Resolved Confused - Civ 5 of 2012 Mac Air

[Nova Sensei]

Hi guys,

I'm keen to grab Civ 5 for my 2012 Mac Air i5 8gb RAM. I'm not running Windows.

The App Store description states that the game does not support the HD4000. Is this correct? I've seen Youtube videos of people playing Civ 5 on Air's....

Thanks in advance for any info.

Sometimes "not supported" simply means they will not help you if it *doesn't* work on the computer, instead of not working outright. Someone will have to chime in who actually has Civ 5 and confirm if it works or not, but I expect it would work just fine, especially considering you found videos of people playing.

Ahhh, didn't think of it like that. Thanks very much

Edit: Found additional info here. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1387185/ Short answer is, yes it plays fine on low settings, but of course gets choppy.
