So far as I know none of our games are tested on eGPU devices, I'm afraid.

Sorry about that!
 
Oh really? I missed that, sorry.

The game has not been updated for over a year (and will never be again) so it will be a MacOS or eGPU driver issue, it seems to me. Anything like that happen between the last time it worked and the first time this happened?
