This thread is about player's experiences setting up Boot Camp (and possibly other apps & programs) to run Warframe on their Mac. This thread is meant to be Mac analog to the Linux with Wine thread.
I could not find such a Guide through forum search or Players Helping Players List last week, probably lost in the Archive threads if there ever was one, when Kickbot was talking about his positive experiences running Warframe on his Mac Book Pro.
My agenda is to have something to show my Machead friends and family how they can get in the game and partying it up with me, that, thus far obstinately refuse to run games that do not work natively in OSX.
Once we get beyond cursory and rudimentary information to something more concrete and practical through community I can then share it with them.
Parallel Mac OSX & Windows Installs // Possible Virtual Machine Installs (DX10 Gameplay)
This section is a work in progress but is something I am very interested in providing here, too.
There are also ways to use Boot Camp with other apps and programs so you can move in and out of Windows & OSX running in parallel kind of like tabbing in and out of programs in Windows, rather than having to boot up stuck in only one operation system. I would like to include such if some have gotten a stable Warframe install going that way.
From what I understand, there is often a slight to moderate performance hit, especially on certain Mac builds or what is used & configured for each install. I would still like to hear about them to get them included in this Guide. Please let me now.
Note: VMware Fusion 7 Pro version only supported up to DX9.0c. The current version, Fusion 8, supports DX10 in both its regular and Pro versions.
