Super Low FPS on New Macbook Pro - CrashTestDummy - 06-07-2016

Greetings,

I'm attempting to play SOMA on my Macbook Pro. I'm on a 13'' Macbook Pro Retina (early 2015 - latest model...). I have a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB. Game's installed via Steam on a SSD.

The FPS is so low that it's unplayable. I'd estimate I'm getting maybe 2-3 FPS. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game (via Steam), with no obvious impact.

Can anyone suggest proper settings to make the game playable? I know my MBP is no gaming machine, but it seems it's within minimum specs.

I should add that I've turned the render quality to low and shadows off.

Intel graphic cards aren't supported by the game, as it should say in the system requirements. Not sure if this can be fixed.
