Why does this version always crash?

I love the Total War franchise and have owned and played Empire and Rome I on a Mac. I purchased the Napoleon TW installment on Mac when it initially came out and had zero issues, although I would say the graphics and sound are comparatively lame to PC versions (i.e. smoke/fog effect non-existent, disappearing bodies, musket fire sounds more like a pop gun, etc.). Then, about 5 months ago, my hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Ever since the crash and recent update, this game crashes like crazy. As other customers have observed, it will randomly and unexpectedly crash and send me to my desktop every 5-10 minutes; sometimes within a few minutes of opening it.

This game is remarkable, and easily 4-5 stars, except for the crashes. Can someone please fix this?! And soon?! I’ve always been a Mac guy but my Total War addiction needs to be fed! If this keeps up I might just have to start looking at PC gaming consoles.
