File got changed to 64Bit unstead of Mac_64bit. Just change the name in the commands.

It’s your computer username. You can also do ~/Library, ~ is your home directory

Reposting tutorial steps for Mac

https://itch.io/post/4880634

Still works with 1.3323 for me on Mac Catalina 10.15.7.

From this tutorial: https://itch.io/post/4880634

To fix this, use the command Dani gave: "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine [app path]". App path is the full name of wherever you installed the game (for it, it was "/Users/MY_USERNAME/Downloads/64Bit.app").  So the full command was "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Users/MY_USERNAME/Downloads/64Bit.app".

Open Terminal in the download folder and type the above command, OR select the game file in Finder, go to Finder > Services > New Terminal at Folder, then type "cd ..; xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine 64Bit.app". After doing this, I was able to open the game like in Step 8 in https://itch.io/post/4880634 (at this step, it opens but shows no servers). Then I followed Steps 9-11 and opened from Steam - servers now show and I can play.

Did you replace Steam version? You need to install old CrabGames from Steam. Then replace it with your new version file (rename it “CrabGames”). File is in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/common/steamapps/CrabGame.

Also make sure you run with Steam and keep it on in background. 

Can you share a screenshot? Also what’s your version.  

If Mac:

What's your macOS name and version? Apple Icon > About this Mac

If you're on Linux, it might be because the download is not the latest version. Servers will only show up with latest version (1.3323).

No problem! Your instructions are super helpful for Linux. I hope the version gets updated.

Are you on Mac? You need to make the name of the app "CrabGame", copy it, then go to the Steam library folder (Finder toolbar > Go >  Go to Folder > "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Crab Game" ), and paste it (replace old one). Then you need to run "Play" from Steam. 

This is Steps 9-11 in this install guide: https://itch.io/post/4880634

Also make sure it's 64Bit version. Some people having issues with Silicon even after installing.

When you type command in terminal, what folder are you in? (everything before $ when you type). It says this because it cant see the file in the current folder. You need right path. Or you’re accidentally INSIDE the app (which is basically just a ZIP) instead of its parent folder.

I dont have Silicon but lots of people with it are saying 64Bit one here works better. Try that one instead. 

Steam version is outdated and will launch but not show any servers.

Those instructions are for Linux. Follow this guys guide for Mac:

You need Steam running for Voice to work. See steps in link. If its super laggy for you, make resolution smaller in game graphics settings.

Works for me on 10.15 (catalina). Not sure if older versions work. YMMV. 

Click the file so its name is highlighted. In top toolbar, click Finder > Services > New Terminal At Folder. Terminal window will show up. Type these commands:

cd ..

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Mac_64Bit.app

Then reopen the app. Follow steps to replace CrabGame in Steam library with new one to play.

 

This ^^^. Helps alot with lag

Yeah can confirm lowering the resolution makes it faster for me.

For those curious:

Voice Chat DOES WORK on Mac 1.326 for me. It DID NOT work on 1.29.

Also, here is link to download The Unarchiver: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12

Awesome, thanks!! Works for me on Catalina 10.15.7. Except at Step 8, it didn't give me "Mac_64Bit is not from an identified developer" error. Instead, it said the app was damaged and to Move to Trash. 

To fix this, I used the command Dani gave: "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine [app path]".

Yeah same here, voice chat not working on Mac Catalina. :(

what's your game version and your mac version?
