I have solved the issue. Gambrinus you will not be able to launch the game unless you update to a newer version of macos. specifically 10.15 or newer.
Yup, I realized that. I'm unwilling to do that since I tried updating the OS two years ago to be able to play Imperator, the upgrade broke so many things so I had to revert.
But I tried launching Victoria 3 in Windows 10 Pro, running on Parallells, it didn't crash, but nothing else happened either…
I'll just have to conclude my iMac Retina 5K 27" 3,3 i5 is too old for Victoria 3, it has a nice screen and an insane 64 GB RAM though which makes it work just fine for other things so I can't really motivate buying a new computer just for this :confused:
Oh well, I will now have to find a way to lure my son away from his new gaming rig… :cool:
