    If so, comment what graphic settings you are on, because If i go any higher than low, i experience extreme lag.

      My housemate is playing on a 2014 MacBook air (1.4GHz 13 inch) and can gets the settings on medium with no edge smoothing at the native 1440x900 at around 20fps

      me!! I play on medium settings and it runs pretty smoothly. I used to run it on low, but I got pretty annoyed seeing the sky in that dull navy blue color. The only negative is my fan runs pretty loud whenever I play, but that's not enough to stop me, I usually just put in headphones or something :p

      Me. I tried increasing them to their highest out of curiosity and when I reverted the changes it set everything to low. Which is ridiculous since I know my computer can handle it

      Hey! I'm playing on the Macbook Air too and these are what my game has been running on with little interruptions:

      I adjusted my graphics as Sims: Medium, Objects: Medium, Lighting: Medium, Reflections: Low, Visual Effects: Medium, Edge Smoothing: Low, 3D Scene Resolution: Low, and View Distance: High. Hope these settings will work for your Macbook Air.


      PS: Those fans are super annoying, but it's a small price to pay (hear) for this awesome game! :)

      Early 2014. Check if there are any software update for your laptop. I'm running on OS X Yosemite: Version 10.10.3
