Re: Is anyone successfully running games under Windows on a Mac? by Russell Lasson on Mar 26, 2008 at 4:18:23 pm
On my MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz, I run Battlefield 2 and World in Conflict at the highest settings. It's great! No problems except for an occasional crash if I try to adjust the volume on the computer while I'm in the game. No problem though, I just adjust it before I start the game.

I've got my students running the Aurora Toolset from the original Neverwinter Nights (not a "new" game) and it works flawlessly.
I did, however, run into problems when I attempted to use GameMaker. Games created in GameMaker would not compile and display properly on the screen. I was told this was an DirectX problem...but at the same time, Neverwinter Nights is a DirectX game and it ran fine.
Anyway, the latest update from Parallels seems to have solved the GameMaker problem.

That's pretty much the only reason I put Windows on my MacBook Pro, and I haven't had any problems. Bioshock worked OK (mainly due to my MBP being a little old and not having a brand new video card). Games like Half-Life 2, Portal, City of Heroes, have all worked flawlessly. Really there shouldn't be any discernible difference between running Windows through Boot Camp versus on any other computer.
