XQuartz or the builtin X11?

Not sure if Cider gives you the option. For what it’s worth I tried running it under XQuartz (home brewed Wine wrapper and Play on Mac) and the game ran like a dog on both. Running on Cider I’m not noticing a major performance hit even with all the toys turned on.

Windowed mode issue

Windowed full screen is an option only available in Windows. MacOS just doesnt do it. Eve has the same issue as it uses Cider for the Mac Client as well and there is no easy work around other than to run in a window smaller than your desktop. Some eve players found a way to use another program to customise their display sizes to allow for the menu bar but it was still a bit hit and miss.

Hint to all: you can just copy your Win installation

mtdor, the Mac version is just the windows version running under a customised version of the Wine wrapper called Cider which is produced and developed by Transgaming, the files are identical. It’s the same solution used by Eve if you ever play that on a Mac.

THANK YOU!
