Adding Apple Silicon(Arm) Client for mac

[ABDERRAHMANE-OUALI]

Is there a plan to release the arm version of the client for mac ?

[kaiserdj]

I have to investigate to add direct support, but for now you can use the client.

Check this link where I explain how you can do it

Could you try this version and tell me if it works well for you on a mac m1 without modifying anything:
https://github.com/Rolworld/Darkorbit-client-test/releases/download/v2.7.4/DarkOrbit-Client-2.7.4-arm64.dmg

I don't have a mac, so I can't test it

[ABDERRAHMANE-OUALI]

it says File is damaged and cannot be opened after I try to open the app

[kaiserdj]

Does the same thing happen to you with this one?
https://github.com/Rolworld/Darkorbit-client-test/releases/download/v2.7.5/DarkOrbit-Client-2.7.5-arm64.dmg

[ABDERRAHMANE-OUALI]

I test it but still gives me this the same error of damage file

Did you try what it tells you?

[ABDERRAHMANE-OUALI]

for some reason even when I run the intel version the game isn't showing but when I go activity monitor the game is launched , and also I didn't find run with Rosita for some reason

In the comment you should have the solution:

Open Using Rosetta options is only show to Universal executable not Intell ones

[kaiserdj]

What you said doesn't make any sense...
Rosetta enables Mac computers with Apple chips to use apps designed for Mac computers with Intel processors.
If not, what is the logic of using rosetta????

[ABDERRAHMANE-OUALI]

I do have Rosetta install but the option "Open With Rosetta" isn't showing

@alexperez52 didn't get it either (#58 (comment)), but he put what he did to make it work for him. Did you try with that?

Btw, this file is the installer. Have you installed the client?

[ABDERRAHMANE-OUALI]

yes I installed the client but when I open it, it shows nothing

in task manager it show the client is running but nothing is shown

[kaiserdj]

To clear all launcher data, delete the following folder:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/darkorbit-client
Close the launcher completely and delete the folder indicated above, if it continues to give problems let me know

[ABDERRAHMANE-OUALI]

I did delete the darkorbit client app and re-install it but the problem persists

Can't enter the game as well with Mac M1. It cannot load PepperFlashPlayer (fat file, but missing compatible architecture (have (i386,x86_64), need (arm64e))).
I don't want to install other versions of MacOS or to mess up with the OS. Better fix this issue out of the box instead of using workarounds, more people will encounter the issue with newer chips.

The problem is that flash player stopped being developed before the release of the m1 processors (arm architecture) so a specific version was never developed for this mac model.
I will investigate more on the matter, but it is difficult to do tests without having an m1

[emrementese]

I used long time (5-6 month) kaiserdj's clients with m1 mac air. I Haven't got a problem.

For those that do see the checkbox “Open with Rosetta” I suggest updating to Rosetta 2 and then simply double clicking the mac executable obtained by downloading this release:
https://github.com/Rolworld/Darkorbit-client-test/releases/download/v2.7.4/DarkOrbit-Client-2.7.4-arm64.dmg

I don’t see the checkbox either but by doing the above, I no longer have the issue
