Just purchased, downloaded. Game crashes after create character and begin

[dshulmistra]

Hello,

 

I just purchased the game a couple days back from the Apple store. I installed, booted up, created a character. The game begins with the beginning of the dialogue, but then it simply crashes and I cannot continue. 

 

What are the steps to resolve this? 

 

Thank you,

Dale

Hello Dale,

 

I apologize for the inconvenience. Could you please post up your computer specs. Also when the game crashes, the game produces a folder that appears on your desktop. Could you please upload that as well. You can do that via dropbox. 

 

Thank you for your support.

I merged your two posts together, please refrain from making duplicate posts. I will get to your issues when I can. But thank you for posting up all of your specs.

 

The issue appears to be your graphics card. It is a little bit below the minimum requirements. In your game options, please put the Quality Slider all the way to the left and see if that helps improve performance. 

 

Thanks!
