Mac Support

[TobyKaos]

Will you support Mac? I have a recent Mac Mini.

OSX Yosemite support would be great!

Shoo! Shoo you Mac peasants!

Sorry mate but a Mac Mini is far too inferior to play on.

That being said, it's not as easy to just "make" a Mac port either. Unfortunately, Mac's use a completely different .API since they are UNIX based, so it would cost a lot of time and resources to support the very few Mac Gamers that exist, let alone the very few that actually have a Mac with a dedicated GPU.

Colin McCrae Rally and Dirt3 both have Mac support, so this isn't an unreasonable question. I too would like an answer:

Are there any plans for OSX support, and if so, what's the timeline.

I'm basically a Mac guy, but I can't see this happening anyime soon. Macs just dont have the GPU grunt needed except in very high-end models. The Mini in particular suffers from a weak GPU. I built a PC to play DR, and while I realise that's not necessarily an option for a lot of people, it came in at less than the cost of a Macbook Pro 13. It means suffering Windows between the time you boot and the time you open DR, but once in the game, who cares?

Версию на мак я бы купил)

indeed, I have bough a new Graphics Card and SSD drive for my windows pc.

I love my mac but macs are not nor will ever be meant for gaming.... They just arent... Even giving the support to macs wont fix the fact that the gpu in a mac is not for gaming....

If the Dirt Rally port for GNU/Linux is any indication, the folks at Feral know their craft well! I would suggest waiting with a purchase for Mac until it is out - or dual-boot into a recent Linux-Distro and go playing now :P

It's out now. High Sierra (10.13) required because of the Metal 2 API.

Shoo! Shoo you Windows smart alecs! ;)

Did someone try it with Intel HD3000 on Mac?

It should not be supported but if someone tried, I would like to know if the game doesn't run at all or if it's runing with low framerate.

[star-affinity]

I'm pretty certain it won't run at all. Apple's graphics API Metal (Metal 2 even) is used for the game and that requires HD 4000 or newer.
