Bumble Brawlers not loading on MacOS

I downloaded the game from Steam, off a RCE giveaway code if that matters. When I try to run the game, it just gives me the error 'The application “Wobble Warriors” can’t be opened.' I don't know why it's titled Wobble Warriors, I have no other files of that name. I tried following some video tutorials on how to fix it by making the file inside an executable, but that hasn't worked either.

Hello again and thank you for your patience. After some investigations, I was able to get the game running on my Mac even after updating everything. I am using the M2 Apple Silicon chip, but I did verify that the binaries on my machine are supporting both Intel and M2 chips. I was also able to verify that the app is properly codesigned as well so I believe this might be a local issue. Here are some steps we can take to try and resolve the errors. 1. Verify the App Binary Architecture

Let’s make sure the app supports your processor. Open Terminal and run:

file /Applications/Wobble\ Warriors.app/Contents/MacOS/Wobble\ Warriors

You should see something like:

Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64] [arm64]

If not, please let me know what it says.

2. Fix Permissions on the Executable

Sometimes the executable file loses its permissions. Run this in Terminal (I think this is what you already tried, but maybe this command might be different that what you tried):

chmod +x /Applications/Wobble\ Warriors.app/Contents/MacOS/Wobble\ Warriors

3. Remove Gatekeeper Quarantine Flags (If you're comfortable with it)

macOS may block the app if it thinks it came from the internet. Clear those flags with:

xattr -cr /Applications/Wobble\ Warriors.app

Then, try launching the app again.

4. Check for Errors in Console

If it still doesn’t launch, please do this:

Open Console.app (press Command+Space, type Console)
Try launching the game
Look for any red error messages related to “Wobble Warriors” and let me know what they say.

5. Try Launching Directly

Go to your Applications folder and try launching the game by double-clicking it instead of using Steam. Sometimes, Steam misconfigures things. If the game launches when not launched from Steam, then try verifying the integrity of your game files and make sure there are no extra launch arguments passed in through Steam.

6. macOS Version

Let me know what version of macOS you're using. The game requires at least macOS 11 (Big Sur) or newer.

Let me know what you find after going through these steps, and I’ll help you further. Thanks again!

I have a M3 chip, and Sonoma if that helps. However, the game seems to be in a sort of limbo, as the file doesn't appear on searches on my computer, and the only place I can find it is inside the Steam folder. By dragging the icon to my applications, I managed to do the first 3 steps with no error message on Terminal, but still the same error when I try to load it. (Edit: I tried running it before when it was inside the Steam one, but there weren't any errors that popped up, I can try again and look closer if you'd like.) On Console, the game is now flagged as WobbleWarlords, but here are all the messages flagged as errors: <OSLaunchdJob | handle=AD34EC00-DB50-4F0B-9353-61B4979076D3>: job failed to spawn, plist={

Sorry for all that spam. Anyways, hope this helps fix the problem!

There are some others but don't want this getting too long.)

Thank you so much for the reply! You definitely don’t have to worry about spam when it comes to issues like this. I think I see the issue with the entitlement errors that pop up. It’s getting a little late here so I am going to head to bed but I will get started on this as soon as I can tomorrow. If you want to send more of the info you can email me at support@gaiapublications.com or you can post it here. I will let you know as soon as I have a potential fix in place!

Thank you for putting up with this. This is the first game I’ve released on a Mac so there are a few growing pains lol.

Hey thank you for letting me know. I think I know why this is happening. I will try to get IT fixed as soon as possible. Wobble Warriors was the name of the old game and the latest update might have changed the name. I’ll take a look and let you know when it’s working again!
