Guild Wars 2

Will macbook retina get a support? Because i see the client doesn’t support it now.

It’s not actually a native mac client, it’s just a cider port using a wrapper(TransGaming is doing the port), so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I run the game at 2880×1800 on my 15" Macbook Pro Retina(i7 @ 2.6GHz) using a Windows 7 bootcamp install so I can confirm that it is supported.

That’s my portable machine.

My desktop is a whole different beast.

I wouldn’t run at that resolution, performance wise especially on notebook GPU.

It will run as Anet has announced GW2 for Mac, but HOW will it run is another different story…

if it’s even playable at 2880×1800 even at lowest settings I’ll be very surprised. RMPBs aren’t what I call a powerful laptop lol.

Actually RMBPs are pretty powerfull, no reason why they couldn’t handle the game. They come in variations with i7 CPUs and pretty good GPUs

What exactly do you mean by retina support? The client works on the retina MBP, only performance is much lower than under Windows.

DJRuful: the retina MBP is essentially a gaming laptop equipped with a GTX 660M analogue. It is pretty decent for gaming. I play GW2 under Bootcamp at 1920×1200 at high settings.

I would suggest playing at 1440×900 which is half retina res looks pretty good here and you get way higher frames.
Also apple has overclocked the 650m in the retina and it really flyes for a laptop graphics chip.

This game as many other apps for the Retina MBP is having a problem with the screen resolution. Almost every single app or program that haven’t been optimized for the Retina display is not having a smooth look :/

It runs fine at 2880×1800 at low settings, and relatively well at medium. The rMBP is a very powerful machine, regardless of what you consider to be a powerful laptop. Take it from someone who owns one, eh?

I get terribly bored of reading comments from people who simply regurgitate misinformed drivel from the lolwut crowd. You know, the kind of people who end a sentence with lol, like it somehow stamps knowledge.
