I've uninstalled, downloaded from Origin this time, tried it that way. Then tried adding the path 1.67 update, still getting the "Unknown Error Occurred" from the game
When you uninstalled did you get rid of all the files in the hidden folders?
Yes I did. I've attached a screen shot of what is only found from my App Cleaner after I've reinstalled.
You're using an app cleaner? They can cause more problems by getting rid of files they shouldn't and destabilising the system, resulting in having to reinstall the operating system and apps.
Did you use it to get rid of the TS3 files when you uninstalled?
Yes. I've been using it for years. Never had a problem with App Cleaner. Same computer I've been using since 2012 as well. Been using Macintosh products for 20-25 years too. And app cleaner is actually one of the safer ones to use for removing hidden content that you miss removing because it finds them all. But the best way to keep the Mac running is by defragging it from time to time and backing up content after you remove a lot of stuff to help prevent issues in the long run.
