Boot Camp Users

[Wayfarer Sam]

Are there any bootcamp users out there who have installed the game yet?

 

[Tom]

Yep

Runs fine on iMac 2.4GHz - bit dodgy and I keep managing to bluescreen the game but other than that it is fine.

Interesting, I suppose that was the answer I was hoping to hear. Now i just need to work out why I am getting this bloody "Send error report" thing when I try to launch it. Any ideas?

 

[Tom]

Well I can normally play the game for about 20 minutes before bluescreening - MSTS never blue screens ...

And before anyone says it - a Mac when running Windows is essentially a PC, just better

I think that happens when the graphics card/driver is not up to scratch.

Do you have a MacBook or an iMac?

I have a MacBook and it doesn't work.

Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro Core Duo with Bootcamp and Windows XP on a partition and it runs without any problems at all, so it must be possible. Not had the blue screen of death yet (touch wood).

Kind Regards

Yup, thats because the MacBook Pro's have a decent graphics card... (Nvidia)... my MacBook only has an Intel Chipset.

 

[Tom]

Intel GMA 950 to be precise.

I got KRS running fine on my MacBook C2D 2.0GHz - however I uninstalled it as I think it's cr*p at the moment and is a waste of space until the dev tools come out.

Interesting

I will compare by built in graphics with my dedicated graphics desktop.

i have not got it working yet i own an imac 24" with the new leopard system. MSTS work brill but rail sim just wont work keep coming up with error every time i try to load the game :@:@ can someone help me?

 

[Tom]

What error is coming up - and which 24" model is it?

EDIT: Those with an Aluminium iMac with the AMD 2600 Pro should be careful as there are freezing issues following the 1.1 driver update.

[Wayfarer Sam]

Thats what i am getting. I have resorted to using a ...... pc:cry:

 

[Tom]

I would suggest posting on the RS forum and that if they moan about using a Mac - just point out that it's running entirely natively and it's essentially just a PC that happens to have Mac OS X on there additionally.

Turn that frown upside down PCs are better. This being another example why

I do like how you say Linux is better than Windows - when it's UNIX based, which Leopard happens to be fully certified with!
