Same problem, on a mac system that corresponds to the supported EA Specs:
Late 2008 MacBook Pro, 2.53 Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForde 9600M GT 512 MB, 750 GB Hybrid HD running Lion 10.7.5.
Flawless performance until EP09
Then, continual game crashing related to un-rendered store item thumbnails causing cider to crash. Related notes from Console system LOG:
