New build for Mac users live now + fixes for Launch Errors
Users who had trouble launching before should not have issues anymore. If you do here are several things to try to get it to work.
1. Validate your game files through Steam
If 1. doesnt work:
2. Uninstall Steam + the game and reinstall both fresh
if both of the above don't work try this:
3. Check for updates under your "About this mac" window and make sure your mac is up to date. This solved issues for several people.
