Also in Steam please click on Steam-Help-System Info, and paste everything there into a text file and attach that here.
 
As your model of Mac only has an Intel video system, that is the cause of your problem. FYI this game has never been supported on that hardware platform since release!

All you can do is revert to the previous game version 1.10.2 in the Steam betas tab for the game. Or play on any other machine you have access to with supported hardware. OR, if you've just bought the game, seek a refund from that store.

Sorry for the bad news!
