BUG: Stuck in language selection after install on Mac Mojave

I'm not sure if there is a way to submit bug report other than this forum. I downloaded Pokemon TCG Live for Mac OS-X on March 15, 2023. The version is 2019.4.23f1 (3f4e01f1a5ec).

With iMac 27-inch, late 2012, (2.9GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512MB), it gets stuck in lanaguage selection. After selecting English as the language (I tried other langauge, too), it asks "Continue with the English language?". Then after pushing Continue, it says "There was an issue loading Pokemon TCG Live. Please try again. ERROR: [0]", and after I press RETRY, it goes back to the langauage selection screen. I can never pass this stage.

This is on Mac OS-X 10.14.6 (Mojave). I also tried with "Safe Mode" (disable extensions etc) and different user accounts with the same issue. I also tried it on a clean install of Mac OS Mojave, but the same problem continues. This Mac should meet the minimum requirements listed on the web page.

On the exactly same iMac late 2012, when I update to Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina), Pokemon TCG Live works. So it is not a hardware issue, and there is a bug in the combination of PTCGL, and Mojave on iMac 2012. With Mac Pro 5.1 which has Radeon RX-580, PTCGL works on Mac OS Mojave.

I also experienced a similar bud different problem with Mac mini (2011) which has Mojave (unsupported OS install with DosDude's Mojave patcher). After language selection, it becomes gray screen, and it automatically goes back to the gray screen. But I assumed that this was due to the fact that Mac Mini doesn't have Metal compatible GPU (it has Intel HD Graphics 3000).

I'm attaching the log file from "$HOME/Lbrary/Logs/pokemon/Pokemon TCG Live/Player.log"
