Also the deviceType fix I think is irrelevant to the Steam problem - steam users cannot get the game to start launching, it looks like the config file is not being accessed yet before the game already crashes.
Steam is using Wineskin (Proton), so it's the same fix as those of us using KegWorks etc. You just need to find your config file. It's probably somewhere like: Library -> Application Support -> Path of Exile -> Preferences.

The Mac client broke again :(
I wanted to play some more, but I guess after these fixes I’ll just go to sleep.
Now I'm getting this error:
"Unable to connect to patching server"
Looks like I’ll have to reinstall again tomorrow :D

reinstalling won't help, the issue is wherever they're hosting the updates no longer communicates properly with macs. This is starting to feel like a really bad joke, every other patch they break the game entirely for macs, even when the game works it has terrible performance and lots of problematic glitches and their servers are currently on fire. This league start needed to go well in order to earn back some of the trust they squandered with the dumpster fire that is POE 2, not be the worst since ultimatum at best when they had most of a year to check for obvious issues.

- Kick off update. It will fail with a message that POE has quit unexpectedly or that the file is damaged.
- Go into the Path of Exile.app directory (/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile). Library is a hidden file, so unhide it first.
- Move the .app file to Trash bin.,
- Check if there is an update.dat and Hashcache.dat file. If so move them to the Trash bin too. Leave Content.ggpk alone.,
- Empty the Trash bin,
- Check System settings -> Privacy&Security -> Security. If there is a message about Path of Exile being blocked click on "Open anyway". This should then go away.,
- Restart the update. This should result in the dreaded "File is damaged ..." message. Select "Move file to the Trash bin" but DON'T delete it.,
- Move the Path of Exile.app from Trash bin back to the original folder to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile/
- Right click and select open (double left click will work too).,
You will get an error message, but it should not be the "File is damaged .." There should be an option to "Open". Select that. The update should now run.
- IF you do get the error message that the file is damaged again select "Cancel". Then check the Privacy&Security tab in System Settings again. The message that POE is blocked may have come back. Select "Open Anyway" and the update should start (you may need to choose "open" from the 3 options you get after selecting cancel after doing this).
Note: The security setting might pop up a few times. You need to make sure it has been removed before the update will run so you may need to check it a few times.
I just wish GGG would communicate instead of giving us stone cold silence. I signed up to kill things and get loot, not play a game of tech support to even run the game (edited)
Holy cats, this actually works! Thank you!
So I am trying to download a new install on my mac but I cannot get the application to open and other is no application support folder for PoE since I am installing it for the first time. Any fixes for a newly downloading individual? It keeps saying it is damaged and deleting it and moving it back doesn't work.
If you haven't already - there is a mac-os channel on the Path of Exile discord. I would recommend joining that. It will be easier to get help there for this issue.

Any news about the steam version?
I currently run PoE on a Macbook pro, steam version without having administrator rights - so none of the suggestions in this thread works for me.
Would really appreciate *any piece of information* regarding progress on fixing the Mac Steam client.
Thanks in advanced
Someone posted a workaround for Steam a few pages back in this thread. I think page 17 or 18. Someone also wrote a script for it. You could try those. Others have had luck with changing the device_type in the Production_config.ini from Vulkan to Directx12 (or the other way round, can't quite remember which way).
Thanks BowWizard, but I don't have administrator privileges on this machine and cannot execute "sudo" commands.
Also the deviceType fix I think is irrelevant to the Steam problem - steam users cannot get the game to start launching, it looks like the config file is not being accessed yet before the game already crashes.
Bump - GGG please supply a solution for Mac Steam users
This is what someone posted for Steam (page 17 half way down I think)
cd "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Path of Exile"
cp update.dat update.zip
unzip update.zip
cp -R "Path Of Exile.app" "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile"
sudo xattr -cr "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/PathOfExileClient.app"
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - "/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/PathOfExileClient.app"
"/Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Path of Exile/Path Of Exile.app/Contents/MacOS/Path of Exile"

Well...
It looks like the new patch put us back at square one. It gives errors on the login screen.
Not runnable anymore, I could actually play yesterday. While textures were not loading and mobs monsters were invisible, it was playable and not crashing.
Now... back at the usual.

Do you get an error or something when trying to run sudo ? It's built in, there is nothing to install.
