Play GuildWars2 on Mac?!

I know I can install Parallels or VMFusion with Windows but anyone else have any suggestions on how I can play Guild Wars 2 on my MAC?  I don't want to have to buy Windows again

Using PlayOnMac
I was getting an average of about 14-18fps over PlayOnMac (using the latest wine 1.5.11gw2 wrapper) with most settings on High (and a few like LOD, Textures and PostProcessing on Medium) both 1440 & 1650 (fullscreen x11) settings on a 2.6 Retina. Although framerates seem low, it is certainly playable even in decent sized mob battles. Lowering res or settigns to Low didn't do much for fps increase either, still around 15-19fps. Either way, this approach is free and shouldn't stop you from enjoying a great game if you can't run via bootcamp for whatever reason. Make sure to get the latest 1.5.11gw2 wine version from PlayOnMac as it fixed some of the issues (tearing, slowdowns and color-changing textures) from the default 1.5.9raw3 version created by the installer script.
Using Bootcamp/Win8
Tried switching to bootcamp/win8 and right away the game runs noticably better now (or, as it should! ) -  at 1920, all settings on high, have not checked actual fps yet, but no slowdown and moves real smooth. May try some settings on ultra later, but don't see this necessary, as it looks pretty great. I am having occassional mouse tracking/clicking issues though using the BT Magic Mouse and trackpad - haven't tried a wired usb mouse yet. Hope this helps. will check back in.

I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue.

  • Help me?! graph card problems when trying to play games on mac in wmvare-windows 7

    I know that you aren't suppose too play games on mac. But I bought a iMac 27"
    Processor  3,5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Minne  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Grafik  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB
    and I installed wmvare and windows 7 so I could do gameplays for my YouTube channel on PC games. I didn't boot because I were insecure but anyways. I installed wmvare and windows 7 sucesfully but then when I were going too try too run the game Black Ops 2 in steam it poped up a message that told me
    "DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions." So I sat for hours trying too understand what the problem was, trying to update DirectX with more. Since I already had the latest DirectX that wasent the problem. And finaly I found the sulution. There were some problem with the grapich card so I needed too upgrade the grapich card. Well ofcourse NIVIDIA didn't have any driver for the GTX 775M grapich card. I checked here https://discussions.apple.com/message/24065327#24065327 and used the link that took me to were I could dowload the drivers. When the dowloading were done and I started the system check after a while it stoped and told me that the NVIDIA installation coulden't go on. Becuase this graphics routine could not find any compatible graphics hardware. So what is the sulution? Because I am not going (I have already put so much money on this) pay more for this too work so as ordering new stuff like a driver, another grapich card or anything lika that I dont want to boot my computer but if I must I perhaps will do it just if I dont need to pay for another windows 7. So I want a awnser were I can and how I can dowload the drivers so that I can play games on my mac for exampel; Black Ops 2, Battelfield 3/4, The Forest, Day Z. Would be greatfull for awnsers that have a sulution!!!!

    Okey, so when I was going too boot my computer it works good untill half the way thruh when boot campassistant is going too dowload the latest windows assistant it says "This computer can just do windows 7" then I press next after a few seconds it says "Can't dowload files because the server is busy" (this was just from my memory it may have been somthing else, but it is pretty much what it said). So how do I fix this, the easiest thing too just press a few buttons and choose a ISO image and the it can't even proseed to the pratipation....

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

  • Is there a way to embed video in a PDF that will play on a Mac or iPad?

    I am creating a training document in Acrobat XI Pro (converted from Word).  I have embedded a video into the PDF that plays within the document, and it works fine on my PC.  When the file is opened on a Mac or iPad, the video will not play.  As another option, I embedded the video as a YouTube widget.  Again, it plays fine on my PC but won't play on a Mac or iPad.  As a third option, I've tried hyperlinking a screen shot of the YouTube video in my PDF.  On my PC and iPad it will navigate me to my browser to play the video in YouTube, but is not functional on my Mac.
    Would welcome suggestions.  Ideally want one solution that will play on all 3 devices!
    Thank you.

    First of all, if you want to run video inside a .pdf on an iPad, you should be aware that the Adobe Tablet and Mobile reader does NOT support rich media ( audio or video ).  Despite trying to encourage Adobe to 'get real', it seems that they have no intention to do so in the short term.  SO ... I have been working with a company called Readdle, and beta testing their 'PDF Expert' application, and it is probably the most sophisticated .pdf  reader for iOS on the market.
    It supports rich media, and certain levels of JavaScript that are particularly useful for this kind of work.
    However, if all you want to do is insert video into a single .pdf document, that will run on iOS ( with 'PDF Expert only' ) as well as desktop Mac or PC, the video needs to be h264 .mp4 format ( basically avoid ANY based Flash content for iOS ).
    You should also note, that active Buttons ( not hyperlinks, which are different ) which you might wish to create in say InDesign or even Acrobat, need to be made up of just imagery (and that also means converting your text to outlines ).  However, this is only necessary for iOS with PDF Expert.  Also be aware that I have not done much work which includes .pdf on Android.
    I do think though that if you stick with basic navigation, avoid active 'Layers' authoring and only want to run simple video, the h264 .mp4 encoding is going to work across ALL platforms.

    I have a mac from 2009. I want to play a dvd that plays on earlier macs but my dvd player won't even recognise that there is a dvd. It whirrs a bit and then spits it out. Please help.

    Hi Tamara,
    I have a macbook
    The forums for the Macbooks having a black or a white plastic case are here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248
    If you Macbook has an aluminum case, post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=249
    If there are specific or recurring issues with MacBook DVD drives, it should show up in one of those forums.
    If you want help figuring out exactly which Mac variant you have, do "About this Mac..." from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, then click on "More Info..." in the resulting window. If you copy and paste the results in the "Hardware Overview" into a post--EXCEPT for the serial number--people here can translate the info and make sure you find the proper forum for your Mac. For example, that info for my old PowerMac I like to use is:
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G4
    Machine Model: PowerMac3,6
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 1.75 GB
    Bus Speed: 167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.4.8f2
    Serial Number: <removed>
    Although yours won't have exactly the same info, this shows the format you are seeking. Note how I deleted the serial number. This type of info gets you help faster because it avoids a lot of "back-and-forth" posts trying to figure out machine-specific details.

    Are you using HDMI or an Apple Airplay Module to go to the TV Speakers?
    If you are using an HDMI it's straight through output. The internal speakers are disabled.
    If you are using an Airplay Module:
    - Go on iTunes
    - Locate the Airplay icon that has a TV with an up arrow icon much like your iPhone has for Bluetooth
    - Click on that and Airplay to ModuleName

    I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help! Please!

    This is not the problem. We are using quicktime on the pc's and the mac. I also tried to open the file on the pc with other programs and it doesn't recognize the file. The file opens fine on my mac but I cannot save it as a new file. It says that "the end of the file was reached." The recording was made in iShowU then edited in Quicktime Pro.

    Unfortunately that didn't do the trick.  For the life of me I can't figure this one out.  However, if I author it using iDVD (with the same media) it works?  I'd make do with IDVD if I could get rid of the Apple logo in the lower right corner.

  • I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    "I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
    How? Using what equipment/software?
    "The DVD  plays on the device on which it was recorded."
    Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions.
