Starcraft 2 Mac Beta in April

chrysrobyn said:
I got Starcraft for my PC when it first came out -- back when there were 3 box designs, one for each race. My CD was stamped "Ver 1.0" and did not have a mac version on it. My girlfriend (now wife) ordered it shortly afterwards for her Mac, and it was stamped "Ver 1.04" and a hybrid CD arrived.

Yes, Blizz has a long history of supporting the Mac, and recent titles have been simultaneously released, but it's not "all past Blizzard games".

Pretty sure it's a moot point. :)
 
Yeah I just checked, the Mac link in my battle.net account for SC2 beta is still greyed out

It's the only reason I partitioned my drive and I'd like my space back please. :)
 
what FPS do you guys get?

I'm playing on my iMac, latest windows drivers installed at all medium settings, full rez. I cap out at 30FPS, is there a way to raise the FPS?

Also my name is iron.demon if anyone wants to play with me. Currently I'm in the Gold League :)
 
Two questions:

Can I use the same beta key to play on both my PC & Mac (when the Mac client comes out obviously)? Or is it 1 beta key/computer?

Also, I don't see an option on battle.net to download the beta client...I already did the opt-in. How do I join beta? I got my key from Gamestop after pre-ordering SC2 if that helps.

Question 1: Beta access grants you the ability to use both the PC and Mac clients.

Question 2: In your battle.net account, you should see "Add or Upgrade a Game." Click on that, enter your key as instructed then it will redirect you back to your account page where you will see the Starcraft 2 Beta in your list of games.

Thanks for the reply. So would I be able to download the mac client twice? For example, if I wanted to run it on my MBP (mid 2010) and compare it to my bro's MBP (late 2009) could I use the same key?

Sure, you just cant play at the same time.

I'm both happy and annoyed. Happy, because the client's out. Annoyed, because I'm replaying through SC1 to remember the story and I haven't finished yet!

3 gigs?! The Windows torrent is only like 1.6 gigs (looked it up just then to check).

Haha yeah - and it doesn't even include the map editor! Wonder why it's so big.... ah well I don't mind other than the longer than expected download.

Haha, yeah well what can you do? If you haven't played SC2 yet on bootcamp then you are in for a treat :)

Can't wait to be able to play natively and not have to reboot....
