:
– Press Enter, the make a control-click on Chloe 18. app in the Finder
– in the drop down-menue select “Show package contents”
– in the Mac OS folder there is “Mac_Runner”. this file you´ll drop onto the Terminal and press Enter again
Yayyyy <3
GDS author
Type “xattr -rc” and then a space. Then drop the file in after that.
Hit Enter.

I cant afford a new mac to test,
But downloading the file as it is and double clicking it will start the app
No folders or whatever needed.
A lot of mac users confimred working after doing the fixes here

I’m also unable to play on Mac following these rules. It worked for the prior version but this pops up with an error that it can’t find the help folder, or something. I tried twice. Eventually had to play the HTML version (which is a little spotty). I appreciate this is hard work – but I wanted to be sure you knew this was still an issue, if you can revisit it.

I got the app to function using your instructions, but now I’m getting:

What do I need to give it access for?

All those doing on this on any Mac there was a update that will hide it in the search, all you need to do is go to the “launch pad” symbol looks like a rocket then click other then you will see a dark grey box with this symbol >_ click that and follow direction of first step. Hope this helps

Agreed, this fix doesn’t work on newer macs. Just says can’t find game.

Can’t get download to work and the html version is unplayable on firefox. Menus aren’t visible on screen even in full screen mode, making it impossible to navigate.

I became a patron for this new game but it doesn’t work on a Mac so I’m going to cancel. You’ve gotta get that figured out.

Drag the game into the terminal, “Unable to find game!!: /Users/[myname]/Library/Application Support/Chloe18 Back to Class/game.ios” will appear. Follow the directions and past the game there.

I tried everything and still can’t start the game??

Dude is a bold face liar. I had a buddy thats a program writer try the “patch” it doesnt work. GDS just lies to Mac users to make them think it works and buys a membership.

It does not work. Stop lying to Mac users just to get them to hang around.

I was able to hack together this version that’ll work on Catalina:
https://mega.nz/file/Lkci0YgA#CJYTf9ADXR5qqjefUG7_uwS2gar_p621zdZbYslehic
It uses a newer 64-bit version of the GameMaker Studio interpreter taken from the game “Deltarune”.

It runs just fine given the GDS suggest of using “sudo xattr -rc ” and then dragging the App icon to the terminal window to use as the path argument. However, after awhile, it got stuck in a place that showed the the help screens but I could not exit from this to play any longer. I quit the app then restarted, then restored from the Auto Save, but after this it just starts by showing me the morning food menu items but the Save 1 and Save 2 are present. I can choose one but it just goes back to that screen and doesn’t allow me to close the “save” options to interact with the food.

This is using 10.15.4 Catalina BTW

There are a couple of bugs. So the one above is related to a line in the .ini save files going way oversized:
in the auto save .ini file in here is the problem that causes it to fail to load and hangs the game:
[Chloe_such_slut]
0=”1.000000″
1=”43.000000″
2=”7.000000″
…
37=”1.000000″
38=”11637284757450284278145997001780166383370240.000000″ <===== changing to a more "normal" number like 106 works fine.
39="2.000000"
but this corrupts almost immediately as viewed by a format overflow on the "stats" page.
Also, the names get mangled in the game. For example, in the gaming basement, instead of the correct names for Maurice, Otaku and the shy Japanese girl, when the stats appear at the end of the session it shows as /ner, /jap, etc…instead of their names. Happens in the dialogues of some scenes also.

I still can’t get it to work on catalina 10.15.4

I have a pretty old software, 10.10 for the mac. The game downloads fine. I can find the zip file unlock it and the game opens to the GDS logo and then it proceeds to “unexpectedly quit” every time. I’m not facing any issue finding or starting the game, it just doesn’t stay long enough for me to do anything.
Any advice?
is this a problem with my laptop or the game? really wanna play but cant. lol
tried the HTML version and cant get past any activity that contributes to the stats. game just freezes and I am forced to reload. suggestions?

ohhh and this is for chloe 18 back to school, please help haha

Possible workarounds for decompressing and running this app on a Mac. Tested on 10.13.6, but will likely work all the up to Big Sur.
Download Stuffit Destinations 15.0.7 from here: https://www.stuffit.com/#downloads
It’s a 64-bit app and should run on the 64-only OS versions. Apple’s decompression app and the latest stuffit and unarchiver apps didn’t work.
Open the downloaded dmg file and drag the Stuffit Destinations App to your Applications folder. Add Stuffit Destinations to your dock and launch it. You should be able to click the “Not Yet” button to use the app without entering a license code. Drag your Chloe zip file to the Stuffit icon in your dock to begin decompression of the zip file.
Once the Chloe app is decompressed, RIGHT-CLICK on it and select Open. This is an important step as the right-click allows you to approve the app without using the terminal or system preferences.
Good luck!

“Chloe18” needs to be updated.
The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information.”
this is the error I’m currently receiving. Trying to load Chloe18

That error typically means it is compiled as a older 32-bit app, when the newest MacOS and all M1+ Macs all require it to be base compiled on 64-bit.

Damn, that used to work, but I can’t make the V69 work 🙁

Never mind. I found the bug. You really need to use The Unarchiver to unzip it before doing the command on the terminal. Any other app will prevent the command to work.

Been able to play previous versions on my MAC but this latest version just won’t open.
Unzipped it with unarchiver, tried the steps on here with terminal. Doesn’t work.
I’m on an M1 mac

did you update the unarchiver? it helpt at me

Yeah, its the latest version of Unarchiver 4.3.4
Still won’t work for me, still saying it’s damaged and can’t be opened.
