Game won't work (but for mac)

[Mello]

Long story short I used to not be able to download ROME II after macOS Catalina, but with the new update to BigSur that block is gone. But I seem to be having the same issue I saw in another discussion (they were on windows) where I get stuck in the "Total War Rome II" black and gold background. I can hear the music and the scenes playing... but there's no picture. Has anyone figured out a way to solve this? I've tried verifying files, installing and uninstalling, and using "-force-glcore" as a launch option - nothing seems to be working. And yes I know PC gaming is infinitely better but this what I'm working with:/ Mac is only like a year old too. Nothing wrong with the computer

Maybe this reply comes too late but in steam client click "manage" (gear icon) then Properties -> Betas -> select patch 16 from dropdown menu.
Although I don't really see the point playing the game without audio.
