So let's get out of the "Hurr durr, Mac can't play games" rhetoric.

Prison Architect, Besieged, SpaceBase, KSP are all lower infrastructure games that work great.Īll of these games have given me zero problems and I'm on a late 2011 MacBook Pro with a 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram, and an AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB Graphic card. World of Warcraft (haven't tried anything past Cata) works fine. I have Dragon Ball Xenoverse right now and it works fine. I played the crap out of Shogun 2 and never had a problem, even during massive 2000+ man battles. After having a motherboard in an HP fry twice within 6 months, my Toshiba start dying after a year, I decided to at least try Mac, especially since it was to be a Christmas gift. Otherwise, CA need to seriously rethink their policy of releasing Total War on Mac OS.Īlright, I got my mac because I had PCs my entire life. In its current form it is fundamentally broken, and really should of been delayed until it was working as intended. Tldr: CA should be ashamed of Attila on Mac. CA should of delayed the port until it was in working order or, if they really aren't capable of providing the same attention to the development of the Mac version, it shouldn't of been released on Mac at all. This game (on Mac) really isn't in a state fit for release. If a developer makes the decision to simultaneously release the game on both platforms it should perform equally on both platforms. A smaller user base or limitations of the operating system don't have anything to do with it. What I don't understand is why CA chose to release the Mac port in its current state, when it is quite clearly broken and for a large number of customers frankly unplayable. I understand porting a game to Mac presents various challenges, and I acknowledge Attila is asking computer hardware to do much more than Napoleon, Shogun and even Rome 2 did. The graphics card issue that disrupted the Rome 2 release seems to have returned! The game doesn't even support the native iMac resolution! Something Rome 2 did just fine!

For some people the game flat out refuses to start.

I understand there has been some controversy over performance of the Windows version, but the current state of the game on Mac is quite frankly a disgrace. Currently, the game runs fantastically on my system on high to ultra settings.

Rome 2 was CA's first foray into Mac ports, and for that I forgive them for the initial problems. Unfortunately, this means even when the game is set to the highest settings, it still won't look as good as it does on a Windows machine. To make things worse, several graphics settings are completely unsupported on the Mac version, something that was never an issue in the ports released by Feral. This was eventually fixed on the steam version of the game, although some App Store users still experience this issue. Because Rome automatically downscales graphics settings to prevent out-of-memory errors, many Mac users found themselves forced to play on low visual settings when their machine was capable of much more. One of the main issues was the game would fail to recognise the correct graphics card (in my case the 780M) and instead utilise the inbuilt Intel graphics chip. The Mac port was released in conjunction with the Emperor Edition, and was this time handled by CA. The important thing to note here is that before Rome 2, all ports were handled by Feral Interactive, a very competent developer who specialise in porting a variety of games to Mac OS.įrom my own personal experience, I can say Napoleon and Shogun 2 run fantastically on my late 2013 IMac 27' (Gtx 780M 4GB, 32GG DDR3, Intel i7 3.5Ghz), I don't have Empire but I assume it runs similarly to Napoleon. Empire, Napoleon, Shogun 2 and Rome 2 all received Mac ports post release of the Windows version. Players who have registered for Total War Access will get the Amazons DLC for free, but note that you must link your Epic Games Store account before the 8th of October.įeral Interactive and Creative Assembly also shared the system requirements for Total War Saga: Troy Mac version, which requires macOS 10.15.Let's start by recapping past Total War games on Mac. The Mac version coincides with the Amazons DLC, adding new heroes such as the sisters Hippolyta and Penthesilea.
