Not able to even load Civ 7 on my MACBOOK

[murray_martin]

I've tried installing this game 2 times on my macbook and nothing loads. I saw on reddit that it's happening to other mac users. Why would they promote that it would work on mac and then it not even load on the early release? How can I fix this issue?

Do you have an M-Chip or an older Macbook with an Intel Processor like mine? The Game seemed not performed for older Processors and seems only run on M-Chips. I think, that this Issue never get solved. Only way to play Civ7 on a Mac seems to buy a newer Mac with an M-Chip setup

I have a macbook pro M1 chip with 16gb of memory. Works perfect. Loads fast no lag.

I have the same issue, it runs well on my MacStudio M1, but not on Intel MBP with 8Cpu (4.4Ghx) & plenty of RAM 64G.

Minimum requirement for Mac is an M1 chip. If you don't have an M1 chip, then the game won't even start.

I have an M3 Macbook Pro. Same issue. Game won't start.
