POE for mac

I downloaded the Unofficial Path Of Exile Mac OS X port now what? Please help, because I really want to play :(

Excuse me for asking but... Why did you buy a mac in the first place?

Edit: I think windows would be better for playing games atleast... :)

This is the forbidden question. Let's ignore it please. It only leads to flame wars. (the quick answer is: most people who buy macs do so because they are misinformed about what makes them bad/good)

The answer to the OP's question is: Mac port is extremely unlikely. POE uses direct X, which has no native library for Linux/Unix (Mac is Unix). GGG would need to port POE to OpenGL in order to port the game, which is prohibitive at this time. Go bootcamp if you want to play.

You should install bootcamp anyways.. It just plays every game on way higher settings that OSX. OSX is not for games IMO. But besides that it's a great OS.

I support the idea of a native port for Mac.

I support this :)

Maybe in a couple years.....

Until then. Bootcamp.

Bootcamp works great. On it's own drive if you can.

To answer the "Why buy a Mac?" question:

I have yet to have boot-camped windows crash on a Mac, any of them. This is just one reason I have several. PM me for a list if you care. ;-)

Lmao, doing the exact opposite of what you said, and making a comment that will no doubt lead to a flame war. Nice troll.

You interpreted the statement in your own way. People who buy macs usually are misinformed - because Apple loves to misinform them. Macs are good at specific things, but too many people believe they are overall better at tasks they simply aren't suited for.

That said, a native mac port is not something you can just "support" - direct X is a low level library, so to replace it with OpenGL would create a lot of work for their bug-squashing teams, as well as require GGG to support two different game platforms (or at least, they'd probably have to drop the direct x one). It would be very expensive and time-consuming to port, because they've already invested a lot of time optimizing their game for video cards, and I think such optimizations would be lost from switching to OpenGL (though I don't know this for a fact). Though, it might be something they pursue after the company is large enough to afford it, but I would personally prefer they expand the content of the game, when it's so trivial to ask someone just to bootcamp and ask them to restart their computer to play.
