Do your research and keep an open mind before you make statements like that.
I'm not going to waste any more time trying to explain to you why people purchase Mac's.0 -

Well built, fewer bugs, better uses for work, less chance of being hacked.
well built... lol You mean expensively built, impossible to upgrade at a reasonable cost, incompatible with almost everything. I don't know what you mean by better uses for work, windows is far better for most jobs, its far more versatile.
Mac exists for hipsters to pay out the nose and feel special about it.
As I just said, do your research. All the best video, audio, visual, and digital arts and engineering programs are designed for Mac. It's fact. You can't argue that.1 -
I, too, run ESO on the iMac I purchased in June 2013. Its specs are:
1. 3.4GHz Intel Core i7
2. 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
3. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
4. OS X 10.9.4
Most of the settings are at maximum and, aside from the occasional pop-in issues and occasional crashes, I've had no problems whatsoever with ESO on my iMac.
Mine is still experiencing a memory leak...it crashes every 2-3 hours on medium-low settings and every 20minutes - 1 hour in PvP. My build is pretty much identical to yours.0 -
Madval✭✭✭Don't know.. A friend's mother bought it one to him, I wanted to ask him, but he put it where it belong, in the trashcan, and bought himself a nice glorious pc laptop Asus rog who roxx. Sorry

Aeradon✭✭✭✭✭MBP Retina 13" 2013
Runs fine on Med, with tonnes of company docs opened in background.
Full Med no shadows no fancy stuff: 11-33 FPS
Full Ultra all fancy stuff: 8-17 FPS
Med Cyrodiil full size: 8-25 FPSPeople keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.
There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.
Help make this compilation complete!

I get crashes, too, likely from that memory leak. Usually when it crashes, it's after 4 to 6 hours of continuous play. Crashes, though, are the exception with my build. Weird how it affects folks differently, which must make it harder for the coding folks at ZeniMax to isolate and fix the problem.
I've yet to try PvP, though, in ESO. That could be the tipping point, but time will tell."Wheresoever you go, go with all of your heart."0 -
Nova Sky✭✭✭✭✭On a slight aside: Folks, PC or Mac, just leave each other alone. Use whatever system pleases you the most, and respect others' decisions regarding their chosen platforms. After all, it's not like their choice negatively affects your life.
I play on an iMac, and I also play on PS4/PS3. So what? Humanity fights enough among itself without needlessly adding "wars" like this to the mix. Good God Almighty."Wheresoever you go, go with all of your heart."0 -

Asking that is like asking the Xbox and PS guys to get along.

Salacious✭✭✭So I ran this game on my mac mini last night, super smooth. I ran it on medium (for everything) so while the edges of things like armour and such were rough. It ran amazingly well and the mini didnt even heat up. Like it does with diablo 3.0 -
Salacious✭✭✭Greetings folks,
For what it's worth, we heard that some people are running ESO on the old Mac-book AIR, and the game is running smoothly in medium/low graphics settings
However, we do not recommend doing so as it will most likely cause overheating issues on your machine, and can potentially damage it.
So why did you even make the game for macs? You should have researched the lowest it could go WITH OUT DAMAGING our machines because of heat.Akiainavas wrote: »On 2012 Mac Mini with Intel HD4000 the game runs "fine" on medium details under bootcamp. Under OS X it's only playable on low with high textures. Still not a terrible deal though as Minis are definitely not meant for gaming.
This is not true, it runs fine on Medium with all textures turned on. The mini doesn't even heat up. Then again I have the I7 HD 4000 2012 mini.Why whould you even try to run it on a Mac? Just let that system die out in peace.
It's like owning a sportscar and a stationwagon.......and using the stationwagon.
The stationwagon works yes, but its slow clunky and nothing works right for it.
Macs are not dying. They are amazing. They are the only platform worth doing any kind of development on.Macs are the Betamax of the computer world.
They may have better coding system and stuff but they arn't supported by anyone and should just admit defeat and stop wasting peoples time.
Nah. You should just stop being a troll.bertenburnyb16_ESO wrote: »dont plan on playing PvP then because THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE FRAKKIN MEMORY LEAK AND SH*T KEEPS CRAHING!!! srry, but well, they advertised this game for pc and mac (also consoles but lets not go there) but I can only play half of the game...
I hate PVP ...

I can't set the graphics to blow-your-mind gorgeous but I'm good until the console drops. There, now y'all have two reasons to hate on me. I'm a Mac and a console gamer; big screen TV, comfortable chair and no mods.

Have you updated the driver for your graphics card? Might fix the memory leak issue for you.I don't always drink Skooma, but when I do I go to the Southwall Corner Club. May you walk on warm sands my friends.0
