Support for macOS Catalina. #7623
Comments
I installed OpenTTD through Home brew by the way. |
Can you give any more detail than "can't be launched"? Is there an error message? |
I just gave it a go on Catalina public beta 2 (build 19A501i). When you try to run OpenTTD you're given this message: By holding control (or presumably right-clicking) and choosing Open from the context menu, you're given the same message with the option to open it: Subsequent opens don't give you the message once you choose to open it. I'm not sure what would need to be done to avoid this message in the first place, but once you get past it, OpenTTD seems to run fine. |
So Apple wants us to have a digital signature for the package. |
If going by https://eclecticlight.co/2019/06/07/notarization-in-mojave-and-catalina/, it's quite a bit more than just a digital signature. |
This issue also affects OpenRCT2 in that the game can't be started in MacOS 10.14.5 because "it is from an unidentified developer". Can you confirm that here? See OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2#9508 for more info. |
I guess the binary is 32-bit and Catalina only supports 64-bit binaries. There is blocking icon over the icon. And it’s impossible to press the icon to launch Openttd.

The 'cannot be checked' message is just Gatekeeper, has been triggering for OpenTTD for years, because OpenTTD isn't signed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeper_(macOS). That said, something might have changed in Gatekeeper for Catalina. Stable OpenTTD releases from 1.9.x onwards are 64 bit binaries, see #6978 Mystery deepens? I don't have Catalina yet, so I can't test, but eh :) |
It's common problem with games on MacOS for me. I am used to confirming to run the app from an unidentified developer. |
There is currently nothing practical that OpenTTD can do about this. FWIW there is widespread Mac community opinion is that Catalina is a car-crash release from Apple. We may need to deal with forthcoming Apple app notorisation in future, but that's not now. |
FWIW 1.10.0 Beta 1 and 1.10.0 Beta 2 both work fine for me on Catalina. |
I opened the package and ran the terminal file. It showed a missing font error then crashed. It's missing a font, so I downloaded "Aaux Pro Medium" installed it and problem solved. http://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Aaux-ProMedium-Regular/download is where I downloaded the font file. |
Leaving this one closed. All builds I've tried (official binary and self-compiled) work for me on Catalina. There's no repro and no further reports. |
