    Yes! Thank you GinaBruno for the update. I was just about to wipe and roll back to OS X, and then decided to check the forum one more time before doing so. I'm glad I did. So thank you thank you!

    This was really irritating, not amused! Was working away and took my MacBook (I normally log on on a PC at home)

    Obviously not being able to play over the weekend wasn't great, but not being able to visit the cyrodial golden vendor to buy the mighty chudan's helm was really REALLY annoying. It's not like it comes up often and will now get rarer too with the additional monster sets i guess :(

    Worst bit was this should of been tested/sorted when Sierra went into beta...

    I've been participating in Developer and/or Public Betas since Mavericks (10.9). Let me tell you, every beta build has been (sometimes vastly) different in terms of what was being broken, and what was fixed. That's exactly what betas are for.

    From a developers point of view, it's almost always the smart way to wait out for Apple to fix their damn stuff, up until the GM release. Better yet, wait for the .0 build of their software, then (and only then) start finicking with yours, in the vague hope that they'll only fix their own FUBARs from then on. Because trying to adapt your code against a moving target is somewhat like arguing against a moot point...

    I got a reply by email saying my mac can no longer play ESO because the graphics card requirements changed after upgrading to sierra, which makes no sense to me, I was playing just fine with el capitan:

    Mac Minimum System Requirements:

    Operating System: OS X 10.9
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo processor
    System RAM: 4GB
    Hard Disk Space: 85 GB free HDD space
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 460 or AMD Radeon 6850 (1GB of VRAM)
    Media: DVD-ROM
    OpenGL: 4.1
    Internet: Internet Broadband Connection

    Mac Recommended System Requirements:

    Operating System: OS X 10.9 or later
    Processor: Intel i5 processor
    System RAM: 4GB
    Hard Disk Space: 85 GB free HDD space
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 or AMD Radeon 5670 (1GB of VRAM)
    Media: DVD-ROM
    OpenGL: 4.1
    Internet: Internet Broadband Connection

    *A persistent internet connection is required to play.
    **System requirements are subject to change over time.

    I just bought this game a week before sierra went live. I hope I can get a refund!

    I bit the bullet and looked for a Windows laptop that would play this and other games for some time into the future. Been a Mac user since System 7 (mid 90's) and have always had hassles with integrated graphics cards on Mac laptops. Put up with low frame rates for years with WoW and now this hassle with getting TESO to run on a 2013 MBP. If TESO gets it working I doubt very much the frame rates will be great. I did some research and found:

    Loaded up TESO and it runs like a dream and with a graphics card that should be more than enough for a few years into the future. Not everyone's solution, but after all these years I'm just tired of waiting for Apple to put decent graphics cards in regular Macs.

    This is a big one, should be done in 3 more hours or so.
    Yeah man, I can't wait to play either.

    Thanks, but no thanks. ESO runs great on my machine and I have standards and Windows is beneath them.

    Anyway...

    I wish they would start using Metal. WoW did and performance went through the roof for me.

    My guess is that PvP participation will drop off a bit. There are a lot of people who only PvP BECAUSE they think they have an advantage.

    So, hoping here...quality over quantity?
