I am now able to open the path of exile native mac application 'SOME-WHAT" reliably. Steam was crashing regularly for me, and the gameplay via the Mac application seems to be much less buggy. I still get crashes randomly, but they appear to be server connection related as no crash reports appear when this happens for me to send to Apple. All in all much better than running POE via steam.

Step 1: Move to trash, "Path of Exile.app" in the Applications Folder and empty the trash.

Step 2: Download the latest Mac client via the POE website. Click on the downloaded file (DMG with the Path Of Exile Icon) and double click or drag the POE icon to your application file folder.

DO NOT TRY AND OPEN THE PATH OF EXILE CLIENT BY CLICKING ON THE ICON. THIS ENDED UP CORRUPTING THE PROGRAM FOR ME AND I HAD TO RESTART. AT STEP 1.

Step 3: Right click or Option Click the Path OF Exile icon in the application file folder without launching the actual client. Scroll done and select "Show package Contents"

Step 4: Left click the "MacOS" file folder

Step 5: Left Click (Run) the "Path of Exile" .exec file. This will bring up a terminal window and the client will try to launch. The client crashed for me here and failed to load.

Step 6: Left Click the "PathOfExileClient".

At this point, the client should run (at least it does for me). If it doesn't run the application and you get an error or client crash, then you will have to delete the application and start back at step 1. Make sure that Path of Exile has "Full Disk Access" via system settings.

Try to get to waypoints as fast as possible so if the client crashes, at least you can restart at the latest waypoint.

Good Luck!

Still waiting on Patch fix as nothing else works....

Approaching 4 weeks w/o ever getting into the game !

Wonder if POE 2 is going to be the same ? NON-PLAYABLE !!
