The only way you will be able to play on Ultra without any lag is if you play on the higher spec. 15" MacBook Pro with dedicated AMD graphics. Or a 27" iMac, also with dedicated graphics. MacBook Airs are great but are simply not powerful enough to run any kind of game on intensively.

Hi @Philliestony2011,

Your graphic chip can't run the game on ultra without being "laggy". Please set lower graphic settings in order to get rid of the lag.
