Can't Launch Game

B

I'm assuming this has something to do with the update coming out yesterday, but I'm not sure what to do. When I try to open the game (whether from Steam library or going into the local files) a game window pops up, but then nothing else happens, other than my mouse turning into a loading circle. Sometimes it'll get stuck like that and I have to force quit, other times it shuts down. Other times I have no window pop up at all? I have EAC disabled. I played yesterday and everything was fine, it's just today suddenly not working. 

Thanks in advance! 

Edit: Have also tried verifying game files, restarting steam/computer.

Check and see if it is writing anything to the output log. If it does, post your log here using pastebin so we can see if the issue is mentioned there.

It's still trying to load EAC and not finding certain EAC files, also having trouble loading libraries. Now this doesn't necessarily look like the errors that other Mac users were reporting but try playing the game using Rosetta.....it seemed to fix some issues running the game. I'm really not familiar with Macs at all so beyond the Rosetta idea, you'll need to wait for someone with Mac knowledge to help.

 
I FIGURED IT OUT! Go to steam, right click on the game, click properties, then go to local files and click browse. It'll open up a finder tab, Right click 7DaysToDie then click get info and check run with rosetta, it'll fix it
