When you receive this error, please make sure that the file you downloaded is a .tar.gz file.

If it is only a .tar file, rename it to be .tar.gz. Then unpack the file and run the following commands via console:

  1. xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine osx-x64/Eco.app

  2. chmod +x osx-x64/Eco.app/Contents/MacOS/Eco

This will remove a quarantine attribute that Mac is putting onto the app for reasons we're still investigating (No worries, Eco is safe!) and set permissions to the necessary levels for the game to start up.
