I own EU4, Imperator: Rome, and I've recently bought CK3. I've noticed a few other people have the same problem as me, the difference is I use a Mac. It's only with Paradox games, however its exclusive to Imperator and CK3, I don't have this problem with eu4 at all. The problem started only a few months ago with imperator (I've had the game since release), the screen will completely freeze/lockup and make a weird noise until I shutdown my Mac.

What have I done to try to fix this?

I've validated files, uninstalled Imperator, deleted almost all the files except saves, then re installed. My problem still persists. It was manageable though and I thought it was related to the save itself. Also I'm far from an expert, but my computer completely meets the requirements for Imperator. Now, I haven't even started a game yet and the problem has now followed me to CK3. It only takes a couple of minutes of being in the menu for the freezing to occur. I know it's not the best to play games on Macs, but the one I have is fairly new and updated to a current version of MacOS.
 
Does your Mac have an Intel video system? If so I'm afraid that is not supported hardware for this game or IR.

Sorry about that!
 
Oh, what is the recommended video system/hardware?
  • MINIMUM:
    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Mojave (MAC OS X 10.14)
    • Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-7820HQ
    • Memory: 12 GB RAM
    • Graphics: AMD® Radeon™ PRO 560 (4 GB)
    • Storage: 8 GB available space
  • RECOMMENDED:
    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Mojave (MAC OS X 10.14)
    • Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-7600K
    • Memory: 16 GB RAM
    • Graphics: AMD® Radeon™ PRO 580 (8GB)
    • Storage: 8 GB available space
Intel is a supported hardware since IT WORKS ON BOOTCAMPS.

Please find a solution instead of repeat the same dumb thing.

Thank you
That is false. Some Intel hardware is on the supported list for Windows, but none is for Mac.
