Diablo 3 /w Macbook Pro 2.2

This isn't another "will it work" thread.

i was cursing through D3 perfectly fine up until tonight.
all of the sudden i hit an FPS lag mid through act 1 nightmare mode.
was random.

I have turned the intel graphics off.

Not to sound alarmist, but rather, cautious. Be sure that those who respond to this thread have your computer configuration before you take their experiences to heart. I cannot comment specifically regarding your machine since I do not have a mac with your configuration.
A bad sign is that the actual configurations are starting to mean something as opposed to Macs of yore when it wasn't much of an issue which model mac one owned because the software "just worked."

Can i play Diablo III in a macbook pro 13 pol.: 2,9 GHz ?

I want to buy a new macbook pro 13 pol.: 2,9 GHz
I can play Diablo III in full definition with this macbook pro??
Intel Core i7 dual core, 2,9GHz
Turbo Boost até 3,6GHz
8GB e 1600MHz

Intel HD 4000
Thank you!

the intel hd 4000 graphics card will not be able to run it on max.
This graph stats a Radeon HD 6670 DDr3 is need to get ~50fps which is good on the game.
The Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 is about double the power of the HD intel 4000 according to this graph.

Macbook Pro 2012 overheats with Diablo 3

I just bought the new 2.6GHz 8GB RAM Macbook pro (non-retina) last week, and the machine overheats horribly when I try to play diablo 3 (even on the lowest settings). It runs fine for a couple minutes, then the aluminum becomes so hot that I cannot even hold my hand on it for 30 seconds. Also, the game begins to lag terribly. This overheating problem occurs during some regular internet use also and slows it down to the point where it's impossible to watch YouTube. I know it isn't my wifi connection since I run the same things on my iMac in the same room (not at the same time). Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance!

My new 15" MBP (Same specs are yours) runs Diable 3 fine. Everything is turned up and it's very fluid. I rest my MBP on a cooling pad to help with the cooling. Mine does get hot, but I have played it for several hours with no lagging/stuttering (Caused by excessive heat).
Your MBP will run Diablo just fine (And WoW for that matter. I have everything set to Ultra and I push ~35FPS in SW.)
Instead of troubleshooting it, I would make an appointment with the Genius Bar, or if you don't have an Apple store close by, give them a call. There is something wrong with your MBP.
Hope you get your MBP fixed quickly

A 13-inch MacBook Pro doesn't meet minimum requirements for it > https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/diablo-iii-system-requirements
The GPU of the 13-inch MacBook Pro isn't designed to use games, so they won't work properly unless you choose low graphic settings. If you want to play games, go for the 15-inch MacBook Pro

Can my MacBook Pro run Diablo III?

I have a brand new 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 Processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4GB of RAM and 500GB hard drive.
As a very technologically challenged person I was wondering if it would run Diablo III?
Thanks in advance!

The 15" wouldn't have weighted that much more and lasted longer with OS X upgrades because of the dedicated graphics card.
For instance 10.8 will only run on certain older Mac's, those with good graphics.
If you want to make that 13" last longer, use a external USB keyboard and mouse, avoid the built in keyboard and trackpad as much as possible.
Also keep it covered and don't wear jewelry as it can scratch the case, body chemicals mar the surface.
Don't use the Superdrive as a DVD movie playback machine, use it sparingly.
Backup your data and don't move the computer while it's in operation as the hard drive is fragile.

MacBook Pro getting extremely hot playing Diablo 3

Hello, is it normal my Mac (mid 2014), i5 + 8 gigs of ram to become EXTREMELY hot when playing Diablo 3 ? It literally blows extremely hot air from the little holes that are near by the folding mechanism. I mean 1)I guess that is not good for the Mac 2) it is very bad for the part of the display that gets the hot air. So is there anything I can do to stop this ?

Ah, well I'm away from home at the moment so no DVD.
However, it is the UK trading standards act that tells me that any product is supposed to last without fault a reasonable time, based on the amount you paid for. So a £10 toaster isn't exactly good for 3 years, but a £1,000 Macbook Pro would be expected to last more than a year.
At the moment, the way this is going, I'm seriously damaging my CPU lifespan, it's constantly at 70c, the fan is constantly spinning, and the battery is constantly draining. I had 1 tab open on Firefox 4, it was a forum, with no ads, no flash, just text and basic pictures and my CPU is 70C.
So I think something is wrong with my Macbook.
I'm going to ring up Trading standards, get them to advise me what to do, then ring up Apple and tell them from the get go that I know my rights as a UK customer and that I expect a repair, replacement (of equal or greater value) or a refund. Either would be good.

Why does my mid-2010 Macbook Pro suffer from huge FPS drops whenever I try to play games?

Macbook info: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, nVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB
When I play games on my Macbook Pro, such as League of Legends, Diablo III, World of Warcraft, etc., they operate well with latency of ~80ms usually and fps starting off between 30-60, but after only a couple seconds or minutes my fps drops to 5-15 and the games become unplayable and I must force quit the program. Restarting the computer helps temporarily but then it relapses.
I cleaned out all my downloads, applications, and other deletable files that I could find. I installed and updated Mavericks OS X and the issue persists. Before I installed Mavericks I noticed in Activity Monitor that almost all of my memory was in use while playing a game. After Mavericks the memory is almost all permanently in use, but from what I've read this is what is supposed to happen and instead of looking at memory in use you look at memory pressure, which looks normal.
I was going to upgrade from 4GB RAM (current) to 8GB RAM and see if that helps but idk if that has anything to do with my fps issue or not. Any thoughts?

Alright well I'm definitely not running virus scans or doing system backups and then complaining about slow performance.... The only other application running besides whatever game i'm playing is SMC fancontrol to make sure my computer isn't overheating.
In terms of CPU%, games like WoW and LoL take ~50-60% of CPU while active, but activity monitor still reports ~80% idle. For disk activity, i'm not sure whether it uses optical or not, I assume i just uses the hard drive, which is brand new cus it broke down about a month ago and I had to replace it (the fans are brand new as well, so I don't think it could be build up of dust or anything inside because it was opened and cleaned so recently).
I can set all graphics setting to lowest possible and improve my fps to 20, which is still awful, and enabling vertical sync just sends it back down to 15 fps. I don't see why I should have to use lowest graphics settings anyway. It can't be out of date drivers since i have 10.9.1 running. Could the graphics card be the issue? That would suck since I can replace and upgrade RAM but not the graphics card.
I have repaired disk and disk permissions multiple times, virus scans, the whole gambit and nothing seems to help.

Want to buy a MacBook Pro - looking for tips, got questions

Dear reader,
I bought a 27" iMac in april 2010 (the late 2009 model) with 8gb of memory, an i7 2,7 GHz quad-core and the Ati Radeon HD 4850 512MB. I really like Apple and Mac but the iMac is not my best gamble. I have alot of eye strain because I have a small desk, and I notice I'm still not at the desired speed level.
*Please note:* I talk alot and I have many questions. If you want to answer 1 or 2 questions and save time, please add the question number and answer that specific question. Thanks!
*This is what I will be using the MacBook Pro for:*
- Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator. I am a webdesigner/graphic designer (for hobby, still studying) - see wwww.openmindedmedia.nl
- Everything for personal use. I am selling my iMac so I will use this machine for music, watching dvds by connecting it to a tv screen, playing games eventually (Diablo 3), surfing the web
- Word, Excel, etc.
- Sitting outside in the sun (photoshop/illustrator/indesign etc)
- I want to hook it to 2 external LED monitors, both 22-24 inch.
I value speed and quick responses alot. My current iMac is still lacking this.
*This is the setup I had in mind:*
- MacBook Pro 15" 2,2 GHz quad-core i7 with the AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5, 4GB memory
- 256 GB SSD
That's € 2575 already, with student discount..
*My questions to you:*
Q1. I multitask alot. At most moments I have mail, firefox, skype, photoshop, path finder, itunes activated at the same time. Is it worth considering the upgrade from 4GB to 8GB? (extra € 185)
Q2. Is it possible to hook the laptop to 2 external monitors? There is only 1 thunderbolt connection for 2 monitors.
Q3. Will this actually be better than my iMac in overall performance? It has a slower processor (from 2,7 GHz to 2,2 GHz), less RAM (from 8GB to 4GB). And I really don't understand how a video card as small as a post card can be as effective as the sandwich-sized videocard in my iMac right now.
Q4 I don't understand this aboult ThunderBolt. If I have an external HDD with ThunderBolt connectivity attached to my MacBook Pro, will that mean I can put alot of programs, music and files on the external hdd and access them even FASTER then when they are on my SSD? Because SSD's have a read speed of something like 200 or 300 mb/s right? But with ThunderBolt I can read with 900 mb/s from a HDD, so would that mean that a HDD with ThunderBolt is 3 times faster than an internal SSD? As in: I could buy a 128GB SSD and put my bigger files on the External HDD to access them even faster. Searched my *** off for an answer.
Q5. Right now I am thinking about NOT taking the apple care protection plan. It's another € 290 and I personally never had any problems with desktop computers. How is your personal advice for this matter? I am only afraid of it getting stolen but that's not covered anyways.
Q6. Do you have any other advices/tips?
I really hope someone (or more than one!) could help me with this. Especially Question 3 (and 4) have my interest.
Thanks alot for your time. Have a good day,
Julius van der Kwast

Hi Julius,
As you can see in my profile section, my MBP is older by 5 years, 2GB RAM and with regards to question 1 (Q1), has no problems with having all those programs open at the same time with the possible exception of Photoshop since I use Gimp instead. With twice the RAM and much overall much better specs, Photoshop shouldn't be an issue. But you listed some other activities that might need that additional RAM. But the advise most give is to not get it from Apple but from a third party.
Q5 - I always get Apple Care. Only had to use it once but it paid for itself that one time.
Sorry, can't help you much with the questions you really want answered since I won't have a new MBP until (hopefully) next week but for Q4, I believe it depends on the peripheral. My current monitors are too old to allow them to be hooked up in a chain. Supposedly, if the monitors do have the ports, you could via the MBP Thunderbolt port. The speeds are also dependent upon the peripheral. If the external hard drive is using a USB 2 port, you are limited by that speed (480 Mb/s). If it has a Thunderbolt port, then from what I understand, we, my friend, are in for some great times because I believe your RAM will have the ability to access data as fast as it can take it at 10Gb/s (and if will need those kinds of speeds, the 8GB of RAM may be the way to go). The Thunderbolt demos on YouTube where they are accessing four video files from a Raid drive, then sending them back out via Final Cut Pro to a monitor are amazing. I'll probably never push this machine to anywhere near it's limits but I can't wait to see what others do.
Peace,
Jeremiah

MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011 Model: Auto Shutdown/Restart Problem

Hey guys!
This is my first time to sign in, join the community, and ask a question or create a discussion. FYI, I really have little knowledge on tech stuff so please bear with me. Here's my problem, and I hope you can give out your suggestions:
I have a MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011 Model which I have upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion.
A month or two ago, it had started shutting down or restarting at random times. As time passed, this problem became more frequent.
I finally decided to have it checked at Digital Hub, a licensed Apple distributor. After almost a week, they've finally diagnosed that the problem is with my battery. I got my MacBook pro back around 2 (two) weeks ago, and ever since then I had to use an outlet in order for it and myself to work properly. Right now, I'm still saving up to purchase new batteries.
Recently, however, I've noticed that my MacBook Pro auto restarts even when plugged. Take note, RESTART and no longer shutting down completely. Upon further trials, I've finally concluded that it does so only during the use of heavy programs such as Diablo 3, Final Cut Pro X, and when rendering with iMovie. I have yet to try with Adobe products, particularly with Lightroom and Photoshop, and see if it does the same. But more or less, that's what I've noticed so far.
Given that I still haven't purchased the battery yet, I know it's still vague to know the real probelm/solution. But with the given situations, what are you views on this matter? Please let me know. It'd be of great help. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

(Note, I'm a starting out Multimedia Arts Student and photographer. I have little knowledge of the industry for now, but I'm willing to learn. So please forgive me if I don't understand your suggestions at once if they are very in depth or technical.)

Thanks for taking so much time in helping me.
Just an update:
2 loops/passes done - no errors.
Called up Digital Hub and talked to the technician, he says there are 3 possible problems:
1. Battery (which is still inside the laptop) may cause some disturbances with the electric current
2. Software related - most likely re-formatting may be needed
3. Video card may have failed, which means complete change of the logic board ----> worst case
I'm crossing my fingers that it's either of the first two.

Macbook Pro 15" keeps crashing forces reboot help? :-(

I've had this macbook pro for almost 4 years now and recently had a hard drive fail. We went and got it replaced, and reinstalled all the OS Snowleopard stuff along with the adobe creative suite, microsoft office 2008, and diablo 3 (fun). Before the last hard drive failed the computer was randomly freezing, crashing, or forcing me to reboot with the power button.
It stopped for a while after the new hard drive was installed, but I have the same problem beginning again. Please help me figure this out. This is what the error report I got this afternoon said.

What can I do to fix this problem? I don't want to loose everything again or worse ruin another hard drive.

Crashed again! Soooo frustrating. 2 times in 1 day.

Macbook Pro Retina Display hard crashes - not caused by Google Chrome

Hi, all. This is my first time posting on these forums, and it is only due to the unsurpassed amount of frustration I have had with my mbpr. I received it in late August, and it worked great. Yes, I had the waking from sleep problem, but that got fixed in an update and didn't bother me too much. What did bother me was when I started installing my games.
I play a ton of games, I have Steam, Diablo III (which Apple during their keynote said is compatible with the retina display resolution and worked with Apple on making it so), WoW and others. Anytime I play any game, it pretty much crashes and I have not been able to find a single solution.
I have tried disabling graphics switching, installing 3rd party programs to disable graphics switching and uninstalling them again, using an external monitor and the built in retina display, verifying/repairing permissions, setting a cap on the FPS in a game as to not make my laptop hot at all (even crashed with a 30 FPS cap), re-installing OS X Mountain Lion from recovery, resetting the NVRAM...
The computer just locks up, goes into a sound loop (like a record skipping very quickly), and becomes totally unresponsive to anything except a hard reset. On wake, it will always display "Your computer has shut down because of a problem, would you like to open the applications blah blah". Basically asking if I want to start where I left off. It never gives an option to send a report to Apple.
Oh also, it can sometimes crash when it's just remotely warm? For example, when I was re-installing OS X ML from recovery the FIRST time (I did it twice), it crashed mid-installation!
The funny thing is, I have windows 7 installed via Bootcamp. Whenever I play any games on that partition...100% fine. No problems, handles graphics beautifully. Using the OS for anything else such as watching videos, downloading music or movies, using any applications is fine. It just seems to be games (or a very small amount of heat? I'm not sure).
Any suggestions? I'm completely stuck on finding any solutions. My experience with the Apple store has been awful in the past, and going to them with any problem is a last resort for me. In the past, I have been able to solve many problems on my own with enough googling and forum digging.
This, after months, is still unsolvable for me. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
15" MacBook Pro Retina Display, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 2.6 ghz i7.
tl;dr: Macbook crashes everytime I play a game or when it gets warm, I'm not sure, help.

Sorry that no one answered your question the first go-round - sometimes these things just slip by us.
Most people would have probably just recommended taking your machine to your local Apple Store.
Which is what you did - and all is well now, I'm assuming?

How much use can a MacBook pro take?

Hi
I just received my new MacBook pro 2.4ghz, and it's extremely fast. I have noticed that it gets hot when playing games, or when doing a lot at once. I was just worried, since I don't want to abuse my machine, whether I could keep the computer on for most of the day. I was wondering because, unlike a desktop with many big fans, i was worried whether anything bad could happen by leaving the computer on too long?
thanks for any replies!

i think it's silly how you have to buy a warranty from apple at all. you should get a warranty for atleast a year. there are people like me that save up all summer just to buy a laptop but after all the estimated costs find out that we can't even buy a crappy mouse to go with it or applecare whatever it is called.
anyhow, i have dreamweaver, text pad, messenger, firefox, terminal, photoshop cs3, diablo ii, i tunes, i chat, mail, opera, internet explorer and safari all open right now. no lag whatsoever. i am assuming it can take a lot.

Which Macbook Pro to buy as a college student?

There are 3 different Macbook Pro's out there that I can buy with the rebate / reduced price / free iPod Touch. The problem is I don't know which one to buy. Many people said that the difference between a 2.4 and 2.5 core 2 duo cpu is only 5%. Then there is a bit of difference from 256mb to 512mb of the 8600m graphics card.
Basically I will outline what I will be needing from a laptop so you guys can help me make the right decision. But for now before I say what the outline is, you bought your Macbook Pro; did you choose the right one? If you didn't and you could go back in time, which one would you have bought?
Anyways, obviously the laptop is for college work. So Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Photoshop and such. But of course there will be some gaming here and there. I am a Blizzard fanatic and I only play Blizzard games. From diablo 2, starcraft and now Warcraft 3 is pretty much all I play. I am not even going to try WoW as it could probably ruin my college carreer.
But the game I'm really anticipating is Starcraft 2. Which Macbook Pro would be able to handle that game in your opinion?
But I hope these information is good enough so you guys will know which one I should buy. But if you guys have any other questions on what I will be using the MBP for then let me know so I can help you help me pick the right decision.
Thanks!

If you're going to use your new laptop for college use/gaming/general use, my recommendation is going for the $1799 MacBook Pro 2.4GHz. I recommend this one over the others for a few reasons. As mentioned previously, the 0.1GHz in processor speed in essentially unnoticeable. With regard to RAM, its always best to have your system maxed out in order to achieve its full capacity. However, I do recommend going through www.otherworldcomputing.com or a 3rd party RAM merchant to purchase your additional RAM. You can get it for a drastically reduced price there, and then have an AASP install it for you. Bear in mind that installing RAM yourself could void your warranty. My point about the RAM is, the 2GB standard in the $1799 MBP version is sufficient. Also, the graphics card. 256MB should be sufficient to support your gaming, and unless you plan on getting a large display, it shouldn't be necessary to double the VRAM. So, based on the information you provided, the lower-end model should be plenty enough for your needs. Hope this helps.

Macbook Pro won't display 2560X1440 res.

I have a macbook pro that was bought about 4 years ago with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M video card. I connect my laptop to a dell 27" LCD that is capable of 2560 X 1440 resolution. This has always worked until I installed the latest version of Diablo 3. Now it will only run at "1080p". I have done the hold alt while clicking on Scaled in the display settings and that does not display the 2560X1440 option. The closest I have come to resolving this problem is to reboot the laptop and reset the NPRAM (alt+command+R+P). When I do that, the system comes up in a lower resolution but the 2560X1440 is displayed in the display options. Clicking on that setting causes the setting to go away and the 27" LCD sets to "1080p"

OnceAPCLover,
can you still get 2560 × 1440 resolution on your external monitor in other programs? Is it only Diablo 3 where you can’t get 2560 × 1440?
Do you have access to a different monitor to try out, to see if the problem resides with the monitor rather than with the MacBook Pro?

Is there any way for me to upgrade my software/hardware in Israel if I have a macbook pro 5, 5 with leopard?

I have a 3/4 year old macbook pro, and am interested in being able to play some new computer games (a la' diablo 3) among my problems are an old graphics card, and the fact that I can't find a retail store which allows me to upgrade my OS to snow leopard (after which I can of course upgrade online....). Other upgrades would also be great to know of as well...
thanks already

you cant change the graphics card, but you can find retail version of Snow Leopard for sale through 3rd party online vendors.
