Hi,

I’m running Guild Wars 2 on a mid 2011 iMac (21.5 inch model) through bootcamp, with a Radeon HD 6750 graphics card. I can run almost all settings on high, but shadows seem to be non existent even when turned on!

When I tried to update the driver (to AMD Catalyst), an error is shown:
“AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. Your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter.”

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Maybe you should switch to the Windows master race.

No seriously, GW2 tech support can’t be given to Mac users because the game doesn’t officially support it. Running it through bootcamp != mac support.

The information you’re providing him is false. A Mac running Windows software is supported by ArenaNet. It doesn’t matter what hardware you are running Windows on, as long as the OS is Windows it is supported.

I run this game perfectly fine on a 27 inch iMac under bootcamp.

I did a Google search and ran across this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3787464?start=0&tstart=0

Just do a Google search for Radeon HD 6750 iMac Win 7 driver. It’s not an issue with Apple or your iMac the issue is a AMD issue and has nothing to do with the fact you are running an iMac.

I’m sure as you know anytime you have a Mac people will attack you as you’ve seen in this thread. You probably wont find much help here when you mention you have a Mac. You’ll likely just get attacked and trolled.

Okay, so I downloaded the driver from the link you provided and shadows now work! Thank you for your help man – this game now looks even better!

The game runs extremely well on my iMac, so users can attack/troll me all they want

Cheers mate.
