Latest 3.24.2 Patch crashes the game when trying to start it

Same here for Apple M3 Pro, game crashes right after start since the latest update.


I'm not using Steam, I downloaded directly to my Mac.

Same here. The game quickly and quietly crashes on startup.
Mac Studio running Steam under Sonoma 14.5 (recently updated).

Crashed Thread: 24

Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000

Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 5 Trace/BPT trap: 5
Terminating Process: exc handler [33015]

Error Formulating Crash Report:
PC register does not match crashing frame (0x0 vs 0x105B8EE7C)

Steam's "Verify integrity of game files" found no problems, and it did not fix the crashing.

Running Packcheck in the PathofExile folder fixed this problem for me.

Where can I find that? I don't see that file in the folder (Mac)

Also experiencing the same problem - steam mac user and will not launch, please fix asap!

Same here. M3 Pro.

No issues yesterday, immediately crashes when launching.

Run from Mac terminal gives the following crash log (removed my user info):

No idea what "pack check" is - it doesn't exit anywhere in my install.

"PackCheck.exe" is a Windows-only tool for the Standalone client.
It verifies the integrity of the GGPK file format and repairs any errors, kind of like validating a game in Steam.

Steam PoE doesn't use GGPKs at all.

I don't believe the tool exists on macOS, not even in the Standalone client.

I reckon that the person mentioning it didn't notice that this thread was about macOS.
