Issues with Mac

I Bought the game for my Mac with Os 10.5.8 from steam yesterday and downloaded it. But when i press the "play" button on the steam library the game appear to start but immediately crashes and a window appears saying "Steam:error Unable to start the game (already running)" but the game is not running!
Also when I start the play button on the dock appears an icon of a paper with pencils, not the wolf one of the game. Anyone can help please? Thank you

TW2 for Mac is stated to require at least Lion (10.7.5). No way Leopard will run it. I just examined it today; the executable has linkage that doesn't work at all in Leopard, so it is working as designed when it crashes immediately on an operating system that is stated to be unable to run it.

Developer Vinthir said in another thread that it uses OpenGL 3.2 Core, which is first available in Lion.

Steam doesn't often do refunds for "didn't check compatibility before buying", but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I'm not especially knowledgeable about Macs, but could you run the PC version using Bootcamp? At least that way you wouldn't have wasted your money completely.

I think you'd have to get your backup copy from GOG in order to get a PC version that you could use with Bootcamp, but so long as your hardware is sufficient, that would indeed get you going.
