MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) slow when playing games off Steam
First time posting about a Mac problem. I have read up a bit and luckily found the threads where people asked for the EtreCheck report, so it's attached below.
My issue:
I've had this laptop for years. Ran adobe photoshop on it with no issues and periodically run it with no issues. I recently decided I wanted to get back into playing some video games for fun and downloaded a few off Steam - specifically Terra Nil - and it was lagging about 2 minutes into gameplay and then would just crash altogether.
My question:
I am aware that I need to replace the battery on my Mac - about to order and get that problem sorted. Is it possible that this is what is causing the crashing? Or is my machine now too "vintage" (as it states on Etrecheck) for running newer games? I'm not trying to be some kind of hardcore gamer, just want to be able to play some games when I feel like it.
Any ideas? Thanks all in advance.
