Game Version

4.15.1-libgdx-1.13.1

Describe the bug

The game is not loading for me anymore on version 4.15.1-libgdx-1.13.1 and anything later.

The java -jar Unciv.jar process continues executing, though nothing happens. I see a "java" process appear in the macOS menu bar, though nothing happens when I click it. It goes away when I stop the process with ctrl+c

Version 4.15.1, and anything below, works fine.

I'm on macOS 14.7.1 and have tried on different Java runtime versions, all with same result:

• openjdk 11.0.26 2025-01-21
• openjdk version "17.0.14" 2025-01-21 LTS (Zulu)
• java version "23.0.2" 2025-01-21

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download jar file of version 4.15.1
2. java -jar Unciv.jar
3. It should work
4. Download jar file of version 4.15.1-libgdx-1.13.1 (or anything later)
5. java -jar Unciv.jar
6. A "java" process appears in the menu bar but nothing shows up. Previous command continues executing, but nothing happens.

I have the similar problem, on macOS 15, the game couldn't run after install with macport

I think I solved it, manage to replicate locally and so get it to stop happening
Please try this release and see if it solves the problem
