MtGA crashes during loading screen since Aetherdrift Update
As title says
I can't get MtGA to start since the last update because it crashes during startup.

Hi I'm having the same issue with the Aetherdrift Alchemy update on my Mac. Where can I find all of the data in my Library folder to delete?

I finally solved it myself.
So, apparently "deinstalling" MtGA via the Epic Game launcher still leaves tons of data in your Library folder, which will not get re-downloaded when you then re-install the game.
Deleting that folder in my Library folder made MtGA finally re-download all 10GB of assets/data and now it finally works again.
You might need to re-work how updates and/or checking the integrity of already installed files work. Or implement a "hard reinstall" button somewhere that completely wipes all MtGA data before reinstalling.

meanwhile, I even updated to the latest MacOS (Sequoia 15.3.1 ) hoping that this might fix the issue.
nope, still crashes during the loading screen
makes me sad because I spent money for the draft and sealed tokens and now I can't play it on the big monitor.
the aetherdrift update works fine on my iphone, but i don't wanna draft or play sealed on that tiny screen :(
