Why does this game run better on a Mac through Wine than on a native windows 7?

Macs suck please throw your comp out a window

really....just stop.....

I dont like MACs myself, but that is because I dont need a computer for what they do best, and now it seems Macs are starting to venture into gaming as well. My complaints about MACs are honestly starting to dwindle (as the "cant upgrade" issue of years past) Now I-phones I-Pads I-pads...... I hate and would never use those overprices POSs

You dont like MACs fine, but others do for their own reasons, respect that and hush.

Apple makes something besides iPods and iPads? Someone alert the soccer moms.

I am not a very big mac fan, I have yet to use a mac that can beat the performance of my PC. case in point, macs are not the primary use for servers, PC's are. high end workstations are PC not mac. I buid and repair electronics and program/ 3d modeling as a game designer, I will stick with PC as I custom build my rigs.

Side note, my biggest issue with Macs are the GUI. there Ipad/Iphone are fun to play with but are very much overpriced. alot of people got brought up on macs because of appl'es donation to the school system a few years back.

I'll always say this time and again as a pc user. Both mac and pc have their strengths and weaknesses. So yes they're both good for their intended uses.

This thread isn't about Mac vs. PC (or maybe it is).

Anyways Aero sucks for performance, I know that now, thanks

I turned off Aero too, and noticed a huge leap in performance. It is wonderful. The only weird thing now is that my screen saver doesn't come on. Hmm?

Also, not to drag out this misplaced mac vs. pc battle, but I'm in school for graphic design and all my teachers are biased toward mac and the department uses primarily macs. I, however, use a pc at home and honestly have had no problems switching between the two. They both really do the same thing. My teachers still give me crap about it though ':/

Soooooooooooooooo much snake oil in this lolthread... XD

Boot Camp is not virtualization. It's not running Windows inside a Mac, it's partitioning the hard drive and installing it on it's own partition, and it provides a driver CD for the mac hardware... which let's discuss ... what is the mac hardware? A Intel Core i7 Processor, with DDR3 ram, and a AMD graphics card ....

Is Ubuntu virtualized because you install it on a second hard drive on your windows pc?

The point of the thread was that a Mac OS, emulating Windows XP, ran the game better than natively running it through Windows 7, and to discuss what that meant in terms of being able to optimize the game. Such as, coding better communication with DirectX (Square Enix side) or turning Aero off (End-User side).

They're not trolls, they're just bored flamer children

Nobody owns an iphone or an ipad or a mac, and hollywood doesn't almost exclusively use Macs for Final Cut Pro (5-7, not X) and broadcasting. Totally, cuz their products suck right? Or is it that you can't afford one so you need to came to vent your frustration?

It's posts like this that make me wish there was a "Dislike!" button.
