foryour info, the Mac is actually designed to make your tasks easy and fast. it's not meant for gaming in the main concern. But you still can play games on the Mac platform as long as don't set the graphic and all the setting to maximum due to limitation of the Macbook specs. To be friendly, 13" macbook pro does not come with any graphic card, it's not highly recommend to play high end graphic games like Diablo 3.
I'm playing Diablo 3 on my 13" Macbook Pro and the game is very playable on medium graphics settings. It's not going to harm your machine to play it! Blizzard also has a pretty good track record at making games in the Diablo franchise playable on a range of different hardware: you don't need a beast of a machine to play it.
Sure, but the point is the game runs quite nicely on the HD 3000. I'd argue that performance is just as likely to improve as they update the game. To stay on topic though, and to reiterate, running Diablo 3 on your macbook isn't going to hurt it.
@jefniro, mate thanks for the reply! I think in game you can type /fps and it should tell you! Let me know Also can you confirm what resolution you're playing on ? Even better, a screenshot would be ace!
50-60fps is a huge improvement over the original. I'm still running D2 & LoD and I get 25fps / 25 skip. It will start at 50 fps / skip 0 before dropping down. I think the older version caps the frames at 25.
@jefniro, ah you're a legend, thanks for taking the time to confirm!! Yep this is one of my all time favourite games and I've been tossing up whether to just buy a PC or to go the egpu route just to play it haha. Cheers!
@cnon297, hey mate! If you're still playing LoD you can run it through wine on mac. I played a bunch on slash diablo and got it working through Wine. theres a few tutorials floating around. I def remember better fps than that. There's also a HD mod. If you need more info let me know
@linx_le, I haven't played it the last couple of weeks. But yeah, I still do. It's one of those games that once I start I just can't break away. I finally got to a good stopping point & had to set it aside for a while.
25fps sounds lame. But remember the game is 21 years old! LoD actually plays very well even with the Intel HD 4000 in my '12 Mac mini. It doesn't need the 1080 Ti eGPU. The real trick was would it hold 25 fps with boss fights and a lot of enemies on screen. That's were my iMac DV would start to choke!
One feature I miss was the ability to create your own network with a group of friends rather than use Battle.net. It worked from anywhere - very cool! Tho lag could be an issue. Of course you could use Battle.net instead.
I can't remember where I bought D2. But yep, I bought LoD from K-Mart of all places! Locking at the receipt I think they overcharged me! I wonder if I could get the dime back before they close up shop.
