It's EA's fault. The game should have started on the 64-bit foundation to start with. When TS4 launched 32-bit computers were all but put out to pasture. They wanted the larger pool of customers that they would get by using a 32-bit .exe. Now that they've got them, "It's been real. See ya!"
The game has always been 64-bit for Mac. It was only one file that was 32-bit, or at least gave a false error message that it was 32-bit, and that file was not integral to running the actual game."Goldmoldar;c-17268242" wrote:
I do not know with those using the OS X Lion face an another dilemma, if they cannot DL any updates going forward they are stuck with any bugs that existed and were not addressed prior to the Oct update as they must make an choice to eithier buy an new Mac, PC or laptop.
Why do they have to buy a new Mac? Why can't they just update their OS? Machines that are not capable of upgrading past Lion are from 2008 and earlier so let's get real, that hardware is simply not powerful enough to properly run the game anymore and does not meet minimum requirements.
Macs are not as readily upgradable as an PC can be upgraded as I own an MAC desktop tower dated 2011. With Mac you can get so far with the OS before you have to buy an new model from current generation. There is another thing as the motherboard specs and other tech evolved to the point where it does not make sense staying with an older system and PC is not exempt from changing specs that require an new system.
