Starting problem in macOS
Game starts normally but after the intro screen (where canada media fund and unity logos appear) video stops working and just music continues. Is there a known bug about this issue or is it a solved problem?

adding option in steam settings for this game helped me -
just pun this line in option settings: -force-glcore

I got a green/black chess pattern screen, and I never get the games run. From supporting team said this bug was already fixed, but it stills occurring.

I play it on a Mac Pro 2019.

OP: What exact hardware model and GPU do you have?

When you quit the game and try again, what happens?
If you see the same issue: Try a few more times. Anything interesting happen? How often do you try in a row before having success or giving up?

The Intel UHD Graphics 630 does not have dedicated video ram, it shares part of the system DDR memory to process graphics. That said, TLD's minimum requirements for graphics is 512 MB of dedicated VRAM.
