Dear Devs pLease add steam trading cards

What exactly was the benefit of the collaboration? The only qualifier for a Windows game to run on Parallels is that it use an older version of DirectX, unless that's changed as well in which case the collab seems even more pointless.

Regardless - As the owner of both a mac and a PC I don't recommend going this rout to play the game at all. RTS is one of the few genres that actually throw modern games at MacOS and you shouldn't have to compromise to get that kind of gameplay, especially with Starcraft 2 being essentially free at this point. Mac users need to stop bending over and putting in extra work to play games, that just further reduces the monetary incentive for devs to make games mac native. Maybe try Total War Warhammer 2 - Feral did amazing with that.

On the windows side of things, the game isn't exactly perfect either. Running a Ryzen5 3600 and Radeon RX 5700, the game occasionally fails to load in textures for certain types of terrain, leaving the ground jet back with trees and such appearing to hover over an empty void. The game requires WAY more horsepower than its visual output suggests - Minor skirmishes in AoE3DE have sent my GPU fans at full speed trying to keep up, while it handles 40 unit vs 40 unit (Thousands of models) battles in Warhammer 2 with ease - And Warhammer 2 looks WAY more visually stunning than AoE3DE. The artstyle was made to look good in closeups, and isnt especially readable from a long distance like you want in an RTS, so you WILL probably be playing the game with certain settings turned down or off anyways.. I imagine all of those problems would be 100x worse if you were to try playing on a Mac.

Haha, I play that on my A8 7650k with 6gb RAM and 2 VRAM on windows 7, I am sick.

After the new update "hotfix" it litteraly crashes but before the update it worked just great. fix it please !

Just port it. Not a fan.
Yet because of ARM not much Mac ports will ever see the light of day anytime soon, I guess. It's a shame.

@Simone what do you think, how would it be if they allowed us 300 pop? Can't you see how optimized the game? LOL. I think then, people with good pcs would start incresing the pop so your pc would fry.

this is not my fault nor yours if the game is badly optimized! it's only the fault of whoever released the game .. I think it would still be necessary to optimize everything and increase the population ... at least to 500 like the other previous titles ..

If you understood the gravity of the units in this title, you'd agree that 200 is perfectly acceptable. No way in hell do i want to play a game with above that when cannons can be mass produced and basically wipe out everything in seconds. Or war wagons/curassiers for that matter.

yours is a nonsense speech .. if I make 100 cannons and my opponent only makes 10 it means that my opponent was not good enough at producing resources and making more cannons ... I firmly believe that this thing should be added ... of course this does not have to be shared by all the players .. we let you choose before each game if you want to play 200 or 300 or 500 population .. the choice must be there .. I am already genuinely tired to play with it .. after 4 games I realized the limitations of this game and I try to bring them .. then the developers can do whatever they like .. meanwhile the game remains on steam and I don't play it, naturally with a nice negative review .

Lmao are you serious? This isn't a solution, you're telling people to virtualise windows in MacOS to play a single game?
"it's easy to play AOE3 on a mac! Just install windows!"

Why can I not Download from Stream ? I have downloaded Parallel, all okay. Bought the game on here, and now it will not let me download it.

I have been successful at playing AOE3 DE in single player on my M1 MacBook via Parallels, however when a multiplayer game loads up it states “Out of Sync” and immediately exits to the main menu. This happens if I join or host a multiplayer game.

Any advice on fixing this issue would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
