MacOS 10.15.7 won't launch Brave

With the deprecation of MacOs 10.14 and below i used Dosdude’s Catalina patcher to put my aging Macbook up to spec but it seems i still cant run the latest versions of brave.

I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this and perhaps have a solution since on paper i am on MacOS 10.15.7

Brave Version( check About Brave): 1.56.65

currently my solution is to download 1.56.65 and reinstall if i ever force quit my browser to update.

@annahmenaphos I don’t know anything about 3rd party programs, but you can see the last supported version for your Mac and instructions on which file to download at https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/18347246446733-Changes-to-macOS-desktop-browser-requirements

Direct link would be https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/tag/v1.57.64

Is there a reason you’re not upgrading? It’s free from Apple. Just grab Catalina and you’d be good to go…

i have a 2011 Macbook that i keep for sentimental reasons and it still works which doesn’t support Catalina natively the problem is Brave keeps trying to update since apparently i’m on Catalina but if i restart brave for whatever reason it tries to update and crashes which means i need to reinstall 1.57.64 or 1.56.65
