Unplayable

Loved the first iteration of this game, Rome, Total War. But this version is unplayable: graphics/play in all modes are extraordinarily, frustratingly slow. And I’m running it on a brand new Macbook Pro laptop with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, and Intel Iris 1536 MB. Something’s wrong with it. I spent time messing with the graphics quality, from worst to best, and nothing resolved the problem. After some searching around, I haven’t found any advice to help resolve the problem. And frankly, if you’re going to sell a game for this much money, you should have the expectation that you can start the game and actually play it, not hunt around the web searching for a fix. At this point, I’m chalking it up as a loss. Super dissapointing.
