Turning down the graphics details to absolute minimum seemed to help somewhat, but not enough to make the program runnable.

Selecting 'New' or 'Continue' game results in excessively long load time, upwards of 45 minutes before the game map is finally loaded and active.Īccording to Steam, I've played the game for 108 minutes, but I've only seen the actual game screen for perhaps one minute.

Sound stuttering seems to be due to lack of system resources for the game.

CPU usage seemed to hover around 65% on average, though it swings back and forth.

Memory consumption is huge at around 85%–90% of the system RAM.

I figure I have roughly 1/60th FPS (do the math) and it has crashed the computer twice, a third time required a manual power down in order to recover the computer. Once I activate the game, it can take up to 40 minutes for it to load to where I have an active map. I'm having the same issues: iMac gets completely bogged down by the game to the point of uselessness.

What else can I try? Other 3D games perform absolutely fine at high-quality, including *cough* SimCity (hoping that's not too bad a word on here). Primary display: 27-inch Cinema Display 2560 x 1440.Here are my system specs (which seem far more than what's required): Zooming in (I thought it might be due to the amount of objects visible).

Using both fullscreen and windowed mode.Reducing every graphics setting to its lowest option or disabling it entirely.Here's a list of the things I've tried, none of which have had a noticeable effect: I love the game, though unfortunately it's becoming unplayable due to the amount of severe FPS lag and stuttering that I'm experiencing no matter what graphics settings I try.
