I've got a standard desktop Mac, a couple of years old with 2.66Ghx Intell Core 2 Duo with 4GB of ram. I've heard there are some laggy issues with the ported version, but I suppose there will be with the bootcamp method as well. Which method will give me the best gameplay?

It's genius really is what it is. But it needs to be on Mac. Please. Apple and Bethesda can really promote the hell out of each other too.

I believe in supporting devs, not pirating their property. By all means talk about it, but no links to pirated software.

I'm wondering whether they will port Fallout 3 as well. If you want to take a look google: fallout 3 mac pirate bay.

The same happens when I installed windows. After I installed the Bootcamp-drivers the Windows OS sets itself to that resolution. And when I install new games under Windows, they check my performance and set themself to the best resolution which is always 1680x1050 on my computer. What I want to say is that it's a Fallout Bug that you can't choose HD-resolution at the Option menu. It has nothing to do with the performance of your computer or of your monitor. My monitor was built for that good resolution. So I would suggest you should try running fallout 3 with that resolution and see if it works. If you have a good and new Mac, 1680x1050 definitely works with your monitor. Please let me know if you have news about running Fallout 3 with cider, because it would be great not to have to boot everytime into windows. By the way theres new downloadable content for Fallout: Broken Steel. It's extremly good. It continues the Story of Fallout 3. It takes Place after the ending. a new main quest and a few more side quest you can do. And the new level limit is at level 30. Great game..

I’ve not tried under Cider, but I’ll have a chat with a couple people and see if they have any suggestions.

And I forgot a sentence after the first sentence: My monitor definitely works with that kind of resolution, you can say it was build for that resolution as every Imac since at least 2006. P.S: It's really a shame Fallout isn't out for the Mac. I tried it to port it with Cider but it just didn't work (Oblivion works by the way... really weird). The only thing is when I start the FalloutLauncher.exe under Mac it opens up, but I can only hear music and see nothing. When I directly start the game it closes directly during the startup. Anyone tried to get it work with cider? Oh sorry the first word I meant “No” instead of “Now”.
