Jan 26, 2012 - The 12 Best Games For Mac. Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Horror games tend to make players focus on retaliation, promising them the power to beat back the monsters and night-things that plague them. Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD.

I see an awful lot of Mac users on here complaining about poor game performance. As a fellow Mac user, this is a shame because depending on your hardware configuration you should be able to run the game just as well as on any Windows or Ubuntu/Debian/SteamOS machine. So I'm writing this thread, maybe it'll be pinned and maybe not, but I think it will be useful, especially to people who are interested in buying Skylines but do not know whether it will run well on their Mac.

To find out what version of OS X your Mac is running, and the model of your Mac, you can click on the System Menu (the one with the Apple symbol) and click About This Mac. The oldest version of OS X that Cities Skylines will run on is OS X 10.9 'Mavericks', the game does not support any of the 'Big Cat' versions of OS X.

I am going to use c o l o u r codes to show whether the listed machines will run the game well, fairly, or poorly. Running well means achieving a high frame rate at highest graphics settings with a large population and modifications from the Steam Workshop. Running fairly means achieving a playable frame rate at medium-high graphics settings with a large population.

Running poorly means that even on low graphics settings the vanilla game will be slow. The Mac Mini is incapable of playing this game. The original plastic MacBook is incapable of playing this game. The 2015 and 2016 models of the MacBook may be able to play the game but performance will be abysmal.

The MacBook Air is unsupported but some more recent models may play the game, but poorly. If your model is not listed below, then it falls below the minimum specifications and may not play the game at all. Models marked with an asterisk (*) are not officially supported as they use Intel integrated graphics, however the game will run - just not very nicely. This list was originally compiled on 2016-06-11 and last updated on 2016-06-11. Just to add my survival guide.

Disabling the Steam Overlay (Properties, General) fixed hang on initial game load issues. Verify Integrity of Game Files (Properties, Local Files) when things don't work, and before you try anything else. These two checks made the game stable, pre and post Mass Transit. The free Mass Transit update allowed Unity to support Apple's Metal API, bit it's glitchy, graphically speaking. -force-glcore in Set Launch Options under Properties, General, fixed the glitches. The brief time using Metal did not change performance, but I do find the update less taxing on my system, with or without Metal.

I don't think Unity has Metal figured out yet. If they ever do, it will be awesome. Not only do I find myself in the Mac subclass, but the Iris Pro subclass within the subclass. I've got a 2.8GHz i5 and Iris Pro 6200, 16GB memory, and the game plays fine with plenty of resources to spare. FPS is not great, but not distracting.

I can't see why Paradox would not want me as a customer, but they continue to tell me I'm unsupported. Tech Support: Bug Reports: (Never quote or otherwise publicly respond to moderation posts. How long does it take for mac to create a disc image free.

If you have a problem: PM a moderator.) Mankind fears thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of mankind. Bertrand Russell. I'm not sure how accurate this is. According to your post, the • MacBook Pro 15' Retina (Mid 2014)(*) (with GeForce GT 750M upgrade) should run CS well if the GT 750M upgrade is installed.

The machine has 16GB of ram, ssd drive with an I7 and the GFX card upgrade. The game runs very laggy with NO additional mods or assets loaded. I have checked and also noticed that the gfx card doesnt kick in properly to run this game which is a known issue if you simply google that.
