Can someone try the 2D mode in Parallels or VirtualPC?

[DaveyJJ]

HI,

For us OSX-owning types who prefer not to dual-boot using Bootcamp, has anyone tried playing under either Parallels or VirtualPC? Both solutions can handle 3D games now to a passable degree, and wondered if anyone had tried getting the title to run, and what sort of performance they were getting.

Without a demo I can't risk buying the game only to find out it won't run in a virtualized Windows environment. Thanks.

No one with a recent Mac able to try?

Have tried to run CoH under OSX with Paralells without any success. The game starts up, but the grafics and colors is screwed up when you enter the operational phase (where you move the units around +++)

Would appricate any advice on how to solve this.

Sorry I have no idea how to make it work on this. Not sure if any of the community can help or maybe someone from the Matrix forums

I am running the game on a 2011 iMac (27, i7), SnowLeopard + Parallels.

I works perfectly, I only had to switch to simple water.... and I think that was the only option. No performance problems in the 2D or 3D mode.

That's what I wanted to know. This is excellent news. I have a late 2010 27" iMac with the 512 5670 card and 12GB of RAM so will also be fine. One more sale! Thank you so much for posting, waverick.

I looked at my preferences;
Running very smooth with;

Resolution: 1600x1200
Shader comp: normal
Texture size: 512
Scen Den: 1
Simpler Water: Yes
Bloom: No
Max. Aniso: 0
Multisampling: 0

Confirmed working. A tad sluggish, but runs without any crashes or graphics errors.
