Game freezes after start up - Mac OS Sequoia

[greenrunn3r]

Hi. Have installed CK3 on my Macbook Pro. Intel core and Intel graphics card. The game launches but will freeze soon after loading. With volume up the games seems to be running cause I can hear the sounds from the UI and buttons when I move my mouse. So it might be a graphics issue? Always worked fine before updating to Sequoia 15.0. Removed mods, did a reinstall, verified on steam, and also wiped my computer recently but the issue persists. Wondering what is known about this. Any help is appreciated

Intel graphics card

As your model of Mac only has an Intel video system, that is probably the cause of your problem. This game now only uses Vulkan as a renderer, not openGL any longer. And Vulkan does not run well or in some cases at all on Intel video Macs. FYI this game has never been supported on that hardware platform since release, so really it's a matter of luck that it ever worked!

If that is the situation, all you can do is play on any other machine you have access to with supported hardware. OR if you have Apple Bootcamp installed, play in Windows there. Or, if you've just bought the game, seek a refund from that store.

Other options include using an eGPU, or a hosting service such as GeForce Now.

Sorry for the bad news!
