Impossible to play, low fps rate - Thismaad - 10-18-2015

Hi everyone,

This is a call for help. I just bough SOMA on steam, but I can't play the game Sad. Even with the lowest settings, it's just impossible to play, low FPS, not smooth at all. I know I'm playing on an "old" (really ?) mac, but maybe you can help me ?

+ a new SSD (trim enabled) and more than 100 go of free space.

What do you think ? Does anyone has the same issue ?

Thank you,
Le Thisma

The system is very weak and below minimum requirements. I'm not sure if the low FPS can really be helped. It's an achievement that you got the game running in the first place.

Though, if possible and you haven't tried so yet, reduce the resolution. That is the biggest performance impact of all the settings.
