Empire Total War Not Working on 2013 iMacs

Greetings,
I just purchased a high-end 2013 iMac with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB. I downloaded Empire Total War (ETW) from the App Store tonight and after installation, got the message: "This Mac is not supported".
After looking around, I found a Feral posting saying: "The following graphics cards are not supported: ATI X1xxx series, Intel GMA series and NVIDIA 7xxx series."
Can someone smarter than I confirm that the GeForce GTX 780M 4GB graphics card won't in fact play ETW? I can't be the only one is this boat...
If so, is there a workaround? It seems odd that Feral would sell a popular game on the App Store and not allow top-of-the-line iMac's to play it...
Thanks!
Loyal iMac User

Hi there, I'm in the same boat. The issue has come in with way OS X Mavericks reports the VRAM of the GTX 780m.
Feral have confirmed that they are testing a patch to fix this, unfortunately no time frame was supplied for when they will release this.
Hang in there, dead annoying but nothing that can be done.

  • Trouble with Installing Empire: Total War; downloaded from Best Buy Pc app

    Hello,
    I have had troubles downloading and installing Empire: Total War. At first, I coudn't download it but I now have figured it out. I checked today after work and it successfully downloaded. The trouble now is that I have the files but can't seem to install them. I pressed the "install manually" button within the Pc app but nothing happened. Help would be appreciated!

    Hi mhviking25,
    You should be able to locate the game data files here:
    C:\Users\ [User Name] \AppData\Local\Best Buy pc app\DigitalShelf\ [Your Game folder]
    In that folder there is likely an executable install file (.exe) that you could try.  If it's not there or that install method doesn't work, there may have been a problem during the download process and you'll want to try a re-download.  I know that not ideal as you ran into issues trying to download it the first time but hopefully it doesn't come to that.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Empire: Total War - Gold Edition, v1.0 (12+)

    I am having trouble installing
    Empire: Total War - Gold Edition, v1.0 (12+)
    I am not on the fastest internet connection; nevertheless, it this program should download.  Yet, I find myself trying to down load it through the night to find it has frozen again.  Does Apple Inc have a solution or does will it continue to ignore the matter?  Dunno... we shall see if someone can help.  I have notice I am not the first to complain that this game does not work for everyone, despite having already paid my forty dollars.

    Okay, I have solved my own problem.  I shutdown my display "screen savers" and my "energy saver" services under "preference." I then turned down my monitor brightness, so to reduce the wear and tear on the monitor.  This was all done to prevent my MAC from shutdown and interruption of the the extremely large file download.  So far, fingers crossed, the program has not had a single hitch.  In closing, the preference setting under display and energy saver was set to "never." And monitor brightness reduced to lessen the chance of damage to you monitor left for a long period of time.  Hope this helps.  The game is really good!  It was worth the work to figure out, though Apple should provide a better work around.

  • Need Some Help! Empire: Total War Digital Download

     I Purchased Empire: Total War for windows through the best buy digital downloads. I succesfully downloaded the main setup to my desktop along with all seven setup files, However when I open the main setup file it asks me to insert disk 1 in order to continue. I have never done a digital download before as I was afraid that I would run into a problem such as this and be out my money. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
    Also, This is the second time i have had to download the game form the digital library and i left all of the previous files on my computer when I redownloaded it. 

    Hello MCEMT306,
    Thanks for purchasing a Digital Copy of Empire: Total War at Best Buy! I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve played that game, but now you have me thinking about diving back in. When our Digital Library goes through upgrades, I have heard of discrepancies occurring with the video game files. However, I haven’t quite seen what you’ve described! No worries though, as most of these issues are quite easy to resolve.
    Before I reached out to our Digital Operations team, were you able to get this installed? If not, please let me know and I’ll happily assist in getting this taken care of.
    I look forward to your response and helping further if needed!

    I have an ATI RADEON HD 5450
    What is the possible problem?
    Thanks for every help
    Paolo, form Italy

    Paolo, the first thing that I would do is install the latest patch for the game.  Next, install the latest software suite from ATI; Catalyst Control Center.  This will allow you to control the fan speed of the video card.  If this doesn't solve your problem, let us know.

  • Anyone else having trouble downloading Empire Total War?

    I recently purchased Empire: Total War from the app store. I have a late 2011 13-inch Mac Book Pro. It runs 4 gb of RAM and has 200 free gb of storage. Usually, my computer is very fast in regards to downloading. However, this app has been "downloading" for around 3 hours and has made seemingly no progress. I know 12gb is a large file but I have downloaded similar sized files in the past and have had no problems. I read some comments detailing a similar problem with other users, specifically when d/l ETW from the app store. Is this a sign that the game will not download? What course of action is necessary to rectify this problem if it persists?

    Really slowwww. Downloading Borderlands right now...

  • New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ?

    New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ....

    Because you require Lion to run it. You should not have installed it.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.

  • Imap and Pop not working on 2013 servers - BAD Command received in Invalid state

    Hello, 
    We recently moved our frontend server over to Exchange 2013. So now both internally and externally all mail traffic will flow through the new servre. After battling issue after issue I was able to get the new exchange environment working as it should. The
    only problem is that IMAP and POP3 logins do not work for 2013 mailboxes. It works fine for 2010 but not 2013. Here are the results from the testconnectivity website:

  • Final cut will not work on my Imac

    I've gone from a 5 year old mac book to a brand new Imac. My final cut express worked on my old mac book but is not working on my Imac. It is saying I need an AGP graphics card, what is this and can I add one to my Imac? Live type and soundtrack are working just not the actual final cut. Please no confusing computer terms as I don't understand half the stuff that is said in this forum! Thanks, Sammy.

    I have the same problem. I can't load and save any movie - shortclip. I have tried several ways without succes.
    I just bought FCE 4.0 and it's new to me. Nothing works for me. I'm still working in Quicktime.
    My camera is Panasonic Lumix TZ7 - AVCHD. I can see my clips in preview but when I put into Sequence a "red hand" shows me "NO DATA". What am I doing wrong? I have also tried different setups i Preference.
    (I have the book and DVD from Apple Pro Training Series - FCE 4, but when I follow the instructions it doesn't match what happens on my computer.
