Unreal Engine doesn’t launch Mac

Launching from Epic Games Launcher, it’s window disappears and Unreal Engine never opens.
When trying again and and forcing Epic Games Launcher to appear during launch, it shows that the Launch is ‘Running’ but then times out.
No Unreal Engine icon appears in the Dock and there’s no feedback to work with for troubleshooting.
I tried versions 4.25.0 and 4.24.3. Both fail.
I’ve tried launching from a Project (.uproject) file with the same result.
Through Epic Games Launcher>Settings>Troubleshoot, I note that all it’s tests of the hardware and software passed. Does anyone have something I could try?

Are you all using Macs? I’m using Sierra with an AMD video card. I looked up the recommended system requirements and Windows is recommended with a nvidia video card.

I fixed my issue by updating to Mojave.

If you update to Mojave on a Mac pre 2013 then you need to make sure you have a graphics card that’s Metal compatible.
