Where did you find the patch notes?

In my experience, Aspyr has done a very good job in delivering a stable and mostly bug-free game. The only real exception was a regression in an earlier build where fullscreen mode didn’t work.

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017) 3,4 GHz Intel Core i5 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 Radeon Pro 560 4096 MB 500 GB SSD Resolution: 2048x1152 (60 Hz) Average Frame Time: 26.976ms 99th Percentile: 42.045ms

Unfortunately, those 16GB won't help as the game can't access more than 4GB, being a 32 bit application. You could try playing on Standard size maps. That should probably reduce memory usage.

Civ V is a 32-bit application. 32-bit applications can only access 4GB of memory regardless of the amount of memory present on you computer. So those 32GB won't do you any good when playing Civ, unfortunately. My guess is that Civ V actually did run out of memory as it hit that 4GB ceiling...

Nice. Thank for the answer!

If one buys G&Ks using the Steam online store, does Aspyr get paid, or does the money go to 2K exclusively?

Shift-enter perhaps?

See this and this for comments by two users of the 21.5 iMac. But note that the current iMac edition is one year old and is expected to be updated in a while (see http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iMac).

1920x1080 is the native resolution of the 21.5" iMac.

Steam consumes about 16% CPU power on my 3.2. GHz dual-core i3 iMac when the Steam window is both closed and no game is running. I've also been unable to launch the game due to error with Steam. I would go for the App Store version.

Epic Small Pangaea. Perhaps 20 hours per game.

AnandTech has a review here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4205/the-macbook-pro-review-13-and-15-inch-2011-brings-sandy-bridge/8 Unfortunately, Civilization V is not benchmarked.

Sorry, no. At least not on my mid '10 iMac.

Loaded a saved Civ 5 game (using Steam) after upgrading to Lion. Worked fine. No performance drop noticed.
