Ditto.

According to Steam, this game is mac compatible, but it is not on current macs. Can't you even respond? Ideally there would be a pinned note so we don't have to keep searching around looking for updates. 

I play this on my M1 MacBook Air

You can switch it to I believe what is called Rosetta in order to make it compatible to function on your MacBook as "normally"

But it lags so hard for me on my MacBook, so I use Nvidia. Its a beautiful game on MacBook but unfortunately in the context of actually gaming I need to use NVIDIA Force NOW or whatever it is called ($10.00 a month) in order to play the game (That is streamed at less quality than it would be on my Mac)

It's not completely unplayable. I can force it to run under Rosetta, but the graphics bugs in combat view like this. It just surprises me that it could take so long to fix it

Sadly, I think that Amplitude has abandoned M1 Mac and doesn't even have the courtesy to tell us that...

That would be weird, going forward all Macs will be M series, maintaining an Intel Mac version is nonsense. Unless they abandon Mac gamers all together.

Sadly, it seems that Humankind will abandon all Mac gamers :-(

Well, that's obviously not good... Even worse than the black squares people reported in battles before.

Could you share your diagnostics file and player log so we can check on this? (I'm not familiar with where the game stores these on Mac, but you should find info in the How to Report a Bug thread.)

I got the same behavior(pink screen), but luckily I see log files and diagnostics produced on my Mac.

So I reported in the Bug Report forum, hope this will help locate the problem. Thank you for all the work behind the scenes! It feels really great to know Mac gamers are not abandoned.

Hi

Allow me to also second that it's a very pleasant surprise to see this news.  Glad to see that you all hadn't given up on us :-)

I'm running MacOS Ventura 13.0 on a Studio M1 Max w/ 64 GB RAM and I am also seeing the Pink screen with the update_preview branch (in both Rosetta and M1 native)

I found a Player.log file in /user/library/logs/Amplitude Studios/Humankind/ but not sure where I might find the diagnostics files requested

Hi Everyone,

I found this forum while searching answers for my problem with HUMANKIND on MacAir M1. Reading about  your issues it seems that their look like mine. After a few turns game gets frozen. It's very strange because i have already played more than 80 hours with no problems, loged in by classic way on steam not using rosette mode at all. Recently(ca. since two weeks) HUMANKIND get some update and from this moment I can't play more than 4-5 turns beacuse game gets frozen. Please help.

Thank you for this update. finally it works. I'll be able to play it natively and not with a poor virtualization service. I'll take some attention to the new civilisations added. Once again thank you for not letting us behind.

We still can't play on the M1 soon after around turn 120. After that point the software freezes and the game is unplayable?! You can reboot, load the game and I'm lucky if I get one or two turns before it freezes again. It's unacceptable that this game does this. I guess I'll have to go back to Civ6 until Civ 7 comes out. At least the Civ game worst flawlessly on my M1 Mac. I'm very disappointed after buying this game. The most frustrating part is that the game lets me get into it and it is fun, but I can never get past the industrial era. :(

Are you playing with or without Rosetta? You should not use Rosetta with the current version of Humankind.

I am not using Rosetta. It is a known issue as stated on the Steam Community page. So why can't they fix this already?!

Known Issues - Vauban Update [1.0.23.3840]

Known Major Issues:

• [MAC] Game hardlocks between turns 90-100 on MAC

Is that "known issue" being worked on and will I ever be able to play a game I paid for? Anyone?
