KSP 1.12.4 not working on Mac?

[Andrew the Astronaut]

I upgraded my KSP install to 1.124.4 and I use a mac mini for it and for some reason it doesn't work? Like there is only a black loading screen FOREVER! SO I had to downgrade to 1.12.3. I think its a problem with taht new "Private Divison" launcher not working on Mac @Nate Simpsonany idea on what's happening?

Have you had any luck getting it to work? Tried on my M1 Macbook Pro and get the same thing.  Spinning load wheel for awhile and then it just closes.

In case anyone else has this problem, in Steam, I clicked on manage --> browse local files and launched the KSP.app.   Works without a problem now.

Here's what works for me- I have to do this every time I install a new version of KSP:

• In the KSP folder, find the file you click on to start the game.  It is called 'KSP', and has a picture of a Kerbal next to it.
• Drag that file to the desktop.
• Next, drag the KSP file from the desktop BACK to the KSP folder you found it in.
• Double-click the file, it should load just fine now.
• Once you do this, the game will load properly every time in the future, with no further action required.

I have no idea why this is required, or why it works.  But it works for me.  Good luck.

Edit:  I do not recommend using the launcher.  Just run the KSP file from the KSP folder.  Skip the launcher.
