So I run osx 10.13 on my Mac. I can start Iratus, get past the opening screens, and click to begin a new game, but then the loading screen (and music) run indefinitely, little icon spinning in the corner.

Other threads say giving "full disk access" solves this problem (or other freezing/hanging problems like it) but in osx prior to 10.14 there are no "full disk access" permissions. The system requirements on the game page say the game plays on any os after 10.11..

so how do I play?
