Windows 7 bootcamp the FPS is terrible

I've been playing games in bootcamp for a long time however today i opened up League Of Legends and the fps was 23-18 fps but before it was running in 60-80fps, this also happened to skyrim, the fps is not playable but before it was beautiful. What is wrong? How can i fix!?

The hardware is what it is, not much help we can offer.
Just make sure you have installed the Mac device drivers on the Windows instance, so that "foreign" OS knows what to do with the Retina display and all the fine goodies found in the Mac. The BootCamp Assistant offers to create a drivers install media onto an USB memory stick (or a CD for us Retina-less Mac owners ) as one of the first steps. You use that when Windows is installed to have it update its worldview of things.

I currently run Windows 7 on my iMac using the Parallels software on a Virtual Machine. I now wish to use Windows through bootcamp. How do I remove windows from the Virtual Machine

I currently run Windows 7 on my Imac through a Virtual Machine format with the Parallels software. I now wish to remove Windows from the VM restore the Hard Drive to a single partition then install windows 7 using bootcamp. How do I go about it

The virtual machine isn't a partition on your hard drive, it's just a file. You can delete the vm by going into Paralells preferences or just drag t to the trash. Bootcamp will partition your hard drive for a Win 7 install.

No idea if Windows will do it, but you can run Windows without Bootcamp & have OSX available at the same time, which should give you all the Monitors that OSX uses.

How long did you wait for the download to run? The last time I downloaded the Windows support files for Boot Camp, it was going very slowly, so I swapped away to another task. Several minutes later I came back and it had moved a little, but not much, so I went on with other things. When I got back to it several hours later, the download had completed. Perhaps you just need to let it go overnight to perform the downloads...

You may have better luck posting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and MS Windows guru's tend to hang out.

Creative Cloud on Mac OSX and Windows Bootcamp on the same machine.

Hello,
I am looking into getting 3DStudio Max which is a Windows only program but will need to flip flop between 3DSM and Photoshop. I am wondering, can I install my Adobe apps on both Operating Systems so that I can have them on my regular Mac OSX for normal work and in Windows Bootcamp for when I do 3D renderings? I rather not use a Virtual Machine considering both of those programs are going to take a lot of RAM already. Adding another program to that mix I feel will just overheat/slow down my machine.
Thank you for your thoughts and time,
Sarah

that's interesting. it may be a problem, but give it a try.
just open your bootcamp windows, navigate to https://creative.adobe.com/ and start downloading ps. a cc desktop app will download to your bootcamp windows and hopefully you ps will work on your bootcamp windows. i don't see any reason why it would stop working your mac, but that will count as your two installations so you will not be able to install on another computer.

How do I share Mac music and photo files when in Windows Bootcamp mode?

I have a new iMac with a terabyte of storage that includes about 30 gigs each of iTunes music and jpg photos. I need to share them to the Windows Bootcamp environment so I can wirelessly stream to them to a DLink DSM 320 media server connected to an AV system located in another room. When in Bootcamp Windows the the 320 can "see" the Windows machine but cannot find any media.
So the question is, how do I share files between Mac and Windows when in Windows Bootcamp?
A better solution would be to directly connect the Dlink when in the Mac environment but I have not been able to find software to do that (the Dlink product is for PC only.) If anyone knows of such software that would be great too.

Windows needs third party software to see files on the MAC OS extended FS. I've heard MacDrive does this.

When booting into my previously working Windows partition, the screen is not displaying anything. It was working before...

Im not sure what happened but I just tried to bootinto my Windows partition and the screen is completely blank. I dont see the Windows boot logo and I eventually here the startup noise. I have also been able to logon without seeeing the screen.
Ive done a PRAM and SMC reset and neither has helped. I suspect that a recent update on OS X may have caused video issues but I am not sure of it. All of my research has led me to a black screen during the install of Windows onto the bootcamp partition. Nothing delaing with an actual running Windows partition that just goes to black.
Any suggestions?

There is more than enough disk space available on the partition.
Booting from the install CD doesnt work because I cannot seeing anything.
Removed my install of Windows 7 via bootcamp and tried to reinstall but I got the same black screen (no backlight as usual).
BTW, OS X does affect the Windows install. If you update the driver for the say the video card, that means that the apple drivers that are needed to run Windows are more than likely to be affected.
Just like VMware tool running on a ESXi 4.1 host will need to be reinstalled on an ESXi 5.0 host. Same hardware but the tools on the VM need to be updated to reflect the host OS.

How do I fix the FPS in my platform game?

Hi everyone! As part of a course in Gamemaking in school, my team created a platformer with a colission-map instead of tiles. This has worked out well for the most part.
My problem is that we have a loop that updates and draws everything to the screen ( this is in windowed mode by the way ) . The game runs and the gameplay is ok.
But it runs with different speed depending on the hardware. On my computer everything is slow, but on new computers the objects race back and forth like mad. Furthermore sometimes as the player dies and the level restarts, the player dies on the spot!
From what I have read this is due to the fact that we haven´t fixed the FPS. But Im at a loss as to how im supposed to fix it. One sollution tells me to use a timer and then place logic inside actionPerforemed, but since I am using a loop inside run() this cant work.
The program is divided into several classes, but the main logic residen in the class main,java
public Main(){
          super("Mimic");
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

I figure I got to put a timer to fix the FPS somewhere in here, but where?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Speed should be 'tick' based. The way I do it, with silky smooth results, is to lock the game to a framerate. That part is quite easy, all you do is calculate at what interval you want to update. Say you want 60FPS, it becomes:
interval = 1000 / 60 (interval = 17ms).
So if you want 60FPS, you have to update and draw every 17 milliseconds. That sounds like a short time, but for computers it really is not.
Okay, so you have your game loop. while(true) { update(); render(); }. The body of this loop should execute every 17ms (it won't be that precise, but it will be good enough). It goes a little something like this:
while(running){
long measure1 = currentTimeInMillis();
update();
render();
long measure2 = currentTimeInMillis();
long diff = measure2 - measure1;
Thread.sleep(17-diff); // sleep until next tick
}This will have the game ticking at 58-61 FPS, depending on the timing precision of the OS - you'll find that on Linux OSes the framerate is far more steady than on Windows environments for example, in Java at least. Its just the sleep call that is far from precise.
Now you will want to make movement based on the framerate - the way I do that is to work with float measurements. For movement speed I say 'every tick, move X.X pixels', where I keep the units in increments of 0.5 pixels. This means that moving game entities can go as slow as 0.5 pixels each tick in my games, which is slow enough for most of them. In the end when determining the actual pixel locations, the floats are rounded down to ints.
I hope that makes some sense.

Disk Problems, OSX partition will not repair is Windows CHKDSK the culprit?

Hi,
I have both Snow Leopard (fully updated) and Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition on my MacBook Pro.
Repairing Permissions on my Mac OS 10.6.4 partition had become a very regular with 'Java' permission problems always seeming to be a very regular and common one.
Anyhow, I thought it appropriate and logical to run the WIndows 7 equivalent of disk-verify/disk-repair/permission-repair and therefore run CHKDSK at 'CMD' level and this appeared to run accordingly without problems.
At some point/days later, my Mac OS appeared to be slow and having a lot of spinny-ball, therefore verified Macintosh HD volume-disk with Disk Utility and showed to have lots of problem. Disk Utility Repair has failed having tried it many times and not even Drive Genius 3 is able to repair or rebuild it on this occasion however I was able to run a 'Scan' on it from Drive Genius 3 and it reported thankfully that there was NO bad blocks.
The error thats returned repeatedly when doing a repair is "Incorrect number of thread records" which is reported immediately after "Checking Catalog File"
Not keen on the thought of having to format, re-install and then re-setup the system even from a Super-Duper backup copy that I had made previously (minus some data since).
However, my questions are:
1. Is it possible that the Windows 7 'CHKDSK' command may have possibly caused this despite the fact that it would have or should have only performed it's operations on the BOOTCAMP disk partition?
2. Is it possible to reformat and restore any previously backed-up images to a single disk partition _without upsetting the other Partition and OS_ residing on it (albeit on the same overall physical disk), i.e. Restoring my Mac OS X SuperDuper backup image back onto the current Mac partition... and would the same apply if ever having to restore a Windows 7 Acronis backup image back onto the current BOOTCAMP partition.
3. Would there be another alternative before a drastic reformat and recovery of the Mac OSX partition (if that's even possible without affecting BOOTCAMP - from question 2 above)
Advice would be much appreciated, many thanx.

At the time I had run the 'CHKDSK' command from within Windows, from the 'Run' command prompt located within the Start Menu.
Fortunately I still have the previous HDD that originally came with the MacBook Pro before I upgraded the internal drive some time ago and therefore I have been able to boot externally from this and continue to do so until I've decided what to do, which looks like a recovery from the previous super-duper backup will be inevitable.
I guess I'm unlikely to come across any software or fix that will be capable of correcting the 'faulty number of thread records' being reported after the 'Checking Catalog File' disk repair check routine, however if I find a solution then I'll post it here, otherwise an eventual recovery/install it is.
Under Fortuny's revelation, I will procede with MacDrive with caution and probably disable it if ever running a Windows CHKDSK again (if indeed this is the underlying cause of the problem). And under your advise 'The hatter' I shall certainly look into the Windows system file checker alternative, thanks.

Is it possible to get ReadWrite Mac HFS+ drivers for windows 7 so I can manage my Mac formatted Backups through windows bootcamp?

Hello!
I was just curious if there was a driver or something I can install so that I can read and write my mac OSX formatted [HFS+] external drives in Windows 7,
using the windows file explorer [the equivalent for finder].
This is essential for me because I need the windows explorer copy/file transfer dialog box with all it's options and functionality.
Any suggestions relating either to windows bootcamp, or running windows through vmware fusion next to mountain lion [I would much prefer to be able to do this with VMWare Fusion, but either way is absolutely fine.]
I need this because I need to do HEAPS of file management,
and I find finder's file transfer / copy dialog box to be totally inadequate, hopeless and almost useless, [a nightmare in fact] next to the excellent functionality of Windows 7 file transfer dialog.
This has been my most hated issue with OSX for years now.
File management is a total nightmare in OSX.
I may make another post / feature request detailing my hatred of this lack of functionality, because it kills me every time I have to manage and backup large folders filled with lots of files and subfolders.
Sorry for the end-rant.
Thanks so much for any help! (:

Hello Alberto and Woodmeister50,
thank you for both your answers.
I have to try and remember to state things I have tried previously or am aware of; my bad!
Alberto:
Thanks for your ideas.
I'm aware of ex-fat format.
Unfortunately, my external drives are quite full and a reformat or EXFAT partition is out of the question.
I'm formatted them OSX extended journaled a couple of years back before I was aware of exfat.
I could buy yet another drive, but I don't really want to do that until SSD's come down in price and expand in size.
[also, while not a big issue, I hear EXFAT can't handle files bigger than 4gb. Not that I have many such files, so that's not really a big concern].
So doing my file organization through windows explorer is, to my knowledge, the best option,
if it is possible. [I hope!]
This would be a perfectly satisfactory solution for me if I can use Windows Explorer through VMware to manage and organize the files and folder on my HFS+ external drives.
I'm not sure if paragon HFS+ or Macdrive allow you to use windows explorer to manage files?
Or only through their own file manager and dialogs?
A costly gamble if they do not, and if their file/folder transfer dialog also happens to be inadequate.
Woodmeister :
Thanks.
Actually, my problem is both HFS+ / windows compatibility AND that I hate finder
[the HFS problem being a result of the fact I hate finder]
I have tried Pathfinder [the demo version though, maybe it has limited functionality],
and I have found it's file transfer dialog / options / functionality to be very totally lacking as well.
Others I have tried.
Mac Explorer.
MoveAddict doesn't seem to work for me presently, although I hear it might be good.
Total finder is fantastic for other reasons but does nothing for the copy dialog.
Um.... there were a bunch of others I tried, but all no good.
So I guess my question is still the same, with a bit more specific information now
For a very in-depth review/analysis of the hatred of finder's lack of features in this area,
there are many threads on many forums, such as can be found if you google for the thread on this forum
GOOGLE : MacRumors OS X: how to merge folder contents, not replace
Please ignore the fact that some ex-windows people are just not used to the fact that "replace" in finder means to replace a whole folder, as this is not the issue.
The lack of functionality is, and there are many pages of mac-loving people complaining about it.

Disk repair failed after using osx with hibernated windows/bootcamp with macdrive

hi,
i just realized i did something really,really stupid.
I forgot I just closed the lid of my MBP the last time I used windows/bootcamp (instead of shutting it down) and that triggered hibernation.
The next time I powered my MBP on, OSX startet automatically and I opened some of the same files that "were already open" in the hibernated windows (on osx main/boot partition, using macdrive in windows).
That (or resuming the hibernated windows later) probably led to some data corruption that prevents the osx volume from booting and neither the automatical repairing during booting nor disk utility (external hdd or recovery partition) is able to repair it. (not sure if there is any difference).
Booting in verbose mode shows the file names that were double-opened during repair attempts.
After booting osx from an external HDD, Disk utility fails mounting the main osx volume straight away, but succeeds with mounting it after a failed repair attempt.
I only have read acces then, though.
bootcamp partition is still working fine, btw
1. I wonder if it is possible to gain write access somehow and if deleting just those "double-opened" files/the containing folder (which is saved on dropbox btw, so I really wouldnt mind deleting them/it) would solve the whole problem or if i really have to reformat everything and spend 10+ hours to revert everything to the state before the data corruption. ?
2. if I have to reformat + reinstall, using migration assistant and the corrupted volume as source isn't a great idea, i guess? are there any options to exclude some specific folders of the user folders?
3. will the bootcamp partition work after reinstalling osx or do i have to winclone-it somewhere? checkdisk says the volume is OK btw.
many thanks!

Hi 3tc, thnx for a tip.
One more question - did procedure solve also "file already in use" problem on win bootcamp?
thnx

How to install windows without the cd drive?

Hello,
I have a 2009 iMac that I want to install Windows 7 on. I have both a Windows 7 iso and a Windows 7 DVD. However, my cd drive is a mess, and upon trying to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the installation failed miserably 3 times at expanding windows files 0%. From there it just freezes for more than an hour and then gives me an error.
Now, my Bootcamp Assistant has an option to create a windows 7 install disk, but unfortunately it is greyed out.
My question to you guys: Is it possible to install Windows 7 on the iMac without using the cd drive?
I am using Lion, if that is helpful. Also, the Windows 7 DVD works fine, as I have already installed Windows on my 2011 iMac from it.
Thanks!

I'm in a similar situation. Attending an online university and I need to use Access. But of course, Microsoft doesn't make a Mac version. I can get Windows through the university discount program, but only as a downloadable .iso file and a verification key. My drive works fine, I just don't have an actual CD/DVD to put in there.

ACD as main display under Windows/BootCamp while in clamshell possible?

Is there any way to run a BootCamp Windows XP Pro installation on an MBP using the ACD as main display while in clamshell mode? Currently the system refuses to wake up after I close the lid. I use a BT mouse/KB, but even with a USB mouse connected it wouldn't wake up. It seems like it would be possible, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Correct, there was no Gather Windows button.
I do have multiple adapters, but one is an Apple adapter which is, apparently, "passive" whilst the other is active. The passive adapter never works at all under MacOS X, but I haven't tried it under Windows. The "active" adapter works under Windows, but only shows the apple bootup logo under MacOS X, and then turns the display off.
I don't think that the mini displayport is faulty, because the second display plugged into it works perfectly through BootCamp.
I'll try thoroughly testing out all adapters tonight, and then try a different brand of display. I've seen a lot of posts about ViewSonics being flakey under MacOS X, so it's possible it could be on the display driver side of things. Maybe ViewSonic does something screwy signal-wise in their displays, and Windows is willing to deal with it but MacOS X isn't.
Oddly enough, the ViewSonic display I have was shipped with a single-link DVI cable, and it's always worked without a problem, even when plugged into the dual-link DVI port on the Mac Pro. So I don't believe that the display *itself* requires a complete dual-link connection to the computer.
I have much appreciation for all the help and suggestions. Thanks again.
