I have a Mac Pro with the same flickering issue when I use the cmd+F trick. Through some magic I got it to run in a windowed mode. I changed my screen resolution to 1600x900 before starting the game. After starting the game I keep hitting cmd+f until I can navigate and change the resolution in game to 1600x900 as well and uncheck full screen. Then I quit the game. When I set my screen back to 1080p and start the game normally it stops flickering and works in a windowed view. No other resolution works for me. Likely a lot of voodoo and the trick is actually simpler but it worked for me.

Update. I have managed to get the game to load with a bit of voodoo. I disconnected the second monitor and did the CMD+F trick that flashes the screen for fraction of second. I set the resolution 1600x900 and now I can run the game in windowed mode only as long as only one monitor is connected. It's an improvement over not playing the game but requires a few hoops to make it work. I believe this is a UNITY engine problem (an old version of the engine has these issues in other games).

I am a KickStarter Backer and enabled my game via Steam. It works perfectly on my Macbook Pro but not at all on my Mac Pro Desktop (5,1). I have two graphics cards (a GT120 and a AMD r9 280x). If I have both monitors connected, the game does not load. If i have just the 280x connected it will load but with a black screen (i have been able to get glimmers of the screen via the CMD+F shortcut and get a work around). Once I was able to get it to load in a non-full screen mode and played for about an hour. After hooking both monitors to the r9 280x, it now again crashes as soon as I try to start the game. I know this system is stable as I have played LoL, Max Payne, Diablo 3 and a few other games with zero issues. Any help would be appreciated. Please find my player log below.
