I was just about to install the latest stable OpenTTD on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020, 16Gb RAM, MacOS 11.6 Big Sur) and it crashes on startup, before even showing its window. To narrow the problem, I tried installing previous versions as well, with the following results:
- OpenTTD 12.1 - crashes
- OpenTTD 12.0 - crashes
- OpenTTD Nightly (20211128-master-g802ca4e722) - crashes
- OpenTTD 1.11.2 - works fine
I also tried to run 12.1 on my wife's MacBook Air (M1, 2020, MacOS 12.0.1 Monterey) to see if the problem is machine or M1-specific, and the game runs on her Mac alright. No crashes at all, starts up as usual, asks for OpenGFX download etc.
Is it maybe the OS difference? My Mac has Big Sur, hers has Monterrey.
Or maybe I have some leftover files from some older version somewhere which my installation is picking up and my wife's vanilla is not? I tried looking in /Library/Application Support and ~/Library/Application Support, couldn't find anything there, is there any other place I could look?
