TM2 om mac

Post by Zippoth »

I have Windows 7 Home Premium installed on VMware. I have a iMac 21,5" 3,2GHz intel Core i3 and 12GB RAM.
Bought and downloaded the game online, but after installing, when I try to run the game, I get this message:
"Your video card performance has not been found. A quick bench will be performed." I press OK, then: "Could not retrieve your graphic device performance. Automatic graphic may be inadequate." OK.
I have tried with all kinds of low-res-settings, but nothing works. I get a black screen when I try to start the game, then it exits. Please help... :shock:

TM2 is not working on VMWare Fusion, but it runs on Paralles 7.

Installing Wine (free, open-source and cross-platform) could also be an option if you want to run the game alongside your OS X windows, but you might find it tricky to install. If you prefer something more user-friendly and less command-line based, there's CrossOver (but it's commercially-developed)

From my experience the performance has been worse generally than being ran natively via Boot Camp. It's worth a try though if you like to regularly use Mac OS X :)
