2. Not saying that you have to, but are you able to upgrade that machine to any more recent version of macOS?

I can try that this weekend.

@cmn.jcs

I can try that this weekend.

Please do.

Also, when booting the game, are you able to select if you want to run it using the integrated Intel HD 4000 or the GT 650M GPU?

I believe I used to be able to make that choice if I wanted. But now the “Graphics device to use” dropdown is set to “Automatic,” and grayed out such that I cannot change it.

[Olof]

Yeah, I suspected as much. Do you remember which device you chose to play with when it was possible to switch?

[cmn.jcs]

Unfortunately, no.

[Olof]

Well let me know if you have the option to update and we’ll take it from there.

[cmn.jcs]

I updated to Mohave and it started up just fine, both with new games and saved airports.
