I've been dealing with this problem for a while. The first few times it happened, I kind of wrote it off as just a weird bug. But it has become consistent. I primarily run FGU on my M1 Mac Mini. I don't have anything weird installed, running, etc. I'm actually an IT Professional with about 20 years of experience with Mac and PC and whatever is happening, it isn't something I can pin down.
I leave my Mac running most of the time. I always completely close FGU after the game is over. Whenever I have to reboot for any reason, the next time I launch FGU, I get an error saying that it can't be found. Sometimes, if I run the updater, I can get it to work again (as long as there's an update), otherwise, I have to reinstall it again using the web client. The reinstall is fairly quick, but I don't feel like this is something I should have to do every time I reboot my Mac.
I did encounter this once on one of my PCs as well: The client wouldn't launch until I completely reinstalled it. But this is a regular thing on my Mac. Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this. This Mac Mini is brand new and I haven't done anything particularly hacky with it. It is not running any kind of AV or anything. And so far, this issue with FGU is the only issue I'm having with any of the software on the computer.
Edit: After further testing, it doesn't appear to be "every time" I reboot. It's after a period of using the application and then having to reboot. I honestly can't find any consistent behavior that leads to the corruption.
