benpark Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I just ran the new 1.20 demo, and started the British mission. Everything was running fine until I started moving the Challengers around. The game began to stutter severely at this point, and then I had a CTD. MacPro Intel 2008, Windows XP Pro, ATI 3870 512mb, whatever XP recognizes of my RAM from the Mac side (I believe 3gigs?). (crash info deleted by Battlefront because we have a copy of it now and it slows down loading this page something fierce ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I don't think we're officially supporting iMacs but I'll pass this on to Charles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 MacPro- the big tower. It's in bootcamp. I thought some of you guys were still using Macs to test and make the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Oh, we most definitely are still using Macs A couple of our testers are as well. None of us are having any problems and we have not seen a crash like that at all even on the Windows side of things. Are you using 10.5.x with all the current drivers and what not? If you're still using the "beta" version of BootCamp, I have no idea what CM:SF will do under it because that's very old by now. And it was kinda twitchy due to the drivers anyway.

benpark Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm all up to date on the Mac side of things. I have installed the latest ATI drivers, and I just had a repeat of the crash. It seemed to be the same thing, I had just moved a Challenger into firing position. It was targeting, and then the CTD. Any suggestions with maybe tweaking the drivers for the ATI card? Any testers using this same card? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have a sneaking suspicion that the testers with Macs all have laptops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'll try it on my laptop. I actually think the crash might be happening when the firing picks up. I just ran a test with the US forces in the demo, and had the stuttering happen. I ran my full copy of CMSF, and ran a test and no issues with many units unleashing all calibers at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 It seems to run fine on the MacBookPro, so I'll just have to fry my gonads while I play for now. I'd rather not, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If you've loaded the latest ATI/AMD drivers under BootCamp (do you get these from Apple or ATI/AMD ?), you may want to load up an older version. People have reported problems with drivers newer than the 9.3 Catalysts (v. 8.591 is the driver version for the 9.3 Catalysts). I assume that there are still issues even with the 9.7 Catalysts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 I had just done this after wading through the tech support threads, and had come here to post and you beat me to it. Thanks. Works fine with 9.3 drivers, but nothing after for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Cool... so it appears all is well and, once again, we have to send thoughts of love and happiness to our friends at ATI for breaking things? As an aside my MacBook Pro toasts my gonads. My G4, on the other hand, did the equivalent of flambé them I used to take an insert, inside my laptop case, and put it inbetween my lap and the laptop.

benpark Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 I hope it gives my fiancee and I the six headed baby we have always longed for when the day comes to procreate. I'm going NVidia after this, as I plan on keeping good ol' Battlefront product on my rig for decades to come. Thanks for making the good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
