barnycarter Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I have a macbook. I have downloaded the FM2012 demo via steam. I try and run the game but I just receive a message saying "You cannot open the application fm because it is not supported on this architecture" Can anyone shed some light on what the problem is? I need to play the game! HELP! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyscarab Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I would guess that that's a system requirements problem. Does your Mac meet the minimum requirements? OS – OS X 10.5.8/10.6.x or higher Processor – Intel Processor Video Card – 128MB Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT or greater, ATI Radeon X1600 or greater Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnycarter Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have.. OS X 10.5.8 Intel Core Duo 2 The video card is the one that came with the macbook when I bought it. Would I need to buy a newer one to play the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 If that happens only with the FM Demo you should install it again, by delete local content in steam first. If it happens with other software too, it is probably a problem with your OS X and you have to repair permissions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnycarter Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 The problem only occurs with FM. I've reinstalled it again. Still does not load. A message saying FM quit unexpectedly has replaced "You cannot open the application fm because it is not supported on this architecture" I think my graphics card is Intel GMA X3100 It has worked for all previous FM's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyscarab Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Just curious, but do you pass this test: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ (select FM12 from the dropdown menu) Also, did you check the bugs forum. Apparently it's a known issue: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/276763-Mac-Issues-related-to-Intel-GMA-Graphics-Cards-READ-HERE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnycarter Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 The system requirements site didn't work, there was no drop down menu :/ Looks like I've got one of those unexplained problems though as I'm running 10.5 Thanks for your help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnycarter Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 It suddenly now works! Not sure why but not complaining. Will be buying the full game now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
