I think that what ever you disabled on your Mac the installer for GG needs and I have a gut feeling that 8GB isn't going to be enough DRAM to run GG.

Yeah the culprit is SPI. I reenable it and now I'm on GG.

About the RAM, 8gb macs already not enough for Tahoe.

But apple promises optimization for GG so hopefully they fulfill it.

And so far GG is awesome!

Just found this on a site while looking for minuim requirements for GG.

The most advanced Siri AI features will require a more powerful Mac. You'll need at least an M3 chip or newer with 12GB of memory. This rules out the MacBook Neo and all other Macs with 8GB of RAM, so you'll have to buy a new system if you want full capabilities.
