Fetchez la Vache Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Has anyone been able to get Parallels 3 on their Intel Mac to run CMSF? I'm not much cop at tweaking Parallels myself, hence the question. I got very excited when CMSF loaded without crashing (first game ever for me on Parallels) but unfortunately the graphics fall apart when the game has loaded to the battle screen itself. I see the background detail and the buildings, but nowt else. Boot Camp works fine though. Boo hoo no native Mac version though. :'( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oberst Greup Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Does any 3D games run under Parallels at all? I doubt it. Regarding Boot camp: Care to tell us what mac you are using? I get lots of different kinds of errors (graphics, sound + app hangs) under Boot camp on a Macbook Pro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetchez la Vache Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Mac Pro user, see below for specs. My wife won't allow Windows on the MacBook Pro. Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro1,1 Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 2 Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 5 GB Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz Parallels v3.x has limited 3D support (up to DirectX 8) and they've hyped it that you can now play 3D games on it. Which is a load of tosh. Fortunately I ordered my Parallels after May 1st so I got the v3 upgraded free - I would be right annoyed if I had shelled out for it independently! edit: And a X1900 video card, maybe that does the trick? Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1900 VRAM (Total): 512 MB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
