I've recently purchased and installed the game via Steam. When I attempt to play the game it launches a black screen before hanging (spinning ball of death). I'm on MacOS Mojave (10.14) MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, early 2015) 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

Update After googling the error from syslog, I updated my OS version and it's fixed the issue. Seems it's an OS bug.
