Guild Wars 2

most laptops do not have upgradable cards, there are a small few, but even if you bought a pc your usually stuck with your video card if it is a laptop.

usually the reason for a wrapper wine/cider whatever as another pointed out is DirectX. DirectX is a microsoft technology and will likely never be supported on OsX.

I’m not sure if this engine is bought third party or wholly built in hours by arena net but usually it comes down to what the engine is built on. so much is invested in either licensing and customizing or building an engine from the ground up that once you’ve committed to either directX or openGL you will not see a change as its not worth the time invested for the company.

I am hopeful we see more engines in the future build with calls to both like blizzard has or a wholly openGL game that would truly be cross platform. thanks to the rise in iOS gaming we are seeing a lot more of a push towards openGL engines but outside of blizzard I have yet to see a solid native game of any substantial size. they are all using a wrapper..

yep, same issue here, i just gave up and ran full screen mode. i tried my damnedest to get the menu bar to move up off screen but it always shot back down, frustrating.

I have to add to the roar of thank you’s!!! this was the most wonderful surprise !!!

no it doesn’t run as smooth as the windows client yet, but i’m just glad you’re already working on it!

thank you thank you thank you!
