Mac client needs to be reborn..? :(

What is impressive is that PS4 IS OpenGL (and supposedly unix based also)... A port would be much easier to make.

It seems like some good middleware salesman conned SE.

True, but there's also the PlayStation Shader Language API which is a Sony thing. It makes it better to access the PS4's hardware which pure OpenGL can't. The API opens options to implement middleware which would open the question what is really happening within a PS4. Any Orbis OS pros here?

I really wish I had seen this thread before wasting my money... Totally unplayable on my Macbook Pro and MacPro... back to bootcamp I go where the game runs great.

Wow some people are horribly selfish here. If it's not their problem who cares, even rub it in and don't waste any more of their time on lower class Mac users. Get off your high horse.
I don't have the Mac version but I feel for you guys. No matter what, they shouldn't have released a product that crappy to begin with, it isn't up to quality. Didn't they learn from 1.0? Guess not.

I got a buddy who I was waiting to recommend the Mac version to play because he uses exclusively Mac for college. I'm definetly gonna tell him to stay away from this version.
I mean seriously, not only should that not have passed the quality test to even be released, to charge full price for it?! Dispicable

Ps. For a company that seemingly brags about the good communication with their fan base and having very little communication from what I see. Getting a response about this is nothing more then what they say they do all the time and fail to deliver half the time. It's the least they could do and even still, I'm sure it's only to try to calm the rage directed at them.

While this is nothing more than peeing in the wind, but through your purchase of Heavensward and you continued payment of subscriptions, you did pay for the OS X client, and if Square decides to make a native client, you will pay as well. Did you ever consider asking yourself why, if OSX is such a niche, Square would invest in an OSX port? They have a considerable catalog of games, and yet outside of FFXIV, only Deus Ex: Human Revelation is on the Mac. It doesn't seem to make sense, does it? Take a look at this page:

This is one of those times where you need to realize your opinions are not based on accurate information.

Yes and this is exactly why im saying it. I don't want to see my paid money invested in something thats no use to me. You are a Minority. MAC is not designed for Games but for other Stuff. Deal with it and don't whine and bitch so long until Developers give you your candy on the cost of others.

The Money that would flow into a native Client could be used for Server Stability and new Content. Something I and everyone who doesn't uses a subpar OS, which is designed for WORK not GAMES, would profit from oh and you would profit from it too kinda. Why should the mass suffer because of a minority?

Your link is completely outside of the Discussion. Yes Mac is growing so what? It will be mostly used for Work but not to playing Games. If you buy a whole OS designed for work to play Games then i...i just don't know to handle you without using bad Words. I don't want to be Toxic you know...


After rereading i see that im saying the same over and over...darn it.
