Any gaming improvements on 13" after new firmware?

[donkeyboyie]

I was reading that the new update for macbook pro's were graphical; and I was wondering if the HD 3000 drivers were updated. If so, anyone experiencing higher fps on games than on the previous firmware?

thanks!

Borderlands still has graphical problems.

What's the nature of the problems in Borderlands?

Since that update I'm getting graphical glitches in WoW, and my mouse cursor sometimes gets very choppy. Only changes I noticed.

That's a bummer =/ seems like there's no noticeable positive improvements.

There's one of the graphical problems. I've seen the scope like that on two guns so far.

I work for Feral (we developed Borderlands on the Mac) so I do know Borderlands does have some side effects when playing on a Intel HD3000. The biggest issue is some decals etc are rotated 90 degrees and changing your resolution while playing the game results in a permanent black screen. These are side effects of missing features in the drivers compared to other cards in older MacBookPro machines.

We are working on building up a list of the issues with the HD3000 and also thinking about how we can disable certain graphics options or alter our methods to get around the problems. If you notice issues with any Feral game on your 13″ MacBookPro please email our support team so we can make sure we look into it and more importantly let you know when we have a solution.

Cheers,

Edwin

For the record, my 2010 mbp with the nVidia gpu plays borderlands just fine.
