7D2D now fails to start under 20.4 (b42)

I can confirm Alpha 20.4 also crashes on launch on a MacBook Pro (M1 Max), macOS Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62).

 

Specifically, the new 7DaysToDie_EAC executable crashes. I can launch 7DaysToDie.app without issue, but this seems to have EAC disabled.

I am also experiencing this, same as OP, I try to launch, I get a flash of red over the screen and it crashes to the Apple Report, this is either through the Steam launch or the Desktop launch.

 

Running OS Monterey 12.3.1, iMac Late 2015, 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel i&, 32GB 1867 Mhz DDR3.  AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4 GB

I am also having the same issue on my MacBook Pro (not M1, I have an Intel i7) running Monterey (12.3.1). From a google search, it appears this is an issue with Easy Anti Cheat (EAC). TFP likely needs to update EAC. See the following link: http://www.vmpsoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24991

 

You can still access the game on your Macbook by disabling EAC. If using Steam, instead of launching the game select "show game launcher". The option to disable EAC is in the menu that pops up. Once EAC is disabled, you're able to launch with no crash.  

Epic games recently had the same issue and updating EAC resolved the issue:  https://eoshelp.epicgames.com/s/question/0D54z00007LfwOcCAJ/easyanticheat-crash-on-launch-particularly-happen-on-macosx-12x-monterey?language=en_US

Have any of you been able to use EAC and Mac's with 20.5b2? Eac had an update.
