[MAC] Portraits and terrain not visible

[vinnypatapov]

I downloaded CKII through steam, and the terrain and portraits are just showing up as a blank, black area. Any help? I tried switching to windowed mode and messing with the resolution, but it didn't help.

In Steam-Help-System Info, paste everything from there into here please, except the Installed Software list at the end.

Your machine is way under the published minimum requirement for this game, which is:

ATI Radeon HD 6750 / NVIDIA GeForce 320 / NVIDIA GeForce 9600 or higher, 1024MB graphics memory required

You only have 1/8th of the required video memory, and that video card does not come anywhere near the power of those listed. So I'm sorry but you'll never be able to play the game on this hardware. I hope you have access to a more powerful machine to play on!

Damn. Thanks anyway man. I bought the game back when I had a more powerful PC.

Thanks for the help!
