Hey guys. I am an avid Civ 5 player and recently downloaded Civ Beyond Earth for Mac. I have a 2011 Macbook Pro with an i5 (2.3) and 4 GB of ram. Just a regular hard drive not solid state (but I have over 400GB available).
I downloaded it from Steam and was excited to get going. However, the game is basically unplayable. Certain elements never load and it is extremely slow. Like, it takes seconds to just click on a unit. Backrgounds seem to never load fully as well.
I verified the integrity of the download, tried again, and it was the same. Deleted file and redownloaded, same thing. I've watched videos on the game and it runs fast, and smooth just like Civ 5 to a degree.
I have over the minimum requirements. What do you guys think is wrong? Screenshots below:
