Mac Episode 1 -- Black Screen on Launching

[ftoddre]

Hi all,
Bought the Walking Dead pack and installed Walking Dead Episode 1. Upon launching it pretty much immediately goes to a black screen and I have to use the Command-Q to exit. Doesn't crash the computer as I can tell its still working but just brings up that black screen.

MacBook Air
10.7.5
Processer 1.7 GHz Intel Core i 5
Memory 4GB 1333 Mhz ddr3

Thanks all.

I fear your Mac doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

I am not sure that's all what happens though. The game usually downloads some updates at the beginning, so letting it sit for a while the first time (e.g. 30 minutes) might let it start eventually.

You can also try if you can see something, if your press Command + F to switch it to windowed mode.

Mac System Requirements:
Mac OS: Snow Leopard (10.6.X)
Processor: 2.3 Ghz Intel
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Hard Disk Space: 2 GB Space Free
Video Card: 512 MB NVidia or ATI graphics card
Not recommended for Intel integrated graphics or Mac Minis or early-generation MacBooks
