Well after running EVE on my windoze box I gave Crossfire a try on my macbook pro.
It works great ! The dev's have released a simple beta patch for the sound, now I am getting 30-75fps playing eve via my mac with crossfire (and running eve-radio in the background with QT)
I still wine (hehe) for a native OSX client for eve, as it will keep my nice shiny mac free of that "other evil" OS

30-75fps on a notebook sounds really good! This is not possible on my dell... Which graphics resolution do you use for eve??

Edited by: Pria Starle on 24/07/2007 02:02:57 Edited by: Pria Starle on 24/07/2007 02:02:42 While I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro from a PowerBook and can now run EVE via Boot Camp, I still think a 'native' version of EVE for OS X would be great, even it it's just wrapped in a compatibility layer. In fact, one of the biggest reasons I choose to play World of Warcraft instead of EVE was that Blizzard has such great Mac support. Macs users are a growing proportion of computer users, and while a majority of gamers still will remain PC-loyal, the (fairly) new Intel x86 architecture should make porting EVE that much easier, and I'm sure the extra subscriptions would be well worth the effort of a port. Finally, EVE just feels like a Mac game, in terms of look and overall aesthetic.

Uhm.... I might be uber moron....
but why encode an osx client when leopard is almost upon us?
wont we just get a 7 page whine again for CCP to make a leopard client? or would the OSX one be extremely easy to upgrade? ----------------------------------------------- "post with your main. delete your alt, you sad little exploiting metagamer." |

A heads-up, the nVidia graphics chips are the only supported ones as ATI's and Intel's OpenGL support is lacking! So, you pretty much have to buy the top end model of each Mac variant.
I'd a lot happier buying a Mac if I could buy just the motherboard/OS really. And maybe a case. But to be realistic, Apple could atleast have a base config and do the Dell trick of offering improved specs for each main device. Including the option to change at a later date.

actually, that only applies to linux. with cider and osx, ati cards work well. intels onboard graphics works some of the time and is kinda slow and crappy, but thats the nature of that technology.

Cider won't help at all over Cedega/Wine. However, the Mac version of the OpenGL may be better, dunno, but why would the Linux version be worse given they are both OpenGL on the same hardware? Makes sense for ATI to be using the same libs for both platforms.

well the linux and osx drivers for the ati (or nvidia for that matter) cards arent the same since macs still use a different rom. if im remembering correctly, its at the driver level that there are problems, rather than at the graphics lib level. since eve doesnt use opengl, the dx calls get translated by cider/cedega/wine and some of them must not be supported by the drivers provided by ati for linux, regardless of opengl. its very hard to get any real info on cider but thats what ive been able to gather from what ive found.

Bah. Looks like I missed it as well. Suppose that's what I get for not looking at the forums for a while.

the latest i have seen http://www.transgaming.com/news/?id=60
So for those of us who are thinking of buying a mac: would you all suggest it for playing eve? bootcamp, parallels, crossover, etc, which of these work the best for the new imacs? thx

As of my latest test, EVE doesn't work on Parallels or Fusion. It works fine under a partition with Windows installed, however.

I play EVE on a 17" MBP, ie I dual-boot into windows. Its a pain to boot into windows just to play EVE so I cant wait for the Mac client, even if it is a cider port. I've read reviews for other cider games and they run very very well, except on the intel graphics macbooks.
here is a link to a game review of a game ported with Cider http://insidemacgames.com/reviews/view.php?ID=861
If there is a beta for Mac eve client sign me up, but it appears as if i have missed it. fooey

I has the MAC CLIENT.
I will also check with Transgaming, but from what I understand Apple modifies the ATI drivers for it's Machines so that they do not have the issues that the Linux ones from ATI have. But I will confirm this.

That's great! Could I join the testing? Mac Mini 1.83Ghz Core Duo. EVE works on Crossover for me, with sound too (till 2 patches ago).
Thx.
