• Problems of DirectX running Win7 via Bootcamp on Macbook Pro

  Hello world.

  So I installed Win7 64-bit on my Macbook Pro (Intel Dup 2.66 GHz, 4 GB DDR3, NVidia GT 9400 M) using bootcamp eager to play games. I kind of want to go pick up Starcraft 2, but I don't want to buy a mac version of a game as much as I could get a PC of office within the next year some time.

  Anyway, so when I run the games, usually they are simply launching without saying anything or it will give me some message about Direct3D. Then, when I go in the DirectX diagnostic tool, it lists acceleration DirectDraw, Direct3D and TGP of texture as 'not available '. I checked and made sure the hardware acceleration has been at the highest level, who he was.

  Then, I went online to see what others were doing, and I found in a few places where people were installing DirectX 9.0 with DirectX 11 coming with Win7. I tried to install it and I get the following error message:

  "Internal error System. Please refer to DXerror.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder. »

  From there I wanted to just post a few places and see if someone else has fallen on these issues running Win7 on a mac, or something like that. I know that these laptops are supposed to run games on bootcamp pretty well, but I can't seem to overcome this problem. Looking for a next step.

  Thanks for reading.

  I would check to make sure you have your video drivers properly installed also.

  On the note of StarCraft 2, there is no separate versions.  As more cross-platform games nowadays they are delivered with the binary Windows and Macintosh on the same disk.

• Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

  I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

  I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
  Here are my system specs:

  
  Presentation of the material:

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 8 GB

  Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

  Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

  What I tried (from what I remember):

  I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

  If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

  So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

  If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you

  If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

• Is it smart to play games like World of Warcraft on a macbook pro 13'

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum, because I just bought a Macbook Pro 13' of 2015. I used to play games on a computer with windows laptop, but I bought a Macbook Pro for my work and study. I want to play games, but only if its not harmful for my Macbook. I tried to play WoW and he did work properly but the thing is that the fans inside the macbook has started to blow very hard. And the macbook started to warm up, I don't really know if it's a good thing...

  The question is: is it smart to play games like World of Warcraft on macbook pro 13' (2015)

  I really hope that there is someone in the same situation as me, and he can tell me his opinion on this subject.

• MacBook Pro stops during games

  MacBook Pro 15 "beginning 2013 retina

  10.1

  SCM: 2.3F35

  This doesn't seem to be an overheating problem. He was able to play the League of Legends in the past with no problems. Now when the game is loaded the PC will completely disable 45 seconds into the match. I am able to join the game after that 45 seconds have elapsed and the macbook will not stop past this point and I can play the game.

  The problem is on the top graphic games like Left 4 Dead 2, when there are things like the fire, the framerate will drop and it will start stuttering, 3 seconds later the PC shuts down completely.

  Trying to play cs, the game starts up, the map loads, a few seconds later, macbook stops.

  Tried to reset the SMC, which seemed to help it last more than a few seconds, but did not.

  Do you know what could be the problem? What is a graphics problem? Turning off graphics power would solve anything?

  EDIT: I forgot to mention this Macbook Pro was introduced in the apple store and they said nothing was wrong with it and they want to get in shape.

  Thanks for any help.

  Oh I love how they want that to get in shape.  Cheap easy way to find the solution.

  However, you must review each game official system requirements and compare with unity of graphics (GPU) on your computer.  Recommended system configuration should be observed, not the minimum.  When only the minimum requirements are met, the game may not run properly.  The System Profiler will tell you what you have.   MacBooks have many dual GPU, and their control is done through energy-saving:

  Set the graphics performance on MacBook Pro - Apple Support

  Changing this setting can help your game works or not.

  You can also run test material on your Mac in extended mode, starting with him was ' key using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

  If successful, the RAM or GPU could be a problem.   But that's where Apple wants to try reformatting.

  A way simpler and less intrusive than reformatting, becomes a player external and just install an empty operating system on it and the game alone.  That will reveal if the problem is hardware or software.

  You should still have a backup of your data and preferably two: *

• Games on Macbook Pro - retina with AMD M370X 2015

  New to Macbook Pro laptops. I bought 10 TIA for frames here at my job and supported more than 2 years now.

  Bought a new Macbook Pro the retina with the Radeon M370X graphics option 2015. I'm used to the game on Windows laptops and I have a question regarding battery drain.

  Run these computers laptops always battery? HP, Dell, etc. I could take out the battery and it will run strictly on the current.

  I ask because once I have Steam to load and install a game, I can play for about 45 minutes, while it is plugged in with the original 85W adapter, until the battery is at 5%.

  This is normal behavior for this laptop?

  Certainly, you can run the MBP with the charger connected even with the battery disconnected.  I don't recommend that because the OSX will be butterfly of the CPU and performance should be degraded.

  What do you use must be a serious resource hog.  In rare cases, when the charger is plugged in but additional power resources are needed, the battery is charged for the difference.  This is perhaps what is happening.

  Try a SMC reset and see if there is a difference:

• Can I play Star Wars Battlefront 3 on my MacBook Pro?

  Hi, can someone tell me if I can play the PC of Star Wars Battlefront 3 on my MacBook Pro version?  Are there special requirements or can I download the program and play?  I have a MacBook Pro with a processor Intel Core i5 with 4G memory on the 2.5 G and a card Intel HD Graphics with 1 400 MB.  Thank you.

  All first if it's a PC game and you have not installed windows. N ° other you must go to the game site and look for the minimum specs for the game. Generally the minimum specifications"means that the system will work. but not as good as you want to. It can run on a Mac with Virtual PC installed, but I'm not sure. My daughter and my son built their own PC with graphics cards top of range to run PC games. Most laptop computers including windows are well with high-end video games.

  Please see ports Thunderbolt and views: frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support .

• Why the sound does not work in Windows 10 with BootCamp installed on MacBook Pro mid 2012

  So, I recently had a mistake huge hard drive, then I formatted the drive and installed Windows 10 I downloaded the BootCamp 5.1.5621 software (which is the version for this computer) and my audio didn't work. I've used Windows 8.1 in the past without Activation, but that was a few months ago. I've deleted it 2 days after I put it on the computer, but all drivers well worked out there. Although I plug in a USB headset and audio installed and worked fine! Help, please! I even reinstalled BootCamp!

  I have the same Macbook Pro 2012 with boot camp and dual boot Windows-10 and Sierra.

  Everything works fine. I think you have the wrong boot camp files.

  I think that you need version 6. Reconnect to OS X and run the boot camp assistant and try to download new files from boot camp.
