Anyone using Assassin's Creed 4 on 2012 MacBook Pro Retina?

I have a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro running 64-bit Windows 7 in Boot Camp. I've run a number of other graphics-heavy games such as FarCry 3 and Crysis 3 just fine on this machine.
Unfortunately Assassin's Creed 4 insists on running at a very low resolution --- what seems to be 640x480. I first tried with the default Bootcamp drivers --- 306.37; then I upgraded to Nvidia's latest --- 331.82 and 331.93, and the same results in both cases. The graphics options panel lets me choose higher resolutions, all the way up to 2880x1800, but the game is still at that awful low resolution.
Anyone have more luck with this set up?

I had this problem too - it's some wackiness particular to the Assassin's Creed games on Bootcamp.
You need to go into control panel and font size (I think it might be in Display). There should be an option to set the fonts at 150%, 200% etc. Set it at 100%. You should have to log out for it to take effect.
You'll probably go blind trying to read anything with the fonts set so small, but the game should now run at 1080p.

  • 2012 macbook pro retina display artifacts on screen when using onboard video

    2012 Macbook Pro Retina Display artifacts on screen when using onboard video.
    About a month ago I've noticed these strange artifacts (blocky pixelated looking) running vertically down the screen. It first started when using Safari. Then it started to happen all the time. I turned off the auto switch video in preferences, which I'm assuming forces the computer to use the separate video card and the artifacts go away.
    On top of that issue I also have had the ghosting issue.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    artifacts onscreen could mean a faulty gpu. You said by forcing it on inbuilt gpu you do not find this issue highlights that. Do take it in to apple for service and also tell them of your ghosting issue.
    There are a few retina owners who have faulty gpus.

  • 2012 Macbook Pro Retina High Temperatures

    I recently started noticing my 2012 Macbook Pro Retina was feeling warm to the touch on my legs. I installed temperature gauge and was startled by the temperatures I saw.
    Idling the CPU is around 40-45 C but spikes easily to 70-80 with any activity. As an example when Intellij compiles my java code my CPU will jump to 80C
    The SSD temperatures is constantly at 65C.
    I tried reseting the NVRAM with the instructions from Apple website. It didn't make any differences.
    What is even more concerning is the fan speed does not change! It stays right around 2000 RPM no matter what the temperature is.
    Has anyone else had similar experiences with their 2012 Retina? I recently had it at the Apple Store for repair to replace my screen, ghosting issues.

    Hi there,
    You may find the information in the article below helpful.
    Mac notebooks: Operating temperature
    Mac notebooks comply with temperature limits set in national and international safety standards when used in accordance with the instructions in the user guide.
    While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

  • Freed memory not available 2012 MacBook Pro Retina

    I have a 500 GB flash storage drive on my 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. In a bid to run things faster for my music production, I've moved my large ITunes library onto an external hard drive. I backed everything up and trashed the iTunes folder after the external was all working, repaired disk permissions and restarted but my freed memory is still not showing. Anyone have any advice? Thanks!

    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  See if this will assist you ion detecting the problem.

  • 2012 macbook pro retina display

    i am looking to buy a 2012 macbook pro retina display 13.3" core i5, 8gb ram and 126gb ssd however,  have heard that the 2012 macbook retina display models have problems with them, like screen issues, over heating issues, wifi connection issues etc. can anybody cnonfirm these problems are quite common? and if so are there any solutions ot them

    Hi alex,
    Mostly what we see here are posts from people with problem MBPs, so it seems like a lot, when in reality, it's usually only a small percentage of all those units sold. That said, it does seem like the r models have more than their share of issues, but if it was a majority of them, it would be the first time.
    If you get it new, there's a 14 day return policy, 90 days of phone support, and a one year warranty.

  • How to use my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro

    I can not get the inline microphone to work on my earpods with my 2012 macbook pro.  It will not reconize it.  Help please!

    I have an A1286(Early 2011) MBP with OS X 10.8.2. Using my headphone jack with earpods has been sporadic. Sometimes I get the mic, sometimes I don't. I just now took a paper clip and worked it around inside the jack. I plugged my headphones back in appears to be working. Could be something inside the jack is bent and not making contact with the mic part of the plug.
    Your mileage may vary. I assume no liability if you damage something.
    Tried it again and it doesn't seem to be working anymore. For my MBP I think it is a hardware issue. Either dust or something is getting in between the contacts and the plug or the contacts are just not touching the plug. I'm gonna take a crack at dismantling my MBP and see if it's something simple like bending the contacts so they touch the headphone plug.

  • My screen has marks made by the keyboard when closed. Possible design flaw (mid 2012 macbook pro retina)

    My screen has marks made by the keyboard when closed. I think is because possible desing flaw. Is a macbook pro retina mid 2012. Maybe the secreen is very close to the keyboard when close. It is a soft mark, but I´m sure it´s because the keyborad because is the same shape.
    Thank you

    Whether they replace just the screen, a subassembly, the whole top half of the computer, or the entire computer is entirely up to them, as is whether they replace with new or refurbished parts.
    I would make sure I had at least one full backup of everything on my computer before taking it in. Two would be even better. Even if they don't replace the entire computer, something could happen during installation and testing of new parts.
    Back when people really cared about the manufacturer of their screen (in the beginning of the Retina models, when one manufacturer had a bad run of screens), instructions for using Terminal commands to determine which you had circulated. I didn't bother to keep a copy of the one I used. A web search for "retina screen manufacturer" (without the quotes) should reveal as top hits several sites with very similar instructions.

  • Using Intel graphics in Windows on Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 ?

    I own a Macbook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 with Nvidia GT750M graphics.
    On Windows, the power consumption and heat production is noticeable higher than on OSX.
    People said this is due the Nvidia GT750M being constantly used, because there is officially no way to switch to the more power saving Intel Graphics on Windows.
    I have found a extremely tricky way to switch the graphics, but unfortunately I have no idea how I do this:

  • Why does my mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina latptop shut down during software installation/updates?

    Whenever I attempt to update preexisting software apps or install new ones, my mid 2012 MacBook Pro w/ Retina display will shut down and reboot itself. Obviously this has gotten frustrating as several of my existing apps are woefully out of date.
    Any suggestions would be most helpful.

    Thanks for the assistance and sorry for the late reply, I'm overseas doing HA work and don't always have internet access.
    I tried utilizing the methods you mentioned and upon doing so I received the following message:
    So I followed this set of instructions and when verifying and repairing disk permissions the window stated that the partition was okay.
    After logging back in, I attempted to download a software update, sadly the system shut itself down and rebooted and I am still unable to install any updates for my out of date apps. I won't return to the States until June, I may have to wait until then to resolve this issue.
    Thank you again for your assistance.

  • Yosemite System crash mid 2012 Macbook pro retina

    After approx. 6 hours of use the sound is choppy , Blocking stays..you can move the mouse and keyboard sometimes answers but I can not touch anything in OSx and I have no one to turn it off .
    Prior to Mavericks had never happened to me and I'm pretty worried.

    and took about 15 days and yesterday I decided to install it from 0 and I just happened.
    You know that it may be due ?

  • Audio quality from mid 2012 macbook pro retina

    I am trying to clarify what would be the best quality audio I can get from a Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012 (2.3 Ghz). Is the 3.5 mm jack capable of digital output (what spec) otherwise the HDMI digital audio must be a go. What spec does that offer please, and is it possible to input that into an external DAC somehow.

  • Why does power nap time machine backup not work on my August 2012 macbook pro retina?

    Hello. I got a MacBook Pro with retina display in August of this year 2012. I have done the SMC ? firmware update and I have 10.8.2 installed on my machine. Power nap still doesn't seem to work. I have the button in energy saver preferences and I have clicked it so it looks like power nap should work. When I am running Time Machine backup with the time capsule and I close the lid (plugged into power) it appears that no progress is made when I reopen the lid. I have closed the lid with activity monitor running and with network displayed. When I reopen the lid it may take up to one minutes to come out of sleep. When it does come out  of sleep I can see that there has been no network traffic.  Eventually, time machine backup resumes and I can see several megabytes per second. When I closed the lid overnight, just to make sure backup didn't restart after lid closing, I saw that no progress had been made in backup when I reopened the lid.
    What options are left if I already have 10.8.2 and I have done the required firmware?  One person has mentioned a clean install but I really don't like to have to reenter all the different passwords and all the different preferences again unless that's absolutely necessary. Are there any other options left to try before a clean install?
    One other bit of information.  I have filevault turned on; however, it looks like others have a working power nap even with file vault enabled.  If this is not an option, the power nap button should be grayed out when the machine is in filevault.
    Thank you for any help.

    Yeah I still have the same problem BTW; it still does not work.
    The second I open the lid and take it out of sleep mode, it starts to backup automagically, but when it's sleeping EVEN when it's connected to AC power, TM backups do NOT work to my OS X Server. 
    I don't understand what the problem is here.
    I didn't before but I do have FileVault turned on now -- should that make a difference?
    In either situation it didn't work, but now that I think about it, I could understand why it wouldn't backup while asleep.  Apparently the encrypted volume will stay encrypted during sleep and even at the lock screen; it's not until you open the lid and log in from the lock screen that it will unlock the encrypted boot volume.
    But even still, I did *not* have FV turned on before, and this still did not work.
    Is there some third party solution that can do what I want this to do?
    Here's my use case:
    1.) I have a mac mini at home that I use when I'm at home; it runs OS X server.app (bought and paid for) and has TM server turned on.
    2.) I have a laptop that I mainly use at work and I don't use at all when I come home (ie. when I'm ready to head home for the day I close the lid and don't open it until I'm back at work the next day, but the laptop does come home with me every day).
    What I want to have happen is this:
    1.) The minute my laptop enters my home wifi lan (even though it's still asleep with lid closed) I want it to automatically backup the boot drive.
    I thought that's what Power Nap was supposed to do, but then I found out that in order for this to work, you have to be connected to AC power; so then I tried that -- ie. every day I come home, I put my laptop in a docking station that has AC power, but TM backups while lid closed / sleeping STILL do not occur!
    Thanks for your help everyone...Looking forward to a solution that works.
    EDIT:
    I found this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4158709
    "It looks like Power Nap doesn't perform Time Capsule backups when the MacBook Air screen is closed."
    So apparently that is yet *another* requirement to get powernap working.  The lid can not be closed. 
    What is the difference between sleep with lid open and sleep with lid closed!?
