RenderDoc Meta Fork 68.11 Mac OS Crashing on Startup

I've been using the previous version 1.34 (I believe). Outside of known issues, it was working as expected. After installing 68.11, it crashes on startup 100% of the launch attempts. I've reinstalled multiple times and restarted my computer. I am on m4 macbook pro, mac os version 15.3.1 (24D70). I am able to revert to 68.2 with success.

I'm pasting the Apple Crash Log here:

    Hi robertcoomber,

    Thank you for reporting this crash, we have updated the link with a fixed version of RenderDoc Meta Fork 68.11. When you have a chance, do you mind re-downloading that and give ita try?

    Cheers,

    Jimmy
