Might be a potential M2 mac issue, but will have to investigate further

The same thing is happening to me, but im on windows ten, not sure whats going on there.

Yeah it's a very strange bug, I'm not really sure what is going on here. This may not be necessarily mac related anymore, but it seems to be related to #3? Will be investigating further

Yeah but i am using a hackintoshed pc so mine is a intel gpu, and yes its crashing.
Edit: Also you can hackintosh a pc laying down if you want so you dont have to give your kidney. Or you can use a Virtual Machine.

Looks like Macs only support OpenGL 4.1:
Apple M2 GL version 4.1 Metal - 88.1, Apple. The game crashes here though without this being obvious due to a bug in the mod, but in newer versions it'll be more obvious that OpenGL is out of date and that Simple Clouds cannot launch.I don't think I will be able to get Macs to work since the mod needs compute shaders which are at least OpenGL 4.2+ (4.2 with extensions), so Macs will unfortunately be incompatible with Simple Clouds (at least those with M1 and M2 chips which are known to be incompatible)
Better error detection (closes #3, #7, #14)

Could I run Asahi LINUX on an M series mac (since that allows opengl 4.6 compatibility) to get the mod to work.
PS: I am currently using an intel mac and it doesn't work.

Possibly though I do not know

This seems to just be an issue with macOS in general. Tested on a 2019 Mac Pro (Intel CPU) and issue also occurs.

I Have a 2015 Imac 5k, Intel I5 and Radeon R9 2gb. I have 32 GB of ram, and my computer supports up to open gl 4.5 and it still crashes. no idea why.
