Hello,

A long time ago I used to play the game Anna's Quest in my Mac OS High Sierra, today I wanted to play again the game so I downloaded it, but when I try to open the game I can't, it shows a message that says "Init failed, could not load game. There is no game or the game file is corrupted. For more info view messages.log"

I have a Mac Os High Sierra 10.13.6, and I played the game years before with this version, so I don't know how to fix it. Cold anyone here know what's happening?

Thank you.

Nope! Not without you cracking open the terminal and trying to run the file for debug info.

Though, I gotta wonder why you're running a four years obsolete version of MacOS in the first place.

Hello,

As my Mac is a bit old, High Sierra is the OS that works better for it, here's what terminal says when I try to run the game:

What do I have to do?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried updating GOG Galaxy? That console output implies that you are running this gaming via GOG Galaxy, which is why I mention that.

Tried running it without Galaxy?

Unless I missed something, the console feedback shared here is for a run *without* Galaxy.

Try to download the offiline installer from the site. If it works then the problem is with Galaxy, not the game.

First of all thank you to everybody for your responses, it seems that the problem was with the GOG client, cause I downloaded the offline installer of the game and now I can play again in my Mac.

Thanks to all for taking the time to answer me. Have a nice day you all :)
