Corpse_of_KTS Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Greetings Warframe community my name is KT Smith and if anyone follows the competitive fighting game scene you might recognize the name from Netherrealm Studios titles (MK9 and Injustice) and possibly Street Fighter 4. I'm at the bottom of the top level players or the top of the upper-mid level players depending on how you want to look at it, haha I tried out Warframe and I love it so far; an amazing title to chill with when not training for tournaments and stuff. I'm currently running the game in Windows 7 64-bit bootcamp'd on a Macbook Pro 2011. I'm having a little bit of difficulty getting the game to run optimally. Initially, the game would not run at all (significant lag, huge amount of lost frames). But, a driver update for the AMD Radeon 6450M card in the mac got it running decently but I think there is room for improvement. So, if anyone could point me in the direction of someone who has experience setting something like this up that'd be great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix 2: Your using an Radeon, Get a Nvidia Card. I don't mean to sound rude in this post, but this game was specificly designed for Windows, and Bootcamping on a Mac will cause huge performance issues as your running a Windows OS on top of a Mac OS. (Plus Mac Hardware is Crap for any kind of gaming.) Also note that Radeon's arn't exactly great for this game, they CAN work, but no where as effecient as a Nvidia, plus you won't be able to enable the awesome physx of the game as well.

Obviously getting a dedicated windows machine will increase performance. That's not in the cards for anytime in the foreseeable future so I need to work with what I've got.

squaresphere Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Welcome aboard, don't mind the haters. I know a few folks do play WF on macs through boot camp but as far as optimizations I have no idea what you might be able to do to improve performance. Since you have a fighting game background you'll love to know you can chain certain movements together for some fun results. No real animation cancels though ;) well unless you count hitting melee to break reload animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKeif Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Consider looking into a dual boot on your mac? This means you would partition your hard drive and install windows to that partition. In doing so, when you start up your mac it would ask what partition you'd like to boot to. You could actually boot a windows operating system on your mac.Look it up. too much to explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse_of_KTS Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 - - Thanks for the help guys. I think it may have to do with my windows installation and/or the set of drivers I got because it runs amazingly well on a 2012 mac pro, the only noticeable difference being that this second machine as a Radeon 6700M card. Is there that big of a performance difference between the two? I'll have to look into it... And you can reload cancel? that's badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse_of_KTS Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 melee cancel I checked it out and was hoping the reload would take if you canceled the animation but it doesn't :( not as sweet as I thought thanks for the tip though!

Handy when those damn infested start to mob you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmthebigman Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 about video cards: radeon= faster nvidia = more stable performance a few local pc stores all said nvidia>radeon for gaming. you could try razer gamebooster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look it up. too much to explain Bootcamp is the Mac dual boot options. Bootcamp is not a virtual machine... I get decent performance on my Macbook Pro 2011 on Win 8 bootcamp with the bootcamp 5 drivers (I would suggest the Radeon Drivers over the ones provided by Apple). As long as I run no more than 1600x900 is runs fast. Runs ok at 1900x 1080 but do notice some frame lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttwich Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) All fighting is competitive. Better way of phrasing it is if you actually make money or not by not having any real skills. Edited August 14, 2013 by buttwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
