Won't run on the MacMini, since it has Intel GMA 950 graphics.

[/ QUOTE ]

Most MacBooks, other than the ones from late 2007 and after, also use Intel GMA 950.

[/ QUOTE ]
The GMA 950 isn't officially supported by the Transgaming software. That doesn't mean it won't run, though - quite the opposite, in fact.

WINE already runs CoH better then CoH runs natively on the same hardware. Besides a quirk during installation and 2 other curious bugs, it runs pretty much flawlessly already. I'm just saying, if there is enough demand seen for a port OSX, which has a lower installed base then GNU/Linux, there should be enough budget to at least work with the WINE project and get a first class solution for GNU/Linux players of CoH as well.

The text chat thing (single escape won't clear out), the costume selection (can do /cc 0-4), the badly interlaced cursor, and randomly unable to /sync until you log out are the last few things I had to deal with.

Compiling the new one from src has been a pain, though that could be with SLES.

From what I understand, Mac uses a weird flavour of Linux anyhow.. so...?

Kinda going crazy...as a Mac user been wanting this since forever (and since Jack Emmert said he had no intention of ever doing it), but the site will not allow me to submit my application. I've taken out all the offending symbols, pared my system info the bare minimum, tried different browsers on my Macs and my husband's PCs...nada.

Help me...help me please...

Line breaks throw errors. In this case the Return/Enter key is not your friend.

I don't understand why you're making it even easier to travel to a mission. At least considering giving it a very long recharge timer.

[/ QUOTE ]

Um... you enjoy spending a lot of time traveling to missions?


*waits impatiently for the PC version of the power*

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't take very long to travel to missions. Killing all zone travel makes too many zones vacant which is not good.

Encountering other players is important and brings more socializing to the game.

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't use my time between missions looking for other players to socialize with. I use it for thinking "ugh, I have to go to where!?"

Funny thing is, the guy in that video is a Mac user. As is John Hodgman, who plays PC in the Apple "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" ads.

For future reference:

Someone informed me that putting line returns (the Enter key) into the "hardware" box will throw that error. So keep those out, and you'll be fine!

Awesome news. Of course since it's running through a compatibility layer, the performance under OS X won't be as good as the native Windows version, but if it'll run reasonably well I'll be happy, and it might finally give me a reason to delete my Boot Camp partition (well, if I can get Mids working in OS X, that is! ).

Hmm... looks like the GMA950 isn't officially supported. I'll be trying it anyways, because I know of some games that don't support the GMA950 that run fine on it anyways (I'm looking at you, C&C 3).

I've done big and bulky with what I think are good results before ^.^

Well then...

Suppose it's about time for me to get my reference screenshots in. I'll try to get those done today or tomorrow, as I have the time. Still trying to decide which hero to do, because my main is the "big and bulky" type.

Saying your character would be good practice is generally taboo around here. I feel some artists are a tad touchy on the request procedure but that matters not. Here is the Request Ettiquette thread.

Here is a big list of a lot of commissionable artists. You can find many styles and a broad range in price

I could care less if he mentioned me at all. I just wanted the Op pointed in the right direction. Thats all. People don't give a [censored] whether it has my name in it and neither do i.


Once again, great post Wolfe.

No issues with 8.10 here, beyond the usual. :/

[/ QUOTE ]
Is the issue with the enhancement screen and the mouse cursor (those of you have have to deal with this problem know exactly what I'm talking about) an issue that might be able to be fixed by the NCSoft team, or is it in ATI's ballpark? Kind of annoying, particularly when I am trying to respec a high-level character and have all those IO's to shuttle around.

Any word on the 8.10 drivers (October 15)? I'm installing them now so I'll see if anything breaks.

ASUS P5Q Pro motherboard
Core 2 Duo E7200, OC'd to 3.17GHz
4GB RAM
XP Pro SP3
Radeon HD4850

EDIT: No issues with the game but of note - fan speed settings were added to the Catalyst Control Panel. Now I don't have to rely on modified BIOSes or profile hacks to keep the card at a decent temperature.

I still need to get my reference screenshots in but am having some difficulty figuring out who I want art done of. >.<

You don't need a crapload of Controllers to do this TF right (but hey, the more the merrier). Ice Slick, Quicksand, and Earthquake work well for grounding the mobs as they spawn, ditto for Tar Patch.

IMHO, the best option for running PC games is to get a PC. I've gotten CoX to run on a Mac, but the end result has always been more trouble for lesser quality than running it on a PC. And when I say "Get a PC", I _don't_ mean "Get a Mac and run boot camp".

[/ QUOTE ]
Why not? Runs just fine on my GMA950 MacBook with XP SP2.

17 minutes for a trial - and you get a rare recipe like LOTG or Numinas ++ from it....
Yet many of you complain that the risk vs reward is not fair.. your right, the way "Speeden" Trial is run, you should only get an SO.

[/ QUOTE ]
Someone mentioned that the geometry bug has been fixed, I can't say from experience that it is since the last time I ran this trial it was still there, but what I really wanted to point out is that since this is a Trial it should give you the option of choosing a random recipe from Pool D (http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Recipe_Drop_Pools) which does include both a LotG and a Numina's, but they're the triples, not the procs.

I've heard that the drop pools are buggy, and drops don't always behave as they should, but according to my understanding Eden should never drop a Numina +Recovery/+Regen or a LotG +7.5% Recharge/Def.

If this is not the case, please point me to the details

[/ QUOTE ]
Eden drops from pool C, not pool D. This is to ensure that the respec trials (and Hamidon raids) have a pool to themselves.

Does Decimation: Chance for Buildup actually work? And if so, how do you know?

I have it in my Dominator's Psionic Dart, which gets used many times per fight. Over five hours of play (not lk'd/mal'd), I've seen no visual indication of anything happening. I kept the combat monitor open for tohit and damage, and saw not a single fluctuation in either value (aside from when I triggered Dom).

If anyone else has seen it work, what does it look like? Since I haven't seen anyone else mentioning this, I'm assuming it must work for most people ... could it be a specific problem with the AT or power?

[/ QUOTE ]
There's no visual indication. You'll have to monitor your healing delivered channel (I believe it's that channel, otherwise it's healing received) and watch for the text "Your attack strength has increased temporarily" or something similar. The build up only lasts for 5.25 seconds, and has only a 5% chance to fire, but AFAIK it's working properly.
