Wicky Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks Jeff and Steve for testing and feedback Originally posted by jeffsmith: I went back and found my e-mails from CodeWeavers regarding CMAK & Crossover here are the two replies POST FROM: Ken Thomases BODY: Wow, that was strange. I downloaded and installed the (CMAK) demo. When I run it, it switches to each and every full-screen mode available with my video card and monitor. After that, it puts up a dialog saying it couldn't initialize Direct3D. Maybe Stefan will know what's going on here. POST FROM: Stefan Dösinger BODY: I didn't try running that game yet, but usually such failures happen when some high level dlls are missing(d3dx9_xx most likely) or d3d calls fail unexpectadely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Please, please, please ask Charles to make sure CM:SF works on a Mac somehow, if it could be designed so it would run on Crossover, that would be spectacular. (OK, ok I guess the Mac users here will have to admit that they will need a newer Intel Mac to play this game no matter what.)

karch Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 My first choice for non Windows users would be Crossovers, as you don't need Windows. There was a post over at ArsTechnica from MacWorld that the next Parallels beta in a couple months will be supporting 3d hardware acceleration, so you wouldn't need to reboot to play if you had enough RAM to feed both OSs. Parallels Interview I currently expect to be working 90% of the time in Windows, but if I could get Outlook, Word and FileMaker Pro 8.5 working in Crossover, I might switch to mainly running in OSX. I'm really excited with the way the whole Intel switch has gone for Apple. Our company is a FileMaker solution provider and we will be standardizing on MacBooks from now on so we can develop and test for both platforms. For the casual user that needs one or 2 Windows only programs, maybe Crossovers will be able to allow them to use a Mac as well.
