Just bought this game today... and it's causing a hard system crash. Never have this system crash once... but yeah. It's happened to me twice while trying to start ES2.

Summary / Title

Hard System Crash on Startup, Macbook Pro Late 2016, MacOS 0.12.2 (16C67)

Description

When I startup the game from Steam on my Macbook Pro, I see the SEGA logo appear, then black. I can hear the sounds of what I presume are a second logo or loading animation, but with totally black screen. The sound stops and the screen remains totally black. My computer stays this way for a few minutes, finally showing a system-error screen and restarting.

This system hasn't been problematic so far and other games work just fine. 

Intel Iris Graphics 550 is the graphics card, which I'm guessing is the problem... or the driver or something.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Game From Steam

2. Sega Logo Appears

3. Screen goes black with sounds

4. Black screen, no sounds

5. Wait.

6. Computer Restarts itself

Reproducibility

5/5

Expected Behavior

The game should launch

Version

Can't actually find the exact version number in steam for some reason... whatever is "stable" right now on Steam.

Notes

Can't find any crash logs. :(

Just tried 1.0.3 Preview... and nope. Still a hard crash.

Small hint.... I was able to get it to launch by immediately clicking the mouse when I heard the sounds right after the SEGA logo.

Guess something about that particular animation is problematic?!?

The game is now running... afraid to ever quit it!
