Force Attack not working (Mac)

I've never been able to force attack, with or without mods. I've tried changing the key-bindings for force attack to something simple like 'c' or 'f', restarting the game, trying it, failing, changing it back to the original, restarting, trying, failing, resetting all key bindings, restarting, trying, failing. The simple 'f' attack works just fine.

I'm on a 2016 mac, had this trouble on Catalina and Big Sur. Let me know if you need any other information from me.

I need me some butterflies, hlep! 


Steps to Reproduce

Install the game through steam 

Play 

Try to force attack 

fail

...

Profit

I play on a 2014 Macbook Pro and force attack has never worked for me. Your best option is to probably use command + f. Although you may want to block command + w so your game doesn't close if you accidentally press it:

1) Launch System Preferences

2) Go to Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> App Shortcuts

3) Click the "+"

4) Set 'Application' to Don't Starve Together (dontstarve_steam)

5) Set 'Menu Title' to "Close"

6) Set 'Keyboard Shortcut' to "control + command + w" or "option + command + w" You do this by hitting the key combinations while the cursor is in the box.

 

If you can't find the Don't Starve Together application in the Applications menu:

1) Do steps 1 - 3

2) Scroll down to the bottom of the applications menu.

3) Choose Other

4) Hit "command + shift + g" and a box should drop down. In the box type

"/Users/***USERNAME***/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Don't Starve Together/"

5) replace ***USERNAME*** with your username. For example:

/Users/john/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Don't Starve Together/

6) Choose "dontstarve_steam" as the application.

7) continue with step 5 from above.

 

If this doesn't work let me know what the issue was and I'll try and help. Good Luck!

Wow thanks for the guide @Xoddam

I've added the command for Close, is there another command I should add for Force Attack then? All I really need to know is the "Menu Title" for Force Attack since I'm assuming that's the control/command we're overwriting in the game and I'm guessing the names have to line up.

Thanks again!
