Wanted to add to my friend above: Mac player here, game immediately crashes on launch in OSX 10.12.6 on a Mid 2011 iMac. I Unplugged my second monitor and it launches fine. So I assume this issue was never fixed, seeing it's been know for at least a year. 

If it helps, I can run Endless Space 2 with no issue during the free weekend Steam just hosted. 

In (cyber)space, no one can hear you scream :)

Hello,

I know I have the game for months, but I was really thinking something would be done to solve our problems. Turns out nobody seems to really care.

So as this game is not playable for me (who would play a game without any sound at all ?), I'd like to know how could I have a refund ? I must say I'm really surprised, to say the least, that no other sollution than "unplug your monitor" was offered (and having to move a whole big wooden desk twice when I want to play a game is not a sollution).

Thanks, I really hope you will provide me with a sollution for the refund, that would just be the right thing to do.

The issue is not that we don't care about the situation, but that we don't have the resources anymore to do anything about it, since development on Endless Legend wrapped up after the release of Endless Legend: Tempest.

So, to be clear, you sell a game that isn't properly functiuning, and will do nothing to refund customers that were spoiled by this ? excuse me, I don't want to be rude, but I'm a bit frustrated to be treated like this.

"The issue is not that we don't care about the situation, but that we don't have the resources anymore to do anything about it, since development on Endless Legend wrapped up after the release of Endless Legend: Tempest. "

I am not a Mac user. But such an answer is simply disgusting. Since the release of the add-on was only a year. And you are still selling it, but do not want to fix bugs? 

Can it really be worth buying your games at this ratio? 

If you do not have the resources to support the mac - do not make it support on the store page. 

Many games are updated after years! Blizzard made a patch for Warcraft 3!(recently) And such patches do not only monstro studios! 

By the way, you seem to have bought a sega - you can no longer be called an indie!

Recently, there were problems with multiplayer games - it does not start - the start timer hangs.
Do you think the developers fixed this? I know 5 people with this problem.

I'm running into the same issue others have mentioned recently.  I'm running this on a MBPr 15" with a discrete GPU.  99.9% of the time I game, I use a secondary monitor and use the laptop screen for web-browsing, Spotify, etc, and 99.9% of the time, this works just fine.  However, with Endless Legend, the only way I can get the game to run is either in 32bit mode, but the sound doesnt work, or in 64-bit mode, by closing the laptop screen.  However, when closing the laptop screen, I get an "Out of range" error on my secondary monitor when running in 1920x1080p 60.  I've tried all sorts of fiddling with my monitor, but I'm quite certain its the game.  Running in windowed mode is a mess, and even at 1600x900, it's pretty crappy looking.  Really hoping for an update.  Considering Endless Space 2 runs just fine on my older Macbook, and this game has had considerable more time for "development", marketing this game on Steam to macOS users is pretty terrible.

@Frogsquadron

From one developer to another, I understand your sentiment. However, I feel it would be more accurate to say that Amplitude studios' executive team is choosing to not apply resources to any outstanding issues in Endless Legend. Maybe this choice is what's best for the business. Even so, it doesn't feel great from where I'm sitting. Anything is better than nothing, even if it's an unsupported patch in the Steam beta patch channel.

In my case, having an external monitor caused the problem. May be due to using Nvidia web-drivers and a third party HDMI audio driver. 

MacOS Sierra, iMac 13.2, Cinema Display 27". Cant launch game while second monitor is plugged. Changing Video Driver doesn't change anything. 32-bit client stucks at startup screen either with 1 monitor or 2 plugged. Only 1 working scenario to launch game - unplug second monitor launch game in 64 bit mode, plugin second monitor and play until crash (which always happens after some time playing).

Here is hoping that you guys will rewrite the game for Metal some time down the road. I think it'd solve a bunch of issues that been around for as long as two years.

I have a two-monitor setup as well and I can confirm that it causes the startup crash. One workaround might be that change your main screen to the external monitor (drag the menu bar to the external monitor in System Preferences - Displays - Arrangement) but it doesn't work 100% of the time. Unplugging the external monitor solves the problem but it's a pain.

Running OSX El Capitan (v10.11.6) and MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).

Launching Endless Legend from Steam would sometimes start and sometimes crash (mostly crashing).

For some reason, I had to use the following tool to force dedicated GPU prior to launching the game.

This consistently launches the game for me. I haven't tested on newer macOS/OSX versions.

Thank you for sharing this, I'll add it to our troubleshooting steps!

When I right click on "Endless Legend," it allows me to view package content.  I then am able to find a folder for "Frameworks" and then a folder for MonoEmbedRuntime.  The latter is the only folder inside of "Frameworks."   But all I can find are 2 "dylib" files. One of them is libmono.o.dylib.  Inside the Data folder I found a "Mono" folder.  But basically I am looking all over and not finding any .pkg files or file names starting with "monoframework"
