I preordered through Gameagent since it was only 33,99 (dollar price was 59,99 though?) and came with the Mechromancer pack. I got the Steam key in mail now, but it says it can't be activated because the game hasn't been officially released yet :/
Borderlands 2 runs very well, feels like a quality port.
For some reason I cannot get my steam cloud saves, but that might as well be steam having issues.
I've run into a "funny" bug, not that it does anything tho:
That is unexpected.
Well, maybe I should try running it on my MacBook.
I've been playing the windows version for a while now and have been looking forward to the mac port. Overall I'm really glad with the work they did. I have a mid 2010 27" imac (i7, 8 gig ram and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB).
In windows I run this game with all settings maxed out (and the physix set to medium) and it runs extremely well on native resolution.
The mac versions runs at 1900 x 1080 with everything else's maxed and physix on low and it runs really good. Overall I'm extremely pleased with the port.
The thing bothering me most is that I have to make a new character and can't continue with my pc character. Perhaps (or hopefully) they'll fix that, cause I'd love to continue with my existing character!
Cheers,
Brun

If maxed out (2650x1440) on a HD5750 and physx medium on GPU (i7-870) is running extremely well, then we have a very different viewpoint what "well" is.
Well I get 30 - 40 frames per second, which (at least for my personal taste) is "well" or "rather good"... I did forgot to say that I don't use the FXAA but I use an overlay SMAA mod to achieve similar (but less demanding) results.
I assume you have the same setup as I have, so does a friend of mine, he has the exact same build-to-order iMac as I have and we've noticed a weird thing. There are games that perform really well on my iMac, but run rather bad on his iMac (once again, the exacts same build as my iMac).
Anyhow, as I said, I'm happy with the frame rate I'm getting.
Any way of getting controller support in the mac version and is there a way I can bring my Necromancer over from my PC save ?
I copied my PC saves over and they work.
Pc saves-> Documents/My Games/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/SaveData/
Mac Saves-> "user"/Library/App Support/Borderlands 2/WillowGame/SaveData/
I thought steam cloud should do this automatically, but doesn't seem like it does
Thank you that worked a treat. Yeah I know, what's the point of steam cloud if it can't do this ?
Since the PC and Mac versions aren't always on the same patch, they're on separate Steam Clouds to prevent issues with taking saves from a newer version back to an older version.
I guess that makes sence
What about the error where it says that "Borderlands requires a PowerPC processor running at 500MHz or faster" popup?
I know that my machine aren't supported, but that message must be a bug, as I doubt my old PowerMac G4 would run this
Looks great on Mac but I simply cant play with keyboard & mouse. Tried setting it up with gamepad companion but it causes bad graphical glitches in the game.
Think I'll have to continue this one on bootcamp side. Also framerate is better on PC side too, but not hugely.

Wow, I didn't know there were people who actually preferred playing FPS games with a controller instead of Keyboard/Mouse. You have so much more precision with a mouse, so like, why ?
Just looked and it is in the sale, 25% off so £22.49. I had only recently got Borderlands and was not going to get 2 till I had completed the first one, however with the combination of Mac support and sale price, I've just bought it
Just got borderlands 2 running on my mac mini 2012, works surprisingly well. I can play at 1080p, but i do get some lag when there is a lot of stuff going on. But since it's only a integrated graphics card i'm more that pleased!
