While my serious playtime in EVE happens on a juiced up Vista gaming tower, my daily computer of choice has long been a MacBook Pro. So when the OSX client came out last year, it gained a permanent spot in my OSX Dock. Once the lagging performance and crash issues got worked out, it even became viable for (non PVP) play.
The only downside? No Premium graphics. Moving back and forth between my Mac and Vista systems was a tiny bit painful as a result – while the gaming itself was still fun, the immersion brought on the by stellar (pun!) Premium graphics pack was just unbeatable.
So now, according to Macworld…us long slighted OSX users at last get the full graphics in all their glory!
Mac support of “Premium” graphics was promised, and was ultimately delayed while CCP Games and its Mac development partner, TransGaming, addressed numerous underpinning issues. The release of Apocrypha—which will be a free update for all users—marks the official introduction of Premium graphics support for the Mac (it’s already been in a public beta on CCP Games’ staging server).
I’d heard rumors about this but haven’t been actively following the Dev Blog. Oh…so nice!
Thanks for coming back for another visit!
