The game doesn't support M1 right now, not even with Rosetta 2. I've tested it on my M1 13" MacBook Pro and got the same experience you did.

What do you mine of M1 ?

dalon: My system is not too different from yours and it works. Maybe you have the OS set to always use the internal graphic card?

how do i change that?

It under battery settings.

And as to performance: for me, the impact of toggling the simplified units on makes quite a difference.

It's unfortunate I cannot play multiplayer because about an hour or so into the game it'll crash. There's no really no easy way to jump back into a lobby/game if this happens either, so there isn't even a good workaround. Hopefully they fix the stability of the game on macOS.  I've been able to play through the entire game (300 turns) but I have to do it with simplified armies and 'simple' graphics setting on 3200x1800 resolution.

Hi, I can't open the Mac Beta. Just doesn't load. Can you help me to tell me what might be wrong ?

Thank you :)

I play on steam. Game crash when starting a new game. keep on loading screen with graphic flashes. It's like if the game's turning behind this screen, with sounds of units moving...

It's strange I could play one time. But then crashed. When I tried another time to launch game, don't work.

I uninstalled 3 times, deleted user files. But loading for loooongs minutes. 

1) If you're on an M1 Mac, as per the system requirements the game is only supported on Intel based Macs

2) You can try to get M1 macs to work by running the game through Rosetta2. However this is an unsupported configuration

3) If you are on an intel based mac, and are having issues. Ensure you provide the necessary log files with your bug report

* system requirements

* save states if relevant

* player.log

* diagnostics.html

You can find most of these in ~/library/application support/Humankind

Without these the developers cannot address issues

My game always crashes on startup too, but I'm using an intel mac. I launch the game on steam and a full black window is created with the HUMANKIND logo on the dock, but it then closes itself after a few seconds.

Having the same issues as Vinze7, cannot get past 55-60% loading on a new game startup. MacBook Pro 15" with 16gb ram, 500gb storage, 2.3 quad core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

It will crash the computer if I let it sit there and try to load. I can't seem to get the upload to complete for the diagnostics file.
