Here's my specs:
MacBook Pro Retina 2013
Intel i7 2.3GHZ
Intel Iris Pro + nVidia GT750M 2GB
16GB RAM
OS X 10.10 DP3

The game was fine in the previous version of the game, but after updating to 1.0.67 I couldn't launch it anymore from steam (I get a spinning beachball)
The game launches fine if I double click on the bundle inside steam's folder.
After loading my usual save, I got a spinning beachball when the loading screen appeared, and after waiting for a while the game continues to load. Upon entering the game, and outside of any battle, I noticed that the framerate was extremely low (less that half the usual) without changing any graphics settings.

I checked the console and noticed that while the game is running, the console is spammed with the following message:

and keeps going on forever until I quit the game.

Can you report a bug with Apple, please? We did some fixes to keep 10.10 starting but we definitely need some time (DP4 release f.ex.) before we can look at this issue.

And of course sampler output on beach ball will be very much appreciated. Mailto platon.fomichev@larian.com

Oh, and indeed solution might be to disable steam overlay

Hi,
so here's the thing. The game now magically starts again fine from steam.. I haven't done absolutely anything, not even a restart. I tried starting it from steam to get you the sampler output, but it started.
The hang before the load does still happen, though, but after a couple of minutes it starts loading. Would you like a sampler output on that?
