So hows that mac port going?

[LeonBlade]

Really? How goes all that gaming? Oh wait... you have to install Windows to do that on your Mac. Or just deal with slim pickings.

Try to act mature on the forums please. OS X is just an operating system, take a look at the business world, a lot of companies use Apple computers.

A lot of big companies use Apple products yes. However, outside of a few places with software specifically written for an Apples desktop OS, there aren't a huge number of actual Apple desktop computers out there. The people that do use them are often connected with other companies that also use them, so it seems that more are out there than there actually are. It's like when you buy a brand new car and you suddenly notice a lot of the same car when out driving. Nothing has changed, you're simply focusing on them more

You'll note I'm not saying that Apple doesn't have a large share of the business market, it's just not in desktops.

Our studio uses Mac's desktops.
However, they're niche, and nobody can deny that.
But they're pretty, reliable, and functional.
Gotta love that little workhorse cylinder under the converters.
Runs 24/7 and gobbles up absolutely everything.

I'd never game on FirePros, but I'm not asking for my Mac Pro.
I'm asking for my MacBook Pro Retina. Wanna see this run natively at that gorgeous resolution.

I know what you mean, I just don't like that people are having childish platform wars on the forums because people want a port.

Do they use OSX for gaming though? I think that's the point that was being illustrated.

No, but OS X can game just fine. I could run this game on my MBP with High settings just fine. That doesn't mean that an OS X build is appropriate for market, but my point is that there's no need for belittle OS X users on the forums.

What model MBP do you use?

Just wondering what do you mean by "fine"? I have to use standard settings to get 50-60 fps. If I go with high settings my fps drops down to mid 20s. I have a early 2013 MBP 2.4 GHz with nVidia 650 gtm and 8GB of ram. What are your specs?

The 2012 MacBook Pro Retina.

My bootcamp had driver issues so I would always get problems with the framerate tanking after being a stable (capped) 30 FPS and uncapped 50-60 like you, so I gave up trying to run it on my machine. A native build would fix these problems, so it's something that I'm looking forward to, but nothing I'm expecting of course.

Did you download drivers from nVidia. Before I install windows the first thing I do is download the latest bootcamp drivers from Apple and copy it to a usb. Then I install windows, then install the bootcamp drivers. Then I do the full series of windows updates until there are no more (takes like 4 hours). Then I install nVidia's graphic drivers. I've never had problems.
