2018 Macbook Pro Bootcamp Q&A

[maflynn]

Yes, Touch Bar as a rule stays always on in Boot Camp, which is the disaster, as it's an OLED display

Anyway to turn it off?

As I wrote above, the new DimBar utility has been created for this purpose (and actually beyond...)
See http://dimbar.forbootcamp.org
If in doubt about the origin of this tool please see my MacRumors thread about the alternate trackpad drivers which is active since 2012 https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/trackpad-alternate-trackpad-driver-for-bootcamp.1497761/page-24
It's from the same devs, and I happen to be one them.

Sorry, I missed that.

I'll download that now

I am still experiencing the crackling issues with the sound with windows 10 under boot camp. Are there still no fixes for it?

Hey! I just got a new MPB 2018 and have Windows 10 on Bootcamp. Has anyone had any trouble playing games? I've been attempting to play Overwatch and Destiny 2, and I'm able to play for about 15 minutes until my game crashes with the error "Your rendering device has been lost!" Computer isn't too hot, graphics is getting enough memory, I have zero idea why this is happening.

Has anyone had this occur, or does anyone know a workaround? Thanks!

PS: All drivers are fully updated.

How stable is Windows in Bootcamp?
How hot does the computer get?
Any bugs/glitches?

Hi, tried installing Win 10 Pro via bootcamp on the new MBP 15” 2018. It freezes after partitioning at the windows install screen - with no response from the keyboard or mouse. I’m running Mojave (not sure if that is related at all to the issue).

Haven’t experienced that one yet. If anything, this MBP (i9/Vega 20) is the best laptop I ever owned.

As for drivers: Have you tried www.bootcampdrivers.com ? Matd2100 is working on new drivers – he hit a „road block“ last week, so its taking some time, but these new drivers could be game changing.
