Darkest DungeonMac error - "Could not open 'pin' file"?(5 posts)(5 posts)

I've installed the Mac version of Darkest Dungeon today via the Galaxy Client, but when I try to launch the game I get an error staring "Could not open 'pin' file. Wrong directory or permissions. /Applications/Darkest Dungeon.app/Contents/Resources" (see attached screenshot).

I tried verify/repair, with the same result (no files were changed), and then tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, again with the same result.

Other games I've installed via the Galaxy Client haven't had this issue, it seems to be limited only to Darkest Dungeon.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

TIA!

Hi,
it seems there are some issues with permissions when the game is installed via Galaxy Client.
While we are working on solving the issue, as a temporary fix you can run this command in Terminal:

mv /Applications/Darkest\ Dungeon.app/ ~/Desktop/

The game will be moved to the desktop and you should be able to run it by clicking.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Maybe the whole application doesn't has to be moved. In my case just creating an alias on the desktop was enough to let me start it.

Seems fine after updating today! Worked without having to move the game or create an alias.

Thanks for the swift response!

When launched from GOG Galaxy nothing happens. When launched from applications folder the follow issues occur.

Popup:
Could not open 'pin' file.
Wrong directory or permissions.
/

The screen goes black, as if the game is starting. Then...

Popup:
Error
Couldn't find pin file.
Wrong working directory.

...

Moving it to the desktop changes nothing.

OS X High Sierra 10.13.4
Case-sensitive installation
