HI,
I’m also on a 2012 macbook pro (retina), and the performance is only so-so.
Can anyone tell me what SMC is? How do you reset it?

Hi,

Initially the game was entirely unplayable, both at retina and lower resolutions. In many cases I could walk pretty smoothly forwards, however when turning around it would stutter extremely badly, like less than a frame per second.

However I have tweaked the settings a bit, and found that the single most effectively way to improve performance (besides the obvious like lowering the resolution) is to turn OFF reflections. Reflections has a HUGE performance hit.

The settings I use now are: 1440×900, pretty much everything to High making the game look very well. With a few exceptions:

-NO Reflections
-Shadows on Medium

I hope this helps someone. At least I would recommend that you try the above if you are having performance issues on mac.
