Exactly the same issue with a late 2014 MBP with GT750M. From what I can see the issue is its trying to run at full resolution (2560*1600) and this kills the frame rate. You can see the resolution in the user.cfg file, but even if you edit it here its just gets reset back to the native screen resolution when you start the game.

Why oh why is there no way to change the resolution the game runs at within the video options???

My native resolution is 1080p. I tried this game on windows side and it's running pretty much all turned to high in that resolution.

Just purchased this and wish I hadn't!! Completely unplayable frame rate on Core i7 3.4GHz with 24GB RAM and GeForce GTX680MX with 2GB with all graphics setings at minimum

Same experience here unfortunaely. Completely unplayable on the late 2014 rMBP with the 2.5GHz i7 and 2GB 750M. This must be a bug because every other game runs like butter in the sun and Last Light (non Redux) ran perfectly playable even on a mid 2010 dual core i7 with the 512MB Geforce 330M. That card is like a fraction of the power of the 750M and it's not like the game is 8 times more graphically demanding now. I reckon it's a bug related to the retina display (but it happens on a FHD TV too, performance is piss poor.)

You are going to need to adjust your desktop resolution to something lower before launching the game. The game will adopt whatever resolution is running on the desktop. It's a pain, but that's how it works. There is no way a 750m is going drive this game well at 2560x1600.

For fug's sake, please take it off the store page.

There isn't even a compromised scenario where selling this product for the Mac makes remote sense, because nobody can get over 9 FPS. NOBODY. No such scenario exists besides the developers/publishers greed. At least that is most certainly what it looks like to the community.

It is blatantly obvious that there was zero developing/testing of this beyond one lonesome Mac somewhere in the Ukraine, because thus far this is not working properly on any customers machine. Now that is a problem, no?

The right thing to do would be to take it off of the store page immediately, give us our money back, and ask us if we'd like to keep the title installed and call us ALPHA testers. Not beta testers, but ALPHA testers; becuase ALPHA isn't even where this port is currently.

Cheers

Problem seems to be with nVidia cards only. Ppl on Radeons report decent performance and I have successfully run the game at very playable levels on Intel Iris Pro. Not a chance on the GeForce 750M though. No problems under Windows. Suspect it's a Mac only, nVidia driver related bug.

Did you turn off the advanced physx in the game options? This usually fix this kind of problems in metro games on windows systems, don't know about mac though.

they're disabled by default

Does anyone has news on this? I am a little bummed that there hasn't been an update in a month..

If you have an Nvidia card, do try the new Nvidia Web Drivers, downloadable from their web site.

The game was completely unplayable for me using the default OS X (El Cap) drivers. Hell, even navigating through the config screens was a chore. With the Nvidia Web Drivers, I can play this game at last1

Hey all, im running a 980ti and a i7 5930k, and this game is borderline unplayable. It runs at 60fps, but stutters like nobodys bussiness. Not sure what the issue is. Just a quick turn of the camera, or a creature jumps in my face it drops to 50 or 55. Massive stutters everywhere.

I finally tested this game with recent Nvidia web driver and it finally seems playable! Runs actually pretty fine.
