I finally called them again and now I got the game on my Mac. 🙂

I tried to run the game and it wont work. I tried to follow through you link and did as was told but that doesnt work either :/

It will only open up and then freeze and I cant do anything.

    Yes! It a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13”, primo 2015) with Intel Iris Graphics 6100 🙂

    And i did edit in those files. The problem here is when i press open game. The main screen opens and the game freeze after so I have to turn my mac off :/
