[2022] Please fix the unplayable performance on the Mac M1

As this game is unsupported on Apple Silicon, I doubt very much this will ever be fixed, I'm sorry to say!  

Dimillian said: Could we get more information on that? Because M1 / M2 is the way forward, and if Paradox don't officially support it, it's like Paradox stop supporting macOS platform.

I'm not sure what kind of more information you might be after, but the status is the same now as when I wrote that last week.

The game is supported on Macs that meet the published requirements:

• Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-7820HQ
• Memory: 12 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD® Radeon™ PRO 560 (4 GB)

While I have no inside info from the developers on this, the fact is Macs are less that 5% of the player base, and Apple Silicon Macs a very small portion of that, so I would speculate the ROI is just not there!

Dimillian said: I remember reading in some Reddit AMA that a native Apple Silicon version was in the work for Victoria 3, could you confirm that?
Right now it does run very bad on MX machine using Rosetta....

I am unaware of that; was it an official Paradox statement? It does not seem to be the case right now:

• Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-6500
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD® Radeon™ R9 M380 (2GB)

 

You said "a native Apple Silicon version was in the work for Victoria 3," but that quote says it is not ... ?!?  

I don't have any channel to them I'm afraid - after all I'm an external contractor, not PDX staff as such.
