MAFIA 4 RUMORS MAC OS X
One quick thing: Is Arkham City coming to Mac OS X anytime in future? I love Feral (again aside from this whole Mafia 2 thing) and don't want to seem like a hater Batman: Arkham Aslyum ran amazing (well no better than on windows) on Mac OS X and I loved the game. How do you convert games to Mac? This is pure interest i'd never have the ability to do what you do to your standard (aside from whatever issues im having with Mafia 2). Plus being a beginner developer, i'm all the more curious. How much optimization did you do for Mafia 2? Did you convert it to OpenGL? Did you just use Wine or something slightly better? I'm not trying to be a dick, im genuinely interested about how this whole thing works because I pretty much hate Direct X and the how monolpoly Microsoft has over something that's not really any better and want more mac games. I've played a bunch of Feral games and the differences between Mac and Windows have been next to nothing. Probably about 1/4 fps but I have no tests for that. The game runs fine on Windows 7 (30fps-ish) and on Mac OS X it's completely un-playable. Why is that on my 9400m, 8GB ram, 2GHZ Core 2 Duo early 2009 Mac Mini.
MAFIA 4 RUMORS UPDATE
I have no clue by how much but once it is complete it will try and remember to update the thread. The patch (when it arrives) will improve performance on all machines including machines like yours with an HD3000 card. Mafia 2 at 800x500 looks OK on a smaller screen but at this resolution you will have a few jaggies. That figure is based on everything off and playing at 800x500 which is the lowest resolution, the performance patch should improve matters a fair bit but your card was never designed for games so you won't ever get max settings.
That should give you a general frame rate while playing of 20 to 30 fps as the performance test is usually a little more complex than the game. The high loading performance test built into Mafia 2 (in the Extras menu) gives an average of 20.5 fps on a similar Mac to yours, I used a Mac mini which is a little slower. The 8GB of RAM will help a lot with this game especially as you have a shared RAM card so that 8GB has to cover your OS and your graphics card. It will play the game (fully supported) but you will have to have all the shiny effects turned down low. Your graphics card is the main issue with your Mac when it comes to games as it is a shared RAM card meaning it has to use the slower system RAM instead of dedicated graphics RAM.
