Mac version isn't running

[Zweihanded]

Hi. I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019) running wuth macOS Monterey Version 12.0.1 (21A559), 16GB RAM, Intel Iris Plus. After installing the game on Steam and clicking on play, the icon keeps bouncing up and down, but doesn't start. After a couple of minutes, it says "application not responding".

Any updates coming to make the game work?

My first launch of the game took so long to start, the first couple of times I force quit the app because I thought it just wouldn't play on my hardware. Once I just waited it out, the game loaded up - and I had nothing running apart from Steam.

I'm running Solasta now - pretty slowly but fast enough to enjoy (except for in-game dialog scenes and crossroads random encounters) - on a 7 year-old 15" MBP (running Big Sur OSX 11) and I found the latest public beta version 1.2.10w to be more stable than the current release.

YMMV but I can play reasonably well on an Apple 24" LED display at 1920x1200 provided I turn pretty much all of the advanced graphics features - no AA, no VSYNC, no Depth of Field, no Shadows, no Ambient Occlusion, etc.

Same problem: Late 2015 iMac Big Sur and still very capable machine but like the OP the Solasta app will not start. After a minute of 'bouncing' it merely says not responding.
Sadly I will have to get a refund but will keep an eye on the patches to see if a fix is forthcoming. It shouldn't be too difficult to test deployments to common Macs.
