# Riven doesn’t start (or crashes!) on my Mac. How do I fix this?

We require MacOS 14.5 and Apple Silicon to play ***Riven***.
If you are on an Intel Mac, or on a MacOS version lower than 14.5, the game will not run and may crash on startup with an OS-level message.
These requirements are listed in the system requirements on our store page.
