Odd. as for the actual game I see the "Regnum online loading" little splash screen and then regnum catches a crash after a few seconds.

Now what I AM able to do to run the game under OS X is run it through Vmware Fusion 2.0. This works on both the Nvidia and ATI card. I was able to run the game at 1440 x 900 resolution "Fixed pipeline" using the direct 3d renderer and was getting around 27 FPS in game. So it was at least playable, albeit not looking as pretty. Possibly Fusion 3.0 would look better and have support for shaders and OpenGL.

Argh, it doesn't sound well enough to enjoy playing RO on Mac. Happily I'm gonna get my PC with Win XP back. ;-)

In July I'll try to run RO again after I'll change my current MacBook for new MBP.

Thanks anyway.
