RO and new Macbooks?

[Spoon]

Hey all
I wanna pick up a new macbook and wondering if this game will run well with the macbooks specs?
Probably will be running it on 1280x1050 res. How will it handle it?

Just got to say this is still the best WW2 game out there. LOVE IT.

Long as it has a decent graphics card it should run pretty good.

So long as it will be running a windows OS then afaik yes. That's really the key thing, steam doesn't run on MacOS

I haven't tested it myself as I don't have a Mac but it sounds promising enough.

Not RO, and not a new MacBook, but it does give you a rough idea of how it might run.

mac book pro is a workstation, aka it will have a good graphics card.

The regular macbook got a worse graphics card the 9400m although for an old game like red orchestra it should be able to handle it fine.

RO cares more about your processor than your graphics card. Should run just fine, especially given that the engine is a few years old. I used to play the mod version on my Powerbook, and that was quite playable. Since your Macbook will definitely have a better proc and gpu than I had, you should be fine.

Edit: Yeah, just to be sure, I checked my old PB. I only had a single 1.67 Ghz proc. You've probably got some 2+ Ghz Core 2 Duo.

Why is the need of Apple Bootcamp or Microsoft OS? Don't you now WINE can be run on MacOSX?

Wine is a giant pain to get working and somewhat unreliable.

It'd be easier to dual boot.

buy a proper laptop sy:

As Bobdog mentioned, RO needs bit more CPU than anything else.

But as long as you have other components (memory, display driver, CPU) in decent balance and a way to run the game, it should be fine. Even my Acer laptop can run RO with high details and wide-screen resolution and only in some very very very large maps (like that one huge-*** winter tank custom map) it has minor FPS issues.

Actually, this laptop is even capable of running BiAHH very playable, unless you don't count small resolution you gotta use

You said 1280x1050?

The 13 inch model will only do 1280x800. I've played it on an old macbook 13 inch model that used integrated intel gfx - and RO sucked balls on it but I'm guessing the 9400M is decent.

If you have the 15 inch version ... it'll run like butter, even at higher resolutions on an external monitor.

I actually tried earlier today to run Red Orchestra on Acer Aspire One my mother bought some time ago. To my surprise, it actually ran, and if you put everything as low as possible and 320x[whatever] resolution on you could actually play it online, as long as it was not too large server and\or map.

Not bad for 9inch laptop tbh
