Mac-game crashes talking to pirates

I started turning on DLCs after learning how the game works overall. I clicked on pirates to try and negotiate, and it gives me the spinning wheel of death then freezes my computer a bit then crashes. It has happened twice. I am installing this mono framework that was in the game files that a 2 year old post said to do, but not sure if it will work and it is taking a while to install. I am on the newest update of the MACos.
