So hows that mac port going?

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.

The 2.6 GHz model with 16 GB of RAM.

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.

One of the reasons for this is that the game is not optimized to work with the Mac OS X. Bad optimization, or no optimization at all, can turn any game into a nightmare to run, no matter what your machine (HI GUILD WARS 2!!!). You should see significant gains when an actual OS X version is released and properly optimized.

*Flips out of his chair*
We're running the game through bootcamp (although this probably isn't the proper lingo. bootcamp just partitions the drive). Only Windows is loaded. We're not using Parallels or anything to run Windows from within OS X. My problem was that the fans were not kicking in on windows. The heat wasn't dispelled properly and so the CPU/GPU (not sure which) would be throttled. I've since downloaded a 3rd party fan controller and the game works fine now. This might be LeonBlade's problem. Do you remember hearing the fans kicking in?
