Problems running the game on a Macbook

[ho-tdog]

I’m trying to run the game on my Macbook Pro using Windows 7 with Parallels. The laptop has two graphic cards (Intel HD Graphics 4000 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M) both of which have the latest drivers installed and support OpenGL 3.2. I have tried manually switching between the cards, but I always get the “OpenGL context creation failed” error when starting the game.

I really hope someone can help me out here. I was looking foreward to play this game in the last week of my holidays.

Hi,

I was in exactly the same boat as you. There is nothing you can do with regard to getting it working in parallels. There is no way for parallels to recognise your nvidia card so that you can install the necessary drivers for OpenGL to work. You have two options.

1. Wait till mac release on the 11th

2. Install windows using boot camp (this is what I did). It’s a very tricky process on what I can assume is a retina mac book pro, but it works no problem then.

Hope this helps,

Hm, that’s a shame. Thanks for your answer!
