    Great catch @Saffith . I do believe that to be his issue after reading it. I have not experienced behavior like that on my mac at work but I don't download and run things out of Downloads often.

    The basic gist is that if you download and run a Gatekeeper app from the Downloads folder, the OS will copy the app into a read-only disk image and run it from there instead. See the link above for more details.

    I got it to now work for me. It downloaded all the quest files, then I downloaded the Zelda classic app, so I think that was the problem. I did not realize this was what I needed to do(I thought files were built right into the build itself?!?!?, but everything is good now, thanks for the ideas and help.

    You've moved it out of the downloads folder like to your desktop and it still does the same thing?

    I found another thing. Someone said having two applications packaged together seems to confuse it. So try this: in Finder, move ZC and ZQuest into two different folders, then move them back. Maybe that'll do it.

    It looks like it (all the Mac builds) does not need the files it saved to run, the only thing that makes it run is being game folder. For some reason it seems any game folder is like a happy spot for the build to run correctly. it did not work correctly in the applications folder. This is weird, but at least I figured out how to fix the problem now.

    I was playing the 5th quest on 2.50.3 RC1 and noticed 2 weird bugs. One bug was sometimes when playing - Link will just walk somewhere and not stop sometimes I can stop this from happening, but seems like bug. This only happens once in a while. Another glitch is sometimes the screen saver comes on too soon. These issues are with the Mac build just for clarification.

    That sounds like a key getting stuck or a key release not registering. Neither would be a bug, exactly. Does it happen more than before? Might be due to a change in 10.12, but I don't know what that might be...

    Another glitch is sometimes the screen saver comes on too soon.
    The game's screen saver or the OS's? The game's screen saved should be disabled by default. The OS's we probably can't do anything about.

    It was the game's screen saver. Thank you for the info about the key getting stuck. It does not happen often when playing, but happens a few times when playing. Just trying to make sure these are not issues before 2.50.3 get released. I did not notice any other issues.
