When trying to launch Peasant's Quest, it seems many/all? of you are met with the following message: The application "Game.app" can't be opened.
I would very much like to support OSX but I don't have access to a Mac for testing. So I'm going to need your help to solve this issue. From what I can read in the forums the problem seems to be related to security settings which end up corrupting the file during download. This is a possible solution I've found on the web. Can you try this before downloading the game file:
1. Open the System Preferences. There are two approaches:
- Click on the System Preferences icon in the Dock
- Selecting Apple Menu > System Preferences.
2. Next open the Security & Privacy pane by clicking Security & Privacy. (Make sure that the General tab is selected.)
3. Click the icon labeled "Click the lock to make changes" in the bottom-left corner.
4. Enter your username and password into the prompt that appears and click Unlock. (If you have no password, this can be left blank).
5. Under the section labeled "Allow applications downloaded from:", select the option "Anywhere". On the prompt that appears, click "Allow From Anywhere."
6. Click the lock icon.
7. Click apply.
Re-download the game file after applying these settings and try launching it. If you managed to get this to work, or if you found another solution. Please let me/us know in the comments below!
