I'm not exactly sure about how a MacBook works, but I'm pretty sure that the '/private/var/folder/yt/4blh76d96qx8sqtnqm336wf80000gn/T/AppTranslocation/276B3F0A-5257-4969-9DAB-85E4F333C113/d/Game.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/save/config.rpgsave' part is a filepath you can follow.


The problem comes from the 'Read Only' attribute, it's an attribute that prevents the folder/file from being modified or accessed, only read by the computer.


In short, the problem comes from the file "config.rpgsave", which I'm guessing is the "Keyboard Config" options, put in a .rpgsave file in order to be read by the game. Thing is, this particular file cannot be accessed or modified by the game, because it has the "Read Only" attribute. If this happens, you should follow the written filepath all the way to the file in question and removing Read Only from the file's properties.


If the "config.rpgsave" file is not in Read Only, it means that the Project itself must have been put automatically in 'Read Only' as a computer defense in case the project files are malicious programs.


If it's still not the case, then try configuring config.rpgsave using an advanced text editor, but I doubt it's possible.


If none of those worked, then try moving the game out of the "/private/" folder, as a computer will most likely automatically protect its data from 'private' directories to avoid any sort of corruption.


Again, I'm not sure how a MacBook works, and I don't use MV but since it has something to do with "Read Only", you should try looking for files that have this attribute.

Thank you @Blackyu I imagined it was a matter of permissions, but i can't test by myself.


So, if i set all "Contents" folder, inside APP, and all subfolder.
CHMOD 777, so read, write and execute, it works to anyone?
Permissions are hereditary by copies if people donwload files ?

On windows, you can Find the Read Only attribute in the General Settings, not Security, might be the same for MacBook, I don't know. The most important things to check for security are the game's folder, and the "config.rpgsave" file. You should allow Total control to Any User, as well as the TrustedInstaller group if you can find it.


When it comes to downloaded permission, I've never encountered such an issue, so I'm still not sure.


Was it obtained from external Internet download (using hosting sites such as MediaFire or MEGA), internal Internet download (Passed privately to another user with things such as Skype's file transmission storage), or straight up storage download (Passed to another user with USB Drives and such) ?

I understand, i can't try right now but tomorrow eith a friend we try in several ways.
I have passed the file with wetransfer, maybe it changes permissions?
Thanks for your support!
