Linux Question: Can we use the workshop to install mods or are we doing it manually again? And if it's manually are the steps the same as before?

Hi McCoy!,

You can use the Workshop to install the mods. These will also appear in the pre-games options window under 'MOD MANAGER' which can help you manage the mods you have installed.

Thanks for the reply! I bought it and figured that part out. Unfortunately my old gaming laptop is too out of date. It says my graphics card is unsupported but gives me the option to continue anyways. When I continue it crashes so I can't play anyways until I upgrade my computer. It's an old Asus Republic of gamers laptop with a nvidia GeForce GT 560M graphics card if you were curious at all and I was running the game on SteamOS

Hi McCoy!,

Thanks for letting us know, we are sorry to hear your not able to play the game. I'm afraid we can only suggest playing using supported hardware. If you are able to upgrade in the future then we hope you enjoy the game!

Hi floris1001

I'm afraid if you are seeing this message then your Mac is not able to play this game. We can only suggest playing on a Mac that meets or exceeds the system requirements. Please check the games store page for further information on the system requirements.

I'm sorry I cannot offer more encouraging news.

Hi I recently downloaded this game from Steam for Mac, the game installed fine and began working when I opened it in the setup screen however when I go to start a campaign It loads all the way then freezes on that same load screen at the end and I have to turn off my mac.I can still here it running in the background(ambient sounds, a sword clashing noise etc) at first then music stops as well. Any suggestions ?

Oh im running a 2017 Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz proccesor 8GB ram graphics is a Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB

There are no particularly game-breaking bugs, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...

There are constant micro-freezes, and sometimes even macro-freezes. Oddly enough, that happens only on the stragetic layer - battles play seamlessly.
