OS X: Anyone play Starcraft 2 on their Mac?

[Doggman]

I play off and on... I'm garbage and in bronze league but I'm gettin better and I'm lookin forward to HoTS

I do! Good to see fellow Mac user on SC2.

The mice behavior in mac version of SC2 really bothers me though. It has been changed, updated, and yes, it is better than from what is was. But I still can't manage to have a mice pointer in a exact location I want as I play.

Perhaps Blizzard will fix this soon as well. This is the only reason why I have bootcamp in my MBP: MICE in SC2 SIMPLY DOESNT WORK!

The mouse behavior issues is not coming from SC2 itself, but rather from OS X. OS X reads mouse movement differently than Windows, and it's considered by many as one of OS X's major flaws. Fortunately though, there is people working on a solution, called "Smooth Mouse", and I encourage every one to take a look at their blog:

I play periodically.

If you're having mouse problems, are you using a 3rd party mouse which has a higher than average DPI or poll rate?
If so, read this:

I do, almost on a daily basis. Pretty fun, as I'm better than almost all of my friends. As for mouse issues, I don't notice anything, but maybe it's just me. Also can't wait for HoTS.

Since I have updated my SCII to the latest patches I think it performs better but the game crashes every time during the loading sequence after every mission. Is is the only game I play on OSX.

I don't play multiplayer but I have completed the single campaign on brutal. I just can't be bothered to get into it.

Looking forward to HotS but I hope they put more effort into the story and dialogue...WoL dialogue was pitiful compared to SC1.

I'm glad I checked the Battlenet after one year, because of this thread. My account was closed, because someone tried to get in my StarCraft 2 account. I could reactivate my account again with security question.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm in low bronze league, but I still have fun playing. Definitely looking forward to HoTS.

What mouse do you guys use for SC2 on your Mac? How's the performance?

[chevellian]

Hello guys, big SC2 fan and have it played since its release (Collector's Edition) so I have never experienced any mouse trouble, at first I used to play with my Magic Mouse but then I switched to a Razer Spectre (and Razer Banshee) and has worked well. With the Razer Spectre there's this know issue with the Phillips track sensor but never experienced as well, now both of my Razer devices are 1 year old.

As to my multiplayer performance I started in Bronze League (Season 1) and have been promoted to Platium and also demoted to Silver lol.

I started playing SC2 on a Early 2008 17" MBP on Low graphics settings, then I got a Early 2011 17" MBP on high settings, the game was fast but it took forever to load on multiplayer. Now I play on a Early 2012 15" rMBP and its beatiful, this beast can run it on Extreme or Insane settings with no problem.

It's good to see that the SC2 mac community is growing, hope see you guys on a match soon!

P.D. Sorry for my english I'm mexican so...
