Star Wars: The Old Republic

Just to say, I think we in the apple community should push apple and the makers of star wars the old republic to make there games able to run on Mac OS. I know for a fact that any macbook and macbook pro from 2010 and up can easily run the game nativly and probably much better since it's a mac!

Don't wait on Apple....rev up some developer skills, wrestle permission from the ST concern and DIY.

Anyone played Star Wars: The Old Republic on Macbook pro 13 inch?

Just wondered if anyone had played Star Wars The Old Republic on the 13 inch MBP. Im considering buying the new 13 inch, 2.9ghz i7, but not sure about Intel HD 4000, has anyone had much success with the Intel HD 3000 on previous model. Im guessing bootcamp is the best way to play it.
Thanks

Running windows 7 to play Star Wars the old republic

I recently bought Star Wars The Old Republic MMO and wanted to play it on my Mac Book Pro [I do not have the current gen. MBP being sold I have the model previous]
I went out to my local apple store and bought parallels deskdop 7 after reading the reviews on it. [~$80]
I then went out and purchased windows 7 [~$200]
Installed both.....
and im told that my mac does not have enough processing power to play the game? I used to play world of warcraft on it with no problem. Should I buy a different program that runs windows 7 solo so Im not splitting up my processing power? Or will I just not have the ability to play this game on this mac?
Have anyone else come across any similar issues or tried to do the same?
When I attempt to play the game the game window will not stretch to fill the entire screen, it drops down to a smaller window which isnt large enough to effectively play the new game.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks!

Ask your question in the Boot Camp forum. Alternatively, you should contact Parallels. This forum is to discuss the MacBook Pro hardware, not how to set up a game.

I want to play Star wars the old repubic, Im about to get a new macbook pro with retina display if I upgrade as much as I can afford, about $3000 will I be able to play the game straight out of the box with boot camp and windows 7 or 8, and will the game run with pretty good performance without further upgrade, this is what I would be putting onto the macbook.

Im good with macs, but not really good at figuring which would be the best at playing the game!
thanks!

Checking out compatibility with Lion seems fine, but I don't know about Mountain Lion - you may want to contact the developer. I never got into games on a Mac, but your configuration should work without any problems.

I want to get Star Wars the old republic on my mac.

If I use bootcamp, do I also need to get windows? Or can I just install SWTOR and run it through boot camp? (I am admittedly a novice)

You will need a copy of Windows.

Knights of the Old Republic won't open!?!?

I just downloaded Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic from the App Store, I got the file and put it in my applications folder, I put the Icon on the dock and when I click to start, it bounces then nada. I got to app store to download again and it says I have the version but I didn't get it from the app store!?!? When I CLEARLY spent MY MONEY from the app store to buy, now they're asking me to buy it again????

Delete the app then try again, also it should install to the applications folder

Knights of the Old Republic slow in 10.4.4

Ok, ever since I've updated to Mac OS X 10.4.4, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic has been running extremely slow to the point were it's impossible to play. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening? Everything else on my computer is running pretty much just like it used to before the 10.4.4 update. Please, help me.

where do you keep the program?
if you keep it in the Application folder move it to the top level.
from the finder click on your hard-drive and create a folder I call mine "Games"
move KOR to the new folder.
since this was recommend to me I moved all my games there and haven't had a problem.
after you move KOR run a App like Disk Warrior, and repair permissions from your install disk.

Star Wars the Force Unleashed "Slow Motion (commonly known as a form of lag)"

I have been attempting to run the game "Star Wars the Force Unleashed," on a 13-inch MacBook Pro Late 2011 with Intel Graphics HD 3000, 500 gb hard drive, 2.4 GHz processor speed, and 4 gig ram, and the game seems to be going in "slow motion (commonly known as a form of lag)." I have done my resurch and my sources have told me that I might have to turn off v-sync. I have not found a way to do this and I was wondering what might be a way of doing this, or is there anothers solution? Your contribution would be much appreciated.

Problems with loading Star Wars The Force Unleashed

Can I get a refund from Apple Apps? a few days ago I loaded "Star Wars The Force Unleashed from Apple Apps." When the game loads the opening page has three lines across the bottom, such as: NEW GAME CONTINUE GAME LOAD GAME. Beneath that list is another line with the words “use keyboard to navigate menus." There is a list of keys to use but none of them work on the game. However, keys F19, F18 and F17 do change the order and the highlights on the bottom line but still provide no further help. I discovered this only by experimenting with various keys. Aspyr support says the opening screen is followed by a tutorial. There is no tutorial. After the first screen has been showing for a short time the game continues into a series of action scenes and then returns to the original opening page. There is no way to close or eject the game. It only endlessly repeats the same opening display. I cannot remove or eject the game except to shut down and reload. None of the instructions offered by Aspyr have assisted me in any way. I could, of course, remove the game entirely but would I get a refund then?

Star wars Knights of the old republic

Yeah, so I have the game and everything and I'm on a MacBook Pro and I can't figure out how to move my character around? All of the settings are on default. The game runs perfectly I just can't figure it out. Thanks!

Hi, I was thinking of buying this, but there is nothing to tell you how it works, and what the controls are like. Obviously you figured it out, but you could tell me before I buy it? Is it mostly on the keyboard? Does it need a mouse? Is it possible to use an XBox controller with it?

Will kotor (knights of the old republic) play on my macbook pro?

my old laptop finally died and i was mainly looking for a place to store my itunes library, mainly use my ipad for work, games, mail and facebook of course. so when i need a new laptop i figured i'd try a mac. so not too concerned with its capabilities i bought a 13" macbook pro 2.4, late 2011. i didn't realize there was a mac app store and was pleasantly suprised to see one of my old favorites (kotor) on the app store. however, im not entirely computer literate and i am not sure if it will run on my macbook. so if someone could help me figure this out i would appreciate it
my macbook pro specs:
MacBook Pro
13-inch, late 2011
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50d)
thanks in advance.

Templeton's the Man.
Word of warning to save you from surprises. The 13" MBPs have Shared Video Memory. This means that the main memory is used both for holding all the programs you are running at any given time, the files those programs may be working on, AND the space needed for storing all that's being displayed on the screen. Plus, the Core i5 processor and the graphics processor have to take turns at getting to all that information. This means that although games will run on that computer, if they are very graphics intensive, performance may be less than expected. Because of this and since you are using Lion 10.7.3, it may be advantageous to upgrade the memory to 8GB. Upgrade kits from reputable RAM suppliers like Corsair, Kingston, etc.,run the range of $45 to $60.

Gaming - Knights of the Old Republic Windows XP or Mac Edition (Aspyr)

Hi,
We just got the new Macbook Pro 2.4 GHZ, with the NVidia 9600 GT. I've successfully installed Windows XP Boot Camp. Being an old Windows user, though, I would love to play some old games, like KOTOR 1 and 2, Warcraft III and Silent Hunter III and IV, and perhaps the upcoming Starcraft 2 and Diablo III.
However, I had a question. Would those games run in Bootcamp? Is there a site on the Internet that deals with Boot Camp gaming? Finally, would I be better to get KOTOR 1 for Mac or get both KOTOR 1 and 2 for Windows? I've read that KOTOR 1 for Mac is still not Universal Binary, and this may cause problems.
Anyway, any advice regarding this would be appreciated. Finally, I have yet to download any Windows Updates, and was wondering if any are really worth it or I should just stick with SP 2 and DX 9.0C?
Thanks!

All AV programs have their pros and cons. I'm running McAfee VirusScan V8.5i but that choice was dictated only by the fact that I'm covered by a corporate license.
I'd also recommend:
The free malware sweeper Spybot Search & Destroy to supplement whatever AV you're going to run:

Paragon NTFS, to give you read/write access to your Windows partition from your OSX desktop:

MediaFour MacDrive to give you read/write access to all your Mac formatted volumes (inc HDD's CD's DVD Roms, iPods etc) from your Windows Desktop.

Neither of the last two are essential, but they do make life a lot easier.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed Preferences.

The game is running fine, however i deselected the option to launch the preferences window when the game is launched, and as I am new to Mac i cant figure out how to get back into it to change the controller option. Little help please.

I just figured it out man! I spent a whole day figuring this out. On the main menu press Command Key+< key. I was so happy when I figured it out. Have fun playing man!

The miniatures looked a bit boring by themselves so we painted them to make them look more sexy.

Han Solo, hands down.
A New Hope. I still remember the day my dad took me to the cinema to watch that film, standing outside in a queue for 3 hours to get in. I've honestly lost track of how many times I've watched it but having a guess I'd say 120-130 times. I once watched it with my cousin 6 times in one day
Hmmm, I think it has to be from The Empire Strikes back when Luke leaves his training earlier to save Han Solo and Leia. Yoda isn't happy about this and is talking to the ghost of Obi-Wan who says "That boy is our last hope" to which my favourite quote is uttered from Yoda: "No, there is another". ARRRRRRAGHHHHH. As an 11 year old that was too much to bear! Who was the other Yoda referred to? Think I must have dreamt a number of times that it was me Having to wait 3 years to get my answer was no fun!
I'm actually not too fussed by the viewing order. Come December I'll be watching all 6 to get me in the mood!
As a teenager I convinced my mum and dad to let me paint 2 of my bedroom walls black. We had a friend of the family who was a good artist and he came in and painted the names of the first three films on one wall and an epic space battle on the other. It had it all. Shame I don't have any pictures of it handy otherwise I'd post them. But needless to say my room was mega cool
