green lines running through city

Basically my Macbook pro is up to date and have all the minimum specs. However throughout the whole tutorial there were green lines running through the centre of the city. I put up with it hoping that when I get onto a proper game it wont be like this.. i was wrong, it is even worse. I try to zoom in and out and they are still there. I have waited months for this to be released on Mac and its that bad I cant even play it

☹️ very disappointed

    Sorry! 

    System Information Profile

    The System Information Profile is OS X's Dxdiag information

    1 Select "About This Mac" from the Apple Menu (The picture of the Apple on the System Menubar)
2 
If you have OS X 10.6 ( Snow Leopard ) 
Click the "More Info..." button on the "About This Mac" dialog that appears.
If you have OS X 10.7 ( Lion ) 
Click the "System Report" button on the "About This Mac" dialog that appears.
3 Select "Save" from the System Profiler File menu
4 Save to a file on your Desktop in "System Profiler 4.0 (XML) and as a Rich Text Format (RTF)"
5 By default this creates a file named .spx and for the Rich text a .rtf
6 Save the information as both file types
    7 Copy the information into your post and use spoiler tags.

    @sambamspam,

    Actually we could do with the information about your graphics card and drivers.

    @laurenemily94,

    The issue is probably with your graphics card, since the Intel HD Graphics 3000 is the very minimum spec to play the game.

    Try tuning of shadows completely and run the graphics on low.
