Hi Irium

The biggest cause of performance issues on Macbooks that we see are the Sunshafts and Water effects, can you please try turning those two options down to low, and see if that makes any difference to the issue you're experiencing?

However just to clarify, is the game lagging, like a connection issue, or are you experiencing low frrame rates?
