Not sure where you are on this, but it sounds like this might be directly related to the problems I have (and posted) with Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic crashing, as it uses 3D and my specs are:
Mid 2012, 13 inch MacBook Pro
Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
OS: 10.8.2
Memory: 8GB 1600 MGz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
Running: XP from a virtual machine (not BootCamp)
I might be able to help if you let me know what you want me to do.
