I'm sorry to hear CAVE keeps crashing on you.  A couple of quick questions:
- do you see any files in ~/Library/caveData/logs/ directory?  Could you send 
the
 most recent one, if so?
- what version of MacOS are you running?
- what version of CAVE are you running (when you go to start it up, it says the 
 version number on the right half of the splashscreen, under the rectangular 
icon)?

If you are not running the latest version of CAVE (18.2.1-2), could you 
uninstall
the current one, by dragging it to the trash, and reinstalling the newest one 
found
here, starting at step 2:

Thanks!
