Hello, i have a Macbookpro 13' from 2015. I really want to play this game but i will not buy a new PC. The specs for my Mac is:

2,7 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

I know that mac aren't the best gaming computers but i have played many games in this Mac.

Thanks in advance.

It's a Mac.

The game needs Windows and even if you installed it, your GPU is below the requirements. Your PC sucks for demanding games.

Are you trolling? A mac can handle the most demanding games. Why are you giving him the wrong info?

Intel Iris, yeah, sure. You're the one trolling here. As for "A Mac", to get a decent GPU on a Mac, you gonna need a Mac pro which is overpriced for what it offers.

Did you end up trying it? I have the same machine and wonder how is it in terms of performance.

Hey dude, did you try it and did it work decently on lowest settings?

I've tried it and it's unplayable. I've managed to get around 10 fps when inside, but as soon as people show up or you run outside, it drops to 5 :-( This was on the lowest settings I could setup.
I've read somewhere that it works fine on medium settings with external GPU through Akitio Node and people even manage to run it on Macbook Air with external gpu. So the gpu is the only bottleneck it seems.

Of course it is!

ya mac books suck for gaming, I have one. They can barely play minor games, nothing big or even mildly intensive will work. They even have trouble with Team Fortress, CSGO, etc..

It is a Windows only game. Use Wine or dualboot with Windows to play the game.
