So, the game was running fine 2 weeks ago. I installed the mumble client and odd things started happening in game. I used the Sourceforge download. Even after uninstalling Mumble it still happens.

After this was shot, I played with the AA settings in game and saw some improvement, but some artifacts were still there. The is a new Mac Mini in Bootcamp, Win 8.1, Intel Iris 5100 graphics, 8 GB ram. Any thoughts?

Sparkly.

But not in the good way.

Wish I had some advice but I know zilch about Macs.

I've been in IT 20 years and this is my first mac. Always told myself I'd do it someday. Smiley: lol So played with it last night and I think I figured it out. Updating in case someone else needs this. The Intel CPU has its own graphics utility. There's a section for 3D and it has a special "enhanced" AA setting. On a hunch, I disabled that and left the in game AA cranked up. Looking purdy again! Smiley: grin

is there any chance you can give me an idea of how the game runs? I'm wanting to upgrade my Mac and don't know whether to keep with a Mac mini or upgrade to an iMac, but I've been playing this game on a laptop from 2012, but I'm tired of getting 40fps in dungeons and considered doing the bootcamp thing if it looks/plays better.

If I had the money, I'd be using an iMac. I have to run in 720, with Stardard laptop settings, and get 24-30 fps. Load (zoning) times are ok. And it gets pretty warm. I've resorted to using a frozen gel pack inside a silicone bake pan to keep it cool during gaming sessions. It still doesn't compare to my 5 year old modest gaming PC that my wife insists on using. Smiley: wink

I love my macbook pro but if you are serious about games just build a windows machine and use it for only games... or get a PS4. You could do both and still be cheaper than a new Mac. Just keep the Mac you have for doing everything else. It is what I do and works well... also I hate heating up my mac running games.

My uncle was always a mac guy until he started gaming with me a few years back. You have to jump through hoops to play games and they become bricks relative to new technology after a couple of years since you can't build them like PCs.

I really don't understand the Allure. My laptop is a $2500 macbook pro and for gaming it's complete garbage compared to a $1500 ASUS.

I got a Mac because I wanted to learn iOS 8 and Swift. It takes a backseat to my PC and PS4.
