I'm guessing it wont run on macbook pro 2017

[Himura Kenshin]

I can see any room in multiplayer list, and I can't connect to my friend's room, fix this pleasE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange freezing here on Pop OS (Ubuntu based). Game plays smooth at 60fps and then has a heavy stutter for a second or so then goes back to playing super smooth.

Edit: Seems to be related to the UI, once i remove the UI by pressing K all stuttering stops and immediately resumes when I enable it again

I stayed up all night updating my Macbook software to make sure i'd be able to play as soon as it dropped but I keep having an issue where it's telling me my Mac doesn't have the proper software. I have a mid 2012 13-in. screen Macbook Pro with 10.13.6. I'm currently reinstalling the game after closing steam. Does anybody else have a similar problem ?

Hi BallengerBeNBAllin',

The reason you are seeing this is due to your macOS being 10.13.6, the minimum supported macOS version is 10.14.4 Mojave. You will need to update your macOS in order to play this game.

Please be aware that your MacBook Pro is also below the minimum hardware requirements to play this game as well as listed on the Store page under the System requirements section.

JUST AN UPDATE: So I updated my Macbook to the 10.14.5 (double checked to be sure) and it's giving me the same error message about the software. Anybody else using a Mac to play this? If so, which kinda Mac are you using?

[Eiffel]

Hi, I've not bought this game yet, because my iMac 21.5" retina is 2015 late version, which is not met an requirement.
However, I think my config is good enough: i7 3.3GHz CPU with 16GB ram and Iris 6200 (1.6G ram), OS version is Mojave 10.14.5
So, I want to confirm that is it need to have version 2017 up for iMac 21.5"

hello i am having problems with the display. no matter which setting i choose. anywhere i click near the bottom of the screen it will send me out of the game and it doesn't close the game.

Weird. Is this happening in other games? what desktop are you using? I know KDE has screen edges that can bounce you out if enabled.

Does steamcloud sync for game saves work cross platform across Mac and PC? My desktop is a Win10 PC, but laptop is a MacBook Pro.

Also, anybody else playing this on a 2016 MBP15 w/ i7 16GB & Radeon Pro 455? Does it run well on this system configuration ?

I deliberately installed TW3K on the weakest PC I could find. And it runs smooth and as fast as you could expect on the low-end hardware. I can get 1080p/30FPS in battles with "Large" unit size.

Bare in mind, this CPU is a 1st generation AMD APU. More like a low-level entry notebook CPU ... from 5-10 years ago. Not meant for PC gaming beyond older titles. These days, all modern smart phones or tablets have a more beefier chip than this.

I can run Tomb Raider, ARMA3, CoH2, TWWarhammer, Shogun2 etc on this thing with 30FPS (lower-to-mid level graphic settings).

Another thing that amazes me is how fast Total War games are loading on Linux!

On the exact same hardware with different OS (Win10 vs Ubuntu 18.04) Shogun2 for example loads btw 0.2-0.3x faster on Linux (ext4) than on Windows (NTFS-/ReFS). (I need other people to confirm this).

This old PC loads TW3K on an equally old HDD around as fast as the Ryzen7 2700x loads the Win10 version from an SSD.

Meaning to say, CA TW engine team & Feral know something. CA packages their data optimized for streaming. Data structures are lean. Concurrency occurs? "Data Driven Design"?

All in all = well played!

Hi Eiffel,

I'm afraid we can only suggest playing this game on a supported Mac as listed in the games system requirements. The reason your Mac is not supported to play this game is due to your video card and processor requirements being too low to support this game.

We hope this helps explain the situation.
