I have a MACBOOK PRO and cant play Battlefield 1?

I have  AMD Radeon R9 M370X graphics hardware and message  comes back from AMD  " We are unable to find a driver for your system. No supported AMC hardware was detected. Is there anyway I can play this game?  HELP

    Your machine has Wintel type hardware, normally able to run Windows via Boot Camp, if the minimum requirements are satisfactory.  I haven't looked up that GPU before now, so let's see what I find, shall we?

    If there were, indeed, drivers to use, the GPU trails behind the minimum.  I see what you mean about drivers, though.  There is no matching Windows device in this case.  You'll have to sort that situation out with AMD. 

    P. S.  There was a second, generic post with a nonsense subject line, that I left where you had posted this one, the wrong forum )Dragon Age).  Was that a duplicate or what?

    Actually @Gorath_the_Elder - I believe Apple is in charge of deciding which hardware is allowed to get Bootcamp driver updates. So in this case I believe it's up to Apple then perhaps AMD.

    In short, I think the conclusion must be that's it's hardly likely that BF1 will run properly on Bootcamp at the moment.

    @JKTRRT 

    We've not heard further from you about either of the two posts on similar, if not duplicated , matters. 

    Without a matching driver for Windows, and Bootcamp, you are out of luck with that particular GPU, it would seem, and it might be APPLE holding up the parade!

    I'm really getting annoyed by all the finger pointing between Apple, whomever makes the Boot Camp drivers (for Win 10 on Mac), AMD and EA/Origin. After reading through the various forums discussing the lack of ability to play BF1 on a boot camped Win 10 portion of my 2015 MacBook Pro w/Retina, I'm basically being told that my rig is too old and maybe I should buy a new one. BRAVO-SIERRA!!! My MacBook Pro is just over one year old! I can play BF3 & 4 without issue at some pretty high settings, so WTF gives?

    My only course of action as an EA/Origin customer is to no longer purchase your games...unless you can either A) get together with Apple/Boot Camp/AMD to fix the issue or B) find a way to run your games natively in the Mac-environment (non-boot camp).

    Sorry for the late answer, I hope you already find the solution.

    there is mxDriver, a custom driver to fix your Problem on bootcamp, they upgrad it fast every month.

    I play with it on my iMac since november without problems.

    it is compatible with the M370X too.
