[macOS] executable path for DRM-free version of the game?

[TarasZhaldak]

Hi, I am using the DRM-free version of the game and it crashes immediately upon launch. Maybe I selected the wrong path for the executable? Please help

/Applications/Balatro.app/Contents/Game/Balatro.app

*Edit: I know the screenshot does not match the path I've written, but I tried both options and neither works. Also, I am not even using any mods, resource packs or otherwise

Here is the log, if it matters:

same issue hoping for fix.

same issue hoping for fix.

Try selecting this directory and installing steammodded alongside talisman. The game should launch normally. I have other mods installed as well, but I believe at least SM and talisman are the only ones necessary for launch.

@TarasZhaldak did the directory you have given work?
