CrossOver Mac Help

Haggis

I'm currently running T2 on my MacBook Pro through BootCamp flawlessly with no problems and fps around 200. I've attempted a few times to run T2 through CrossOver and had very little success. I could join servers but once I got in game my fps dropped down to 10 which is unplayable. :-\

Any members here who have successfully run T2 through CrossOver have any tips to improve performance? I'm running T2 in Snow Leopard OS, latest version of CrossOver, RC1e patch and fresh installation of T2 with default settings.

I've also noticed when playing through CrossOver that there are lines (almost like grid lines) going through the terrain as if the graphics card is having some issues processing the terrains.

Any help would be much appreciated. Currently the only reason I have Windows XP installed is to run T2. Thanks!

Without knowing more about what settings you're using, or your system specifications, we can't really help you.

How's that for specs[/email]

Thyth

That's good. The only real specification I needed out of there was the video card, which I can see is an nVidia GeForce 9 series.

Could you include a copy of your game graphical settings? Specifically, whether the game is running in D3D or OpenGL mode.

Haggis

I'm running it in OpenGL and will include and can include a pic if you need it later.

Getting everything setup on Win7 via boot camp (iMac). If I have issues or solutions I'll post them here. I'll be in touch.

Thanks for the great support!
