Trying to play on Mac Via Bootcamp

January 17, 2011 4:03:36 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hi there, this game looks freaking awesome and I am trying to play it on Mac via bootcamp.  

I installed the game via digital download and when I click on the Trinity shortcut it brings me to the game menu where you can click play game or select chapter.  When I click play game nothing happens and it it just crashes. 

I think it is a problem with the launch driver but is there anything I should do to fix this????

your help is much appreciated, you are making a very happy nerd here

Did you update first before trying to play it?

I play on MAC via bootcamp with no issues.  While your problem may in fact be related to your specific MAC hardware configuration, it is not inherently a problem with bootcamp -- my bootcamp / Windows 7 setup works for all games as if it was a regular PC.

JohnJames, this might make you cringe but how would one do that?

and Mr. Cykur, my MAC is a Mac book pro (2010 model) with a NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics card.  Im sure the fault is completely my own but is there anything related to this problem that you think I could try to fix this?  This game looks so amazing and I guess I just need a little help to get it going :/   (what kind of mac do you have?)

Thank you guys for your time and help

impulsedriven.com is where you get impulse.  You will need to register then update.

 

also go to nvidia.com to upgrade your video card drivers if game update doesnt work

JohnJames...you are a boss.  I updated my nvidia drivers (and being a mac user I didnt even know what a driver was before this..) and now not only does SINS run but my computer looks beautiful.  You freaking rock

np.. make sure you watch some replays and read the basic strategies of the game. Dont need to reinvent anything if you dont have to
