The issue is one created by Apple, because it's 32bit software and thanks to Apple non-64bit software is no longer supported by Macs.

So apart from no longer selling Rome 2 and other 32bit Total War games as Mac titles, there's nothing else CA realistically can do. The change isn't at their end, it's Apple that's at fault here.

You could try looking into running a copy of Windows on your Mac, as I believe that's what some people have done.

I know, it sucks. But it's an OS issue, not a game one.

All the Best,

This is what happens when a company controls the hardware,software and the services.
You get what they allow you to have.
Apple has not really given you options here. Ether invest in a PC or complain to apple really nicely or persistently with many of like minded people then cross your fingers and hope for the best.

sorry boss, thats a macos problem. theyd have to rewrite the game from scratch and macos is like 15% of the market max.

There was a thread on using portal kit to fix issue.

Imagine wanting to play computer games, but also buying a MAC.

Imagine play Total War Rome iOS on a PC ?

I don't get it. Im PC and Mac user and I own every single TW game. Rome 1, Empire, Napoleon, ToB all run extremely smooth on mac, hell even better sometimes then on PC. So they were clearly optimized.

And all the developers should need to do is recompile the Mac version, with the compiler set to emit 64-bit code. (If that doesn't work, then the code was already broken; it just hadn't been noticed yet.)

Hey, so its a couple years later. Is this game still unplayable on Mac M1? I mean without any third-party software that is.

[Yews]

It’s still unplayable and it isn’t going to change. That being said, people have had luck with Rosetta and the porting kit.

I still don’t get why twr2 remastered won’t work on Mac?

Why do older games like Napoleon or Medieval 2 work?
Especially if the macOS no longer supports 32-bit and only 64?

Rome II and Attila were ported by CA, The other older games were ported and updated by Feral Interactive that do just that for the Linux and MacOS.

For an unknown reason, SEGA-CA decided to not support any longer the Linux MacOS platforms.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
