Even then it doesn't work unfortunately... Neither does dual booting the machine

Not sure whether getting an external graphics card would help... but again it's another additional cost and I can't guarantee whether it would work or not.

I don't think so, I've yet to see anyone be successful in playing mir on a mac.

I dont know m8, but i got 3 VM with Win XP Sp3 and works like a charm. From time to time it overheats but its decent

Step 1. Install boot camp and follow steps to install windows 10
Step 2. Play Mir

Enjoy :)

I'm interested to know what mac you're using and what VM you're using (VirtualBox, Fusion etc.)

I'm yet to find anyone that's managed to get it running smoothly with no gameplay issues on a dualboot let alone a VM.

I'm using Mir on a 2014 Macbook pro. I have downloaded Parallels Desktop and loaded windows 10 onto.. I do have some issues with the cave lighting, if my candle is on the character I see a patch of white blur, don't know if there is a solution to fix this. I'm also trying to get onto Zircon Mir but the map is completely white blurred, still waiting for a response from the GM team about this.

Why is everyone so baffled lol ? Load of people over the years have used Mac to play Mir obviously using some sort of VM, not sure why you would want to do it but can 100% be done, not sure about the newer verisons though that could be problematic.
