Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Why no Mac LION (OS X 10.7.x) support?

As noted in your release notes, D:OS requires Mountain Lion or later. The Steam client does download and install D:OS on my 2006 Mac Pro, but when I try to run it, it crashes. No surprise there. My machine runs Lion and can't upgrade the OS beyond that. (There's an unsupported, tricky workaround to upgrade to Mountain Lion or later that I'm not going to use.)

QUESTION: are you sticking with this policy or is there a chance D:OS will support an earlier version of the Mac OS?

Unfortunately it's a major pain to make OS X 10.7 OpenGL work. Although making it work on 10.8/10.9 also introduced a couple of nasty surprises it's nowhere near the amount of pain that 10.7 can bring on us.

I guess your machine is MacPro A couple of people already complained and then successfully upgraded to 10.9 and played the game.

The short answer for your question in near future: we need to support OS X 10.10, so this will be a priority for future OS X development. As for long term future - sadly no idea.

THANK YOU FOR THAT!! I figured something like that was the problem. And yeah, I saw that hack. Actually I'm doing fine on another machine, although I prefer the MacPro 1.1. I'll probably upgrade to a newer Mac later this year.
