As much as I'd like to recommend this game, I can't. It is very fun to play, and can get very intense, but despite having 16GB of RAM, and the lowest possible settings, this game doesn't go over or even to 30FPS, and hiccups about every 5 seconds causing it to lag like crazy. I don't know if the Mac verision is just so poorly optimized, or if it is the game itself, but it barely runs while I have no issues with other games on the Source engine. If the optimaztion was improved, or it would run smoother, I would reccomend this game but I can't.

Uh... What happened?

The game used to be one of my go-tos for a while. It was relaxing, it was simple to learn, and it was free of bugs... Ever since this last update it has become a nightmare. My floor turns black and lags the game when 2 or 3 cars are in the garage, loading customer cars has froze and crashed the game, making me lose considerable progress, orders from the previous job are now showing up in my current customer's car, and my paychecks for fixing people's cars is cut short because of this. I don't know if this is an everyone problem, or if this just happening to me, but it's absolutely gamebreaking.

Not to mention, the Mac version has always had poor optimization in the first place, and lags a considerable amount, while my computer can run much more CPU-heavy games quicker. Maps take years to load, and even on the lowest settings the game still runs at about 29-40 FPS jumping up and down at random. Why? I have 8 GB of ram and can handle much more than CMS as a whole, so I don't see why it is hard to run.
