I have a Macbook pro retina. According to the de Appstore description the requeriments are 1440x900 medium settings for this machine. I have been testing 848x480 (low settings) always run below 30 fps. What the hell are those requeriments you are giving??? This game can´t run in Macos in this machine, the minimun requeriments should at least to run the game to 30fps, but even the lowest resolution you can´t do it!!!!

In windows, this game to 1280x720 and high settings I get around 45-60fps, this game should be removed from mac appstore, steam and gog or update to real requeriments, I think this version is a fraud for mac users

Drivers? no way, 650m card performe better in Mac than in Windows with any OpenGL app.

In FAQ you can find info that there is problem with 650M that nVidia is trying to resolve (they were helping CDPR to optimize game for their cards) and up until then it will perform poorly on 650M.

Come on, I don't believe it!

First: I can´t find FAQ for Mac version
Second: OpenGL run better in Mac than windows in this machine!, if there are problems with drivers, OpenGL would run better in Bootcamps.
Thirst: nVIdia drivers? http://steamcommunit...49037806757751/

Those are excuses, this game run poorly in Mac. Besides if there are problems with this card, why 650m is a recommended card for that resolution?

See you

If you don't believe what is offered to you, then what do you expect from this thread?

They aren't excuses. If you read the thread you provided thoroughly, you will see that most if not all of the cases posted there, were caused by problems like unsupported GPU, below min-spec GPU or even wrong version of MacOS - and by the way, the solutions were explained by a CDPR employee, so they DO care and they're trying to help whenever they can, even in the inofficial Steam forums.

righ-hand side, right below the MAC system requirements.

You can't generalize these problems like "OpenGL runs better on Mac than on Windows, so this has to run smoothly". There can be very specific problems, and often new driver versions provide changes that vastly improve the performance only in specific games. And drivers for different OS are different as well, and may have different issues. There's no way to make a general statement and no way to tell what causes the problem until CDPR and NVidia figure it out - which they're trying, obviously.

I play on my "mac." You just need decent specs. The game will run on par with windows, the problem is that many Macs cannot handle the intensive nature of this game.

Sure

Same machine, using FRAPS in windows, OpenGL profiler in Mac:

Bootcamp: 1280x720 Ultra details (Ubersampling off) = 40-60 fps
Mac: 848x480 Low details = 15-30 fps

Bootcamp: 1980x1020 Low details = 30-50 fps
Mac: 1280x720 Low details = 10-20

Bootcamp: 1980x1020 High Details = 10-20 fps

Par with windows? are you kidding?

650m of Macbook pro retina have twice of power than desktop 8800 gtx (minimun requeriments for 1280x720)

Besides:

In windows the game use full all cores and threads (4 cores 8 threads), Macos the game use 1 core 1 thread. I´m sure you are getting lower performance than windows, but you have the strongest solo card.

I play on my hackintosh. Macs are terrible in terms of hardware. To me and my 680, there is no difference. At all. This is from MY experience.

Are you sure you are reading to me? This game in Windows on same machine: 1280x720 high profile = 40-60 fps. Mac version 1280x720 low profile = 15-20fps. I can to play on windows even to 1080p and low profile to 30-40 fps. MBPr can to play the most window´s games to 1080p high settings.

Anyway, 10.8.3, new nvidia drivers and same performance. Conclusion this port SUCKS. Even using wine I can get better performance.
