    Hello, sadly this game is not compatible with any Apple products. If you purchased it through steam, you can refund it.

    If you have windows you can boot camp your Mac, so it runs Windows. But Mac's have poor thermal solutions and weak graphics cards so they aren't gaming powerhouses

    I have a 2016 MBP 13" with the Intel Core i5 6267U (2.9 ghz dual core with 3.3ghz turbo frequency, the iris 550 and 16gb of ram. On BootCamp it runs really well at 1280x800 with settings on the lower end. On simpler maps you can either go for 1080p or make the graphics a bit higher without tanking the framerate. To make sure thermal throttling doesn't happen, make sure it has air all around the machine and set the fans to 100% through MacsFanControl. All in all I was very surprised how this "glorified web browsing machine" handles beamng.

    I have a alienware 2013 something blah blah blah.

    Then for school I needed a Mac. I bought a 2017 MacBook Pro.

    I used a program called wine and got it working. as a thirteen year old it took a bit to understand but it worked:)

    you can also use crossover:)

    but crossover costs money

    Wine makes the performance quite a lot worse than natively running it in Windows (Bootcamp)
